Abstract:
Abstract: The study is been conducted to understand the different techniques to separate nitrogen from atmospheric air. Separation of nitrogen takes place by following techniques: Cryogenic air separation, Pressure swing adsorption and Membrane separation technique. Cryogenic air separation operates at a very low temperature, which uses the principle of rectification to separate nitrogen at a very high purity (99.999%). Pressure swing adsorption rely on the fact that higher the pressure, more the gas is adsorbed which results in high purity (95-99.99%) of nitrogen. Membrane separation technolo

An efficient vascular system is built to connect the nodule to the root, which delivers sugars and other nutrients to the nodule and removes the products of nitrogen fixation for use in the rest of the plant.

Abstract:
The energy complex of Russia is largely based on oil and gas potential. One of the ways to maintain the rate of hydrocarbon production is the use of gas methods. In this regard, inexpensive methods of obtaining pure gases are relevant. One of such approaches is the use of installations with selective membranes, the use of which is ineffective without preliminary modeling. There are currently no models that provide accurate quantitative results. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to develop a detailed mathematical model of the gas separation process in an installation with selective me

Abstract:
Lipid composition in tea leaves is significantly affected by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and nitrogen levels. Here, to reveal the response of lipids in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) to the interaction between nitrogen and UV radiation, we treated tea plants with three gradients of UV radiation under two nitrogen levels by the hydroponic method. Lipidomics results show that ultraviolet radiation can decrease neutral lipid (TAG) and increase membrane lipids (including PC, PE, and PG) under hydroponic conditions, indicating that tea plants could survive UV radiation by decomposing TAG to avoid

Symbiotic interaction between Medicago truncatula and Sinorhizobium meliloti results in the formation on the host roots of new organs, nodules, in which biological nitrogen fixation takes place. In infected cells, rhizobia enclosed in a plant-derived membrane, the symbiosome membrane, differentiate to nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. The symbiosome membrane serves as an interface for metabolite and signal exchanges between the host cells and endosymbionts. At some point during symbiosis, symbiosomes and symbiotic cells are disintegrated, resulting in nodule senescence. The regulatory mechanisms tha

Low-pressure (micro- and ultrafiltration) membranes are increasingly being used in water reclamation processes treating secondary or tertiary effluent from wastewater treatment plants. The main challenge remains the fouling of membrane surface/pores by organic matter which prevents efficient operation. The extent of this fouling strongly depends on feed water quality as well as membrane properties. The aim of this study is to characterize wastewater effluent organic matter (EfOM) and to describe its fouling behavior in relation to various membrane properties (pore size, charge, material, hydro

Nodules, developed as part of the symbiosis, harbor rhizobia that are enclosed in a plant-derived symbiosome membrane (SM) to form an organelle-like structure called the symbiosome. In mature nodules exchanges between the symbionts occur across the SM.

In the framework of a circular economy, wastewater treatment should be oriented toward processes that allow the recovery of the resources present in the wastewater while ensuring good effluent quality. Nitrogen recovery is usually carried out in streams concentrated in this nutrient because these high concentrations facilitate nitrogen valorization. On the other hand, the mainstream of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) has a high potential for nitrogen recovery, but it is not usually considered because it is hard to manage due to its low nitrogen concentration.
