(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
Sandy everlasting [Helichrysum arenarium (L.) Moench] is herbaceous perennial plant belonging to Asteraceae family and it is native to Europe, Central Asia, and China. It belongs to the section HELICHRYSUM (Asteraceae ...
Structural investigation of mechanically activated ZnO powder
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
Commercially available ZnO powder was mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill. In order to investigate the specific surface area, pore volume and microstructure of non-activated and mechanically activated ZnO powders ...
Profiling of aerosol microphysical properties at several EARLINET/AERONET sites during the July 2012 ChArMEx/EMEP campaign
(Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh, Gottingen, 2016)
The simultaneous analysis of aerosol microphysical properties profiles at different European stations is made in the framework of the ChArMEx/EMEP 2012 field campaign (9-11 July 2012). During and in support of this campaign, ...
Whole-genome sequencing of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds allows the detection of signatures of selection for adaptation of genetic resources to different breeding and production systems
(Bmc, London, 2020)
BACKGROUND: Natural and artificial directional selection in cosmopolitan and autochthonous pig breeds and wild boars have shaped their genomes and resulted in a reservoir of animal genetic diversity. Signatures of selection ...
Water safety plan enhancements with improved drinking water quality detection techniques
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Drinking water quality has been regulated in most European countries for nearly two decades by the drinking water directive 98/83/EC. The directive is now under revision with the goal of meeting stricter demands for safe ...
Species-dependent changes in stomatal sensitivity to abscisic acid mediated by external pH
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2006)
The direct effects of pH changes and/or abscisic acid (ABA) on stomatal aperture were examined in epidermal strips of Commelina communis L. and Arabidopsis thaliana. Stomata were initially opened at pH 7 or pH 5. The ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
Natural Antioxidants from Seeds and Their Application in Meat Products
(MDPI, BASEL, 2020)
The use of synthetic antioxidants in the food industry has raised important questions about the effects of prolonged consumption on human health. On top of that, the consumption of meat products has been changing due to ...
Effects of mechanical-activation and TiO2 addition on the behavior of two-step sintered steatite ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Steatite, as ceramic with composition predominantly resting on magnesium silicate, was produced from economic resources - talc, aluminosilicate clays, and either BaCO3 or feldspar as flux. Titanium dioxide was a doping ...
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 ...
