Are leaf hydrogen peroxide concentrations commonly overestimated? The potential influence of artefactual interference by tissue phenolics and ascorbate
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2002)
We have examined the authenticity of two methods for determination of H2O2 in leaf tissue. We show that the high concentrations of ascorbic acid present in leaf extracts interfere with both techniques. In the chromogenic ...
Estimation of neuronal population activity changes in rat cerebellum using one electrode
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2004)
Activity of neuronal populations is usually measured with multielectrode systems. In this paper a procedure is described for estimating population activity changes in rat cerebellar cortex, using one microelectrode. Signals ...
Influence of the common varistor dopants (CoO, Cr2O3 and Nb2O5) on the structural properties of SnO2 ceramics
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2004)
The influence of dopants commonly used in SnO2 varistor ceramics, such as CoO, Cr2O3 or Nb2O5, on the structural properties of SnO2 was investigated. Several SnO2-based ceramics containing only one of the dopants were ...
Photopic vision in eels - Evidences of color discrimination
(New York Acad Sciences, New York, 2005)
Several classes of second-order retinal neurons have been studied electrophysiologically in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) from two different localities, Lake Seliger in Russia and the coastal waters of the Adriatic Sea ...
Improved total conductivity of nanometric samaria-doped ceria powders sintered with molten LiNO3 additive
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
Nanometric 20% molar Sm-doped ceria (SDC20) powders were synthesized by co-precipitation in the presence of N, N, N', N' tetramethylethylendiamine (TMEDA). SDC20 powders were sintered using lithium nitrate salt in various ...
Morphology investigation of mechanically activated ZnO-SnO2 system
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2008)
Powder mixtures of zinc oxide and tin oxide in the molar ratio, ZnO:SnO2 = 2: 1, were mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill in the time intervals of 0-160 min. The adsorption-desorption isotherms, specific surface ...
A wet-chemical route for the preparation of Ni-BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-delta cermet anodes for IT-SOFCs
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
Nano-sized BaCe0.9Y0.1O3 - delta (BCY10) protonic conductor powders were used to prepare Ni-BCY10 cermets for anode-supported intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. A new wet-chemical route was developed starting ...
Peroxidase activity and phenolic compounds content in maize root and leaf apoplast, and their association with growth
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2008)
Apoplastic fluid originated from maize (Zea mays L) leaf and root growing and non-growing regions were analyzed for peroxidase (POD) activities and phenols content. The samples were obtained by two different methods, as ...
Characterization of electrodeposited Cd-Co alloy coatings by anodic linear sweep voltammetry
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The electrodeposited Cd-Co alloys were characterized by the anodic linear sweep voltammetry (ALSV) technique in the solution of 1 M NaCl (pH 2). It is shown that Cd-Co alloys could be deposited with high current efficiency ...
Effect of chemisorbed carbon monoxide on Pt/C electrode on the mechanism of the hydrogen oxidation reaction
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The influence of poisoning of Pt catalyst by CO on the kinetics and mechanism of H-2 oxidation reaction (HOR) at Pt/C electrode in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4, saturated with H-2 containing 100 ppm CO, was examined with rotating ...
