Phosphorus (P) cycling in paddy soil is closely related to iron (Fe) redox wheel; its availability to rice has thus generally been ascribed to Fe minerals reductive dissolution. However, the literature aimed to identify the best method for predicting rice available P does not uniformly point to Fe reductants. Rice plants can indeed solubilize and absorb P through many strategies as a function of P supply, modifying the chemica...

End-of-life care training has gaps in helping students to develop attitudes toward caring for the dying. Valid and reliable assessment tools are essential in building effective educational programmes. The Frommelt Attitude Toward the Care Of the Dying scale (FATCOD-B) is widely used to measure the level of comfort/discomfort in caring for the dying and to test the effectiveness of end-of-life care training. However, its psycho...
