Plant-eriophyoid mite interactions: specific and unspecific morphological alterations. Part II
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2010)
The paper presents recent advances related to both specific and unspecific morphological alterations of plant organs caused by eriophyoid mites. Based on old and new case studies, the diversity of plant malformations, such ...
The Effects of the pH Value of the Swelling Medium on the Kinetics of the Swelling of a Poly(acrylic acid) Hydrogel
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, Hoboken, 2010)
The isothermal kinetics curves of the swelling of a poly(acrylic acid) hydrogel in buffer solutions of different pH values (5, 7, and 9) at temperatures ranging from 30 to 40 degrees C were determined. The possibilities ...
Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) Attacking Aphids Feeding on Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae Crops in Southeastern Europe: Aphidiine-Aphid-Plant Associations and Key
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, Cary, 2010)
Original information oil aphidiine braconids attacking aphids feeding on Solanaceae (i.e., Capsicum annuum L., Lycium europaeum, L., Lycopersicon esculentum Miller, Solanum spp.) and Cucurbitaceae (i.e., Citrullus vulgaris ...
Pruning effect on content of quercetin and catechin in berry skins of cv. Blaufrankisch (Vitis vinifera L.)
(Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2010)
The effect of pruning severity on quercetin and catechin content in berry skins of cv. Blaufrankisch (Vitis vinifera L.) was studied over 3 years. Different crop levels and canopy structures were obtained by retaining 8, ...
Comparison of tillage systems according to fuel consumption
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
Nowadays, tractor is still the basic power unit in almost all production processes in agriculture, including tillage. The structure of tractor-machinery systems depends on many parameters: seeding system, soil conditions, ...
Contemporary strategies in combating microbial contamination in food chain
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
The objective of this review has been to disclose collected information on benefits and risks of selected "less-than - sterilizing" processes applied to control microbial hazards in food that was meticulously collected and ...
Ganoderma lucidum - Medical mushroom as a raw material for beer with enhanced functional properties
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Genoderma lucidum among all other cultivated mushrooms is unique for its medicinal, rather than nutritional value. A woody mushroom for centuries highly regarded in oriental folk medicine in recent years came in to focus ...
Pulsed UV light as an intervention strategy against Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 on the surface of a meat slicing knife
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
The main objective of this work was to explore the applicability of the Intense Light Pulses (ILP) for decontamination of a stainless steel meat contact surface, exemplified by a slicing knife, as a function of time between ...
Identification and spectra-structure determination of soil minerals: Raman study supported by IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Raman and IR spectroscopy were used for the characterization of several minerals in morphologically similar vertisol sequences from Kizevak (Serbia). It helped us to establish the surface layer transition going from calcic ...
The investigation of phenol removal from aqueous solutions by zeolites as solid adsorbents
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
This work reports results on phenol adsorption from aqueous solutions on synthetic BEA (beta) and MFI (ZSM-5) zeolites, studied by heat-flow microcalorimetry. For the sake of comparison, the adsorption was performed on ...
