Fertilizer nitrogen: contribution to nitrate in surface water in a corn belt watershed.

Measurements of nitrate concentration and relative enrichment in nitrogen-15 were made on samples of the surface waters of a typical Illinois corn belt watershed and the effluent of the subterranean tiles that drain the cropped land in the region. From these measurements, we estimate that at the time of peak nitrate concentration in the spring of 1970 a minimum of 55 to 60 percent of the nitrogen found as nitrate in the surface waters of this watershed originated from fertilizer nitrogen

Electron spin resonance signals in injured nerve.

Under certain conditions nerves (such as the frog sciatic) exhibit electron spin resonance signals with several unusual properties: (i) variable g value and linewidth, (ii) anisotropic g tensor, and (iii) g value dependence on temperature. Such a signal must be due to a small ferromagnetic crystal formed when the nerve is subjected to pressure, such as that due to mechanical injury.
