Wang Qingren, a Chinese physician, made interesting observations regarding the cardiovascular system approximately 200 years ago. His textbook of anatomy was based on cadaveric dissections only and this resulted in many of his observations being erroneous. Nevertheless, Wang made steps forward in reversing past misconceptions based on Chinese mysticism.

Optimizing the weight loss-on-ignition methodology to quantify organic and carbonate carbon of sediments from diverse sources.
Environ Monit Assess
March 2011
Department of Soil and Water Science, Tropical Research and Education Center, University of Florida, 18905 SW 280th St, Homestead, FL 33031, USA.
The sequential weight loss-on-ignition (WLOI) method for determination of organic and carbonate or inorganic carbon (C) content was evaluated on sediments from diverse sources with a great range of C contents. The sediments were collected from canal, wetland, river, estuary, lake, and marine sites. The organic and inorganic C contents of these samples ranged from 1 to 430 g kg( -1) and from 4 to 97 g kg( -1), respectively.

Short-term enhancement of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) uptake by corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings from a contaminated soil was compared using slow-release coated EDTA granules-a coated chelating agent (CCA), uncoated EDTA granules, and EDTA solution in a greenhouse experiment. Soil Pb and Zn fractions were determined using a sequential extraction scheme.

A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of elemental sulphur (S) on solubility of soil Pb, Zn and Cd and uptake by maize (Zea mays L.). Two rates of elemental sulphur (S) applied at 0 (S0) and 200 (S200) mmol kg(-1) soil with three rates of each heavy metal at Pb, 0 (Pb0), 200 (Pb200), 400 (Pb400) mg kg(-1) soil, Zn, 0 (Zn0), 100 (Zn100), 200 (Zn200) mg kg(-1) soil and Cd, 0 (Cd0), 50 (Cd50), 100 (Cd100) mg kg(-1) soil, respectively.

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of elemental sulfur to contaminated soil on plant uptake by a heavy metal hyperaccumulator, Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) and a field crop, winter wheat (Triticum. aestivum). Elemental sulfur (S) with different rates was carried out, they were 0 (S0), 20 (S20), 40 (S40), 80 (S80), and 160 (S160) mmol/kg respectively.

Pot experiment on 3 crops (wheat, corn, oilseed rape) and a pasture (clover) under 5 levels (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 mg.kg-1) of sulfur (S) was carried out to study S application on yield production, S contents and their relationship of these crops. The results showed that under S application, the biomass of four plants increased by 5-32%, and the grain yield increased by 3-20%.
