Soil Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Dynamics as Affected by Solarization Alone or Combined with Organic Amendment
2006
Soil solarization, alone or combined with organic amendment, is an increasingly attractive approach for managing soil-borne plant pathogens in agricultural soils. Even though it consists in a relatively mild heating treatment, the increased soil temperature may strongly affect soil microbial processes and nutrients dynamics. This study aimed to investigate the impact of solarization, either with or without addition of farmyard manure, in soil dynamics of various C, N and P pools. Changes in total C, N and P contents and in some functionally-related labile pools (soil microbial biomass C and N, K2SO4-extractable C and N, basal respiration, KCl-exchangeable ammonium and nitrate, and water-sol…

Abstract Optisch aktives Ethyl-phenyl-phosphinigsaurediethylamid 1 wird in racemische literaturbekannte Verbindungen uber-gefuhrt bei der Einwirkung von HCl, HBF4, Alkoholen, Thioalkoholen, Carbonsauren, Carbonsaureestern, Carbonsaureanhydriden, Carbonsaurehalogeniden, Verbindungen mit Pl und sekundaren Phosphinen. p-Kresol, Trifluoressigsaure-p-kresylester sowie Trifluoressigsaure-s,s,s-trifluorethylester setzen sich mit optisch aktivem Ethyl-phenyl-phosphinigsaure-diethylamid 1 unter Erhaltung der Konfiguration zu den entsprechenden optisch aktiven Ethyl-phenyl-phosphingsaureestern um. Optically active ethyl-phenyl-phosphinous acid diethylamide 1 was treated with HCl, HBF4, alcohols, thio…
Inorganic Nanoparticle as a Carrier for Hepatitis B Viral Capsids
2011
Virus like particles (VLP) are used to transport immune response-modulating agents to target cells to treat them. In order to deliver a high concentration of VLP to the cell, a number of VLP can be attached to a nanoparticle to be used as a nanolorry. In this study, SiO2 nanoparticles were attached to Hepatitis B VLP. Spectrophotometry measurements, electron, and fluorescent microscopy evidence showed that the SiO2 – Hepatitis B VLP complexes were formed.
Absolute optical chiral analysis using cavity-enhanced polarimetry
2021
Chiral analysis is central for scientific advancement in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine. It is also indispensable in the development and quality control of chiral compounds in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Current methods for chiral analysis, namely optical polarimetry, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, are either insensitive, have low time resolution, or require preparation steps, and so are unsuited for monitoring chiral dynamics within complex environments: the current need of both research and industry. Here we present the concept of absolute optical chiral analysis, as enabled by cavity-enhanced polarimetry, which allows for accurate unambi…
Effects of SO2 fumigations on photosynthetic CO2 gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence emission and antioxidant enzymes in the lichens Evernia pru…
1999
The effects of elevated gaseous SO2 concentrations in the lichens Evernia prunastri (L.) Ach. and Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. were investigated by means of gas exchange, modulated chlorophyll fluorescence analysis and antioxidant enzyme assays. The response to SO2 of the studied species differed markedly. Net photosynthetic rates were more adversely affected in E. prunastri than in R. farinacea. In addition, processes dependent on thylakoid membrane integrity such as PSII-mediated electron flow and nonphotochemical quenching were reduced to a greater extent by exposure to SO2 in E. prunastri. Moreover, the ability to reoxidize the quinone pool was lower in this species. Finally, the activi…
A battery of toxicity tests as indicators of decontamination in composting oily waste.
2000
Heterogeneous oily waste from an old dumping site was composted in three windrows constructed from different proportions of waste, sewage sludge, and bark. The objectives of this pilot study were to examine the usefulness of composting as a treatment method for this particular waste and to study decontamination in the composting process by using a battery of toxicity tests. Five samples from the windrow having intermediate oil concentrations were tested with toxicity tests based on microbes (Pseudomonas putida growth inhibition test, ToxiChromotest, MetPLATE, and three different modifications of a luminescent bacterial test), enzyme inhibition (reverse electron transport), plants (duckweed …
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A/AOF2/BHC110) is expressed and is an epigenetic drug target in chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, osteosarcoma…
2011
Summary Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (GeneID 23028), a flavin-dependent monoamine oxidoreductase and a histone demethylase, serves as an epigenetic coregulator of transcription. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 is up-regulated in neuroblastoma and in bladder, breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, and neuroendocrine cancers, and its overexpression drives the cell cycle of otherwise nontransformed human cells, suggesting oncogenic properties. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 was recently reported to be also overexpressed in several different mesenchymal tumors. We investigated lysine-specific demethylase 1 expression in over 500 sarcomas by gene expression profiling and tissue microarray-coupled immu…
Perception of non-processed semi-hard cheese aroma
2012
Perception of the aroma of food products depends on several factors, involving both the. chemical composition of food and human neurophysiology. The perception of food flavour,. including cheese often relies on the perception of several aroma compounds in mixture in. balanced proportions. The existence of perceptual interactions among aroma compounds in. mixtures and also the release of aroma compounds from the food product are the main factors. that influence the global perceived aroma of food. Hence, the objective of this PhD study was. to investigate the mixture of aroma compounds representing the aroma of semi-hard cheese by. taking into account perceptual interactions among odorants an…
A complementary mobile phase approach based on the peak count concept oriented to the full resolution of complex mixtures
2011
Situations of minimal resolution are often found in liquid chromatography, when samples that contain a large number of compounds, or highly similar in terms of structure and/or polarity, are analysed. This makes full resolution with a single separation condition (e.g., mobile phase, gradient or column) unfeasible. In this work, the optimisation of the resolution of such samples in reversed-phase liquid chromatography is approached using two or more isocratic mobile phases with a complementary resolution behaviour (complementary mobile phases, CMPs). Each mobile phase is dedicated to the separation of a group of compounds. The CMPs are selected in such a way that, when the separation is cons…
Use of sonication for measuring acid phosphatase activity in soil
2000
Extracellular enzymes in soil often occur in immobilised forms, a state that may alter their interactions with substrates in comparison with enzymes in the solution phase. Sonication was evaluated for its usefulness in studying immobilised acid phosphatase by dispersing soil aggregates. Factors affecting soil dispersion during ultrasound application were soil extraction ratio, total applied energy and power output ml−1 of sonicated soil slurry. For the clay loam soil used, optimal values for these variables were, respectively, 1:6 (w/v) and, at least, 1800 J ml−1 and 15 W ml−1. At the optimal sonication conditions for soil dispersion a substantial increase in phosphatase activity (up to 156…
