Comparative analysis of phenolic profiles of ovipositional fluid of Rhinusa pilosa (Mecinini, Curculionidae) and its host plant Linaria vulgaris (Plantaginaceae)
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2016)
Rhinusa pilosa (Gyllenhal) is a highly specific weevil that induces stem galls on the common toadflax Linaria vulgaris Mill. females oviposit the eggs near the apex of a growing shoot. The act of oviposition is accompanied ...
Behavioural and physiological plasticity of gypsy moth larvae to host plant switching
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
Larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), a generalist species, frequently encounter spatial and temporal variations in diet quality. Such variation favoured the evolution of high behavioural ...
Physiological basis of differential zinc and copper tolerance of Verbascum populations from metal-contaminated and uncontaminated areas
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2016)
Metal contamination represents a strong selective pressure favoring tolerant genotypes and leading to differentiation between plant populations. We investigated the adaptive capacity of early-colonizer species of Verbascum ...
Antioxidative Activity of Colostrum and Human Milk: Effects of Pasteurization and Storage
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2016)
Objectives: Milk banks collect, pasteurize, and freeze/store human milk. The processing may alter redox properties of milk, but the effects have not been fully examined. Methods: We collected 10 mature milk and 10 colostrum ...
Correlation between microstructure and electrical properties of ferroelectric relaxors
(Wiley, 2016)
Relaxor ferroelectrics or relaxors are a class of disordered crystals possessing a peculiar structure and properties. Relaxor ferroelectrics are found in many applications in electronics such as multilayer ceramic capacitors, ...
Avarol derivatives as competitive AChE inhibitors, non hepatotoxic and neuroprotective agents for Alzheimer's disease
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2016)
Avarol is a marine sesquiterpenoid hydroquinone, previously isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea avara Schmidt (Dictyoceratida), with antiinflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant, antiplatelet, anti-HIV, and antipsoriatic ...
Evaluation of procedures for assessing anti- and pro-oxidants in plant samples
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2016)
Plants as well as other aerobic organisms constantly produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). At regulated low concentrations ROS may serve as signal molecules, while in excessive amounts these may cause oxidative damage to ...
What if cell culture media do not mimic in vivo redox settings?
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2016)
Here, I address the topic of suitability for redox research of common settings in cell cultures. This is done through the prism of in vitro anticancer effects of vitamin C. Cell culture media show lower concentrations of ...
A Voronoi-diagram analysis of the microstructures in bulk-molding compounds and its correlation with the mechanical properties
(Budapest Univ Technol & Econ, Budapest, 2016)
Voronoi analysis is implemented to assess the influence of fiber content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk-molding compounds containing different weight fractions of E-glass fibers (EGF) (5-20 wt%). ...
Photo-redox reactions of indole and ferric iron in water
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2016)
Iron-organic interactions are involved in a variety of environmental phenomena, including photo-redox reactions, iron cycling and bioavailability, as well as contaminant fate. In this study we examined UV-induced redox ...
