Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Gaseous Nitrogen Losses from the Concentrated Liquid Fraction of Pig Slurries by G. L. Velthof, R. P. J. J. Rietra

“…The lowest apparent N recovery (ANR) in the pot experiment with grass was obtained for incorporated pig slurry (30–39%) and surface-applied MC (33–38%), while the highest ANRs were obtained for liquid ammonium nitrate (45–53%) and acidified MC (43–55%). It is concluded that MCs have a similar N fertilizer value as mineral N fertilizers if NH3 emission is reduced by incorporation or acidification.…”

Modelling nitrogen transformation in the Lake Bunyonyi ecosystem, South‑Western Uganda by Alex, Saturday, Thomas, J. Lyimo, John, Machiwa, Pamba, Siajali

“…The developed model predicted reasonably well the behaviour of the lake evidenced by the validation results of observed and simulated data that showedgood linear regression coefficients (R2) of organic nitrogen (0.48), ammonia–nitrogen (0.68), and nitrate–nitrogen (0.61). The model has proven suitable for application on lakes with characteristics similar to that of Lake Bunyonyi. …”

Actinide Oxide Dissolution in Tributyl Phosphate by Gogolski Jarrod, Goetzman Chelsea, Mills Matthew, Nguyen Vinh, Rudisill Tracy, Lascola Robert

“…An alternative to dissolving used nuclear fuel (UNF) in an acidic solution during reprocessing is direct dissolution in an organic solution, which would eliminate an aqueous dissolution step, decrease the amount of nitrate needed, and reduce the facility size. The flowsheet for this potentially less expensive alternative is first to voloxidize the UNF to remove fission product gases and form an oxide. …”
