Comparison of multimedia and printed patient education tools for patients with osteoporosis: a 6-month randomized controlled trial
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of adding a video tool to a printed booklet on osteoporosis. Both strategies were effective in increasing knowledge and decreasing decisional ...

Nitrogen-15 labeling effectiveness of two tropical legumes
Nitrogen-15 foliar applications for the production of field-labeled plant tissues may achieve more effective labeling of plant shoot and root tissues and minimize directly labeling the soil N fraction as occur...

Uptake of nitrogen by flue-cured tobacco during maturation and senescence
A field experiment was conducted with flue-cured tobacco,Nicotiana tabacum L., to examine the hypothesis that after removal of the reproductive tissues (top**), which is coincident with rapid depletion of soil ...

Uptake of nitrogen by flue-cured tobacco during maturation and senescence
A field experiment with flue-cured tobacco,Nicotiana tabacum L., was conducted to estimate the uptake and partitioning of nitrogen during maturation and senescence. On the 83rd day after transplanting (crop day 8...

Partitioning of reduced nitrogen derived from exogenous nitrate in maize roots: Initial priority for protein synthesis
When roots of five day-old maize seedlings were exposed to15N-nitrate, a constant (25–29%) proportion of the reduced15N derived from the entering15N-nitrate accumulated as insoluble15N nitrogen. Constancy was est...

Partitioning of previously-accumulated nitrate to translocation, reduction, and efflux in corn roots
The effect of nitrate uptake, or its absence, on the utilization of nitrate previously accumulated by dark-grown, decpitated maize (Zea mays L., cv. DeKalb XL-45) seedlings was examined. Five-d-old plants that ha...

Daily changes in nitrate influx, efflux and metabolism in maize and pearl millet
Maize (Zea mays L.) and pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) seedlings were exposed to [15N]nitrate for 1-h periods at eight times during a 24-h period (16–8 h light-dark for maize; 14–10 h for millet)...

Nitrate Transport Processes and Compartmentation in Root Systems
During normal growing conditions, most higher plants in the vegetative stage tend to accumulate nitrate in the unreduced form in their root tissues and in their above-ground conducting tissues. Under certain s...

Nitrate influx and efflux by intact wheat seedlings: Effects of prior nitrate nutrition
Wheat (Triticum vulgare L., cv. Blueboy) seedlings, grown with 0.25, 1.0 and 15 mM nitrate in complete nutrient solutions, were transferred 10 days after germination to 1.0 mM K15NO3 (∼99 A% 15N) plus 0.1 mM CaSO

Oxygen Uptake by Illuminated Maize Leaves
EFFICIENT apparent photosynthesis and high rates of accumulation of dry matter in maize and other tropical grasses have been attributed to a lack of respiratory activity during illumination. Low CO2 compensation ...
