Identification and first insights into the structure of chitin from the endemic freshwater demosponge Ochridaspongia rotunda (Arndt, 1937)
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Studies on the identification, properties and function of chitin in sponges (Porifera), which are recognized as the first multicellular organisms on Earth, continue to be of fundamental scientific interest. The occurrence ...
Immobilization of cesium with alkali-activated blast furnace slag
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Alkali-activated binders (AABs), as a promising alternative to Portland cement, are now being used on a commercial scale in various applications around the world, including hazardous and radioactive waste immobilization. ...
When a Palearctic bacterium meets a Nearctic insect vector: Genetic and ecological insights into the emergence of the grapevine Flavescence doree epidemics in Europe
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2020)
Author summary Since the first outbreaks, Flavescence doree epidemics had been associated to the introduction of the North American leafhopper vector Scaphoideus titanus. We hereby show that the associated phytoplasma ...
Interactions of Silicon With Essential and Beneficial Elements in Plants
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
Silicon (Si) is not classified as an essential element for plants, but numerous studies have demonstrated its beneficial effects in a variety of species and environmental conditions, including low nutrient availability. ...
Chitosan and pectin-based films and coatings with active components for application in antimicrobial food packaging
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
This investigation was aimed to develop films and coatings based on natural biopolymers and active components, with physicochemical and functional properties for application in antimicrobial packaging. Biopolymer films ...
Physical and mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced alkali-activated fly ash and fly ash/slag mortars
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Two alkali-activated mortars with different solid prime materials were analysed. The first mortar contained fly ash, had lower density, higher water absorption, lower compactness, lower compressive strength, similar flexural ...
Influence of silicon on polymerization process during lignin synthesis. Implications for cell wall properties
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Silicon (Si) is considered a beneficial element for plants, mostly accumulating in cell walls, where its location and content are primed by the chemistry and structure of lignin. It is unrevealed how Si interacts with the ...
Risk assessment of using fish from different types of reservoirs as human food - A study on European perch (Perca fluviatilis)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn in sediment samples and muscle tissue of the European perch were analyzed using inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), with the aim to assess ...
Evaluation of stability and functionality of BaCe1-xInxO3-delta electrolyte in a wider range of indium concentration
(Springer, New York, 2022)
The properties of BaCe1-xInxO3-delta (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40) as proton conducting electrolyte are examined. The dense electrolyte is formed after sintering at 1300 degrees C for 5 h in air. ...
Silicon modifies leaf nutriome and improves growth of oak seedlings exposed to phosphorus deficiency and Phytophthora plurivora infection
(Frontiers, 2023)
Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress. Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation ...
