The iron(III)-modified natural zeolitic tuff as an adsorbent and carrier for selenium oxyanions
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
Se(IV) and Se(VI) anions are the dominant species of Se existing in aqueous systems. In this study, the iron(III)-modified natural zeolitic tuff (Fe-CLI) from the Serbian deposit Zlatokop has been investigated as an adsorbent ...
The impact of storage on the primary and secondary metabolites, antioxidant activity and digestibility of oat grains (Avena sativa)
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The effect of storage was studied on grain metabolites, functional properties and digestibility of three oat cultivars selected in Serbia - Dunav, Vrbas and NS Tara. During the 12 and 24 months of storage, there was a ...
Weeds shift from generalist to specialist: narrowing of ecological niches along a north-south gradient
(Czech Botanical Soc, Praha 2, 2014)
There are changes in the realized niches of species along environmental gradients, especially at the edge of their distribution where they become more specialized. A classical case is weeds of the Caucalidion alliance that ...
Identification and validation of breeder-friendly DNA markers for Pl(arg) gene in sunflower
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
Downy mildew is a fungal disease of sunflower that can lead to severe yield losses. The damage caused by the pathogen can be controlled by growing resistant sunflower varieties. Gene Pl (arg) was introgressed into cultivated ...
Chitosan microbeads for encapsulation of thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) polyphenols
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this work chitosan microbeads were prepared by emulsion technique and loaded with thyme polyphenols by diffusion from an external aqueous solution of Thymus serpyllum L. The effects of concentrations of chitosan (1.5-3% ...
Landscape composition and configuration influence cereal aphid-parasitoid-hyperparasitoid interactions and biological control differentially across years
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
The loss of landscape heterogeneity through agricultural intensification is known to affect aphid-parasitoid-hyperparasitoid interactions, with consequences for biological control. Various aspects of landscape heterogeneity ...
Impact of energy saving cultivations on soil parameters in northern Kazakhstan
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Recently the cost of soil processing for agricultural production has been rapidly increasing because of expensiveness of agricultural machinery, energy, and agricultural chemicals. Intensive soil cultivation is costly and ...
Numerical simulation of "an American haboob"
(Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh, Gottingen, 2014)
A dust storm of fearful proportions hit Phoenix in the early evening hours of 5 July 2011. This storm, an American haboob, was predicted hours in advance because numerical, land-atmosphere modeling, computing power and ...
Grassland vegetation of the Molinio-Arrhenatheretea class in the NW Balkan Peninsula
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2014)
Questions: How does the floristic composition of plant species of meadows and mesic pastures vary along a broad geographical gradient in the NW Balkans? How does the current phytosociological classification of the ...
Mineral Elements, Lipoxygenase Activity, and Antioxidant Capacity of Okara as a Byproduct in Hydrothermal Processing of Soy Milk
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2014)
Minerals and antioxidative capacity of raw okara that was obtained as a byproduct from six soybean varieties during hydrothermal cooking (HTC) of soy milk were assessed. Lipoxygenase (Lox), an enzyme deteriorating the ...
