Ecological and agronomic importance of the plant genus Lotus. Its application in grassland sustainability and the amelioration of constrained and con…
2010
The genus Lotus comprises around 100 annual and perennial species with worldwide distribution. The relevance of Lotus japonicus as a model plant has been recently demonstrated in numerous studies. In addition, some of the Lotus species show a great potential for adaptation to a number of abiotic stresses. Therefore, they are relevant components of grassland ecosystems in environmentally constrained areas of several South American countries and Australia, where they are used for livestock production. Also, the fact that the roots of these species form rhizobial and mycorrhizal associations makes the annual L. japonicus a suitable model plant for legumes, particularly in studies directed to r…
The Influence of the Lotus Flower Theme on the Perception of Contemporary Urban Architecture
2021
We live in the visual culture times, when images continuously and daily are transferring some information. A visual message is also an indispensable element of architecture, in the semantic layer as an aesthetic value, sometimes fulfilling a narrative function by means of a symbol, which is an international visual code. Most of the symbols, hidden in painting, sculpture, or architecture, are elements of nature. The article discusses examples of architecture whose form is based on a lotus flower. Unification of urban landscapes leads to a decrease in the value of aesthetic impressions; therefore, the unique architecture builds the unique identity of the place.
Polish Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis L.) Honey, Chromatographic Fingerprints, and Chemical Markers
2017
A case study of Polish Melilotus officinalis honey was presented for the first time. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (after steam distillation, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic solvent extraction, and solid phase extraction (SPE)) and targeted high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector (HPLC-PAD) were applied to determine the characteristic components of honey. While ubiquitous in most honeys, carbohydrates, terpene derivatives, and phenylacetic acid dominated in the Soxhlet extracts (25.54%) and in the application of SPE (13.04%). In addition, lumichrome (1.85%) was found, and may be considered as a marker of this honey. Due to the presence of these …
The proanthocyanidin content as a tool to differentiate between Lotus tenuis and L. corniculatus individuals
2012
Abstract Lotus tenuis Wald et Kit and Lotus corniculatus L. are conspicuous elements of the agricultural landscape for cattle production. In South America, commercial L. tenuis stocks usually present contaminations with L. corniculatus, what brings about an important economical injure to the forage producers. A way to reduce or avoid loses is to assess the purity degree of L. tenuis seed lots before seeding. Methods so far described for the diagnosis of Lotus species when flowers are not available are lengthy, time consuming, need the implementation of sophisticated laboratories and are relatively expensive. It has been shown that Lotus species accumulate variable proanthocyanidins amounts,…
Amplification, contraction and genomic spread of a satellite DNA family (E180) in Medicago (Fabaceae) and allied genera
2011
†Background and Aims Satellite DNA is a genomic component present in virtually all eukaryotic organisms. The turnover of highly repetitive satellite DNA is an important element in genome organization and evolution in plants. Here we assess the presence and physical distribution of the repetitive DNA E180 family in Medicago and allied genera. Our goals were to gain insight into the karyotype evolution of Medicago using satellite DNA markers, and to evaluate the taxonomic and phylogenetic signal of a satellite DNA family in a genus hypothesized to have a complex evolutionary history. †Methods Seventy accessions from Medicago, Trigonella, Melilotus and Trifolium were analysed by PCR to assess …
Skrituļslidu komplektēšanas sistēma
2017
Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis ir izstrādāt neatkarīgu sistēmu, ar kuras palīdzību tās lietotājam tiek nodrošināts veids, kā dot informāciju par preču sortimentu skrituļslidu veikalā un iespēju pašam lietotājam nokomplektēt skrituļslidas, balstoties uz detaļu specifikāciju, savienojamību un lietotāja vēlmēm. Sistēma ir paredzēta skrituļslidu veikala apmeklētājiem un darbiniekiem, padarot ērtāku iepirkšanos un atvieglojot veikala darbinieku darbu.

Microsoft Word formāta pārskatu veidošana Lotus Notes lietotnei
2015
Lotus Notes lietotnē, kas paredzēta organizācijā reģistrēto projektu koordinēšanai, dati tiek eksportēti uz Microsoft Word dokumentiem. Eksportēti tiek arī dati no bagātinātā teksta laukiem, kuros var saglabāt formatētu tekstu, kā arī tabulas. Šobrīd lietotnē ir iespējams veidot Microsoft Word formāta pārskatus, taču šī funkcionalitāte strādā tikai datoriem, kuriem ir Windows operētājsistēma. Macintosh un Linux operētājsistēmu lietotājiem šī funkcionalitāte nestrādā. Darba mērķis ir izstrādāt analogu funkcionalitāti esošajai, kas darbosies arī citās operētājsistēmās, ne tikai Windows vidē. Lai to izdarītu, jāizpēta iespējamās alternatīvas un jāizvēlas piemērotākā no tām. Darba rezultātā ir …
