Low ascorbic acid in the vtc-1 mutant of arabidopsis is associated with decreased growth and intracellular redistribution of the antioxidant system
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, Cary, 2001)
Ascorbic acid has numerous and diverse roles in plant metabolism. We have used the vtc-1 mutant of Arabidopsis, which is deficient in ascorbate biosynthesis, to investigate the role of ascorbate concentration in growth, ...
Far infrared properties of PbTe doped with cerium
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2007)
Single crystal samples of lead telluride doped with cerium were made using the Bridgman method. Far infrared reflectivity spectra in the temperature range from 10 to 300K are presented. The experimental data were numerically ...
Linking oxidative and salinity stress tolerance in barley: can root antioxidant enzyme activity be used as a measure of stress tolerance?
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
A causal relationship between salinity and oxidative stress tolerance and a suitability of using root antioxidant activity as a biochemical marker for salinity tolerance in barley was investigated. Net ion fluxes were ...
Decalcification resistance of alkali-activated slag
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2012)
This paper analyses the effects of decalcification in concentrated 6 M NH4NO3 solution on mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated slag (AAS). Portland-slag cement (CEM II/A-S 42.5 N) was used as a ...
Interactions between (+)-Catechin and Quercetin during Their Oxidation by Nitrite under the Conditions Simulating the Stomach
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2014)
When foods that contain catechins and quercetin glycosides are ingested, quercetin glycosides are hydrolyzed to quercetin during mastication by hydrolytic enzymes derived from oral bacteria and the generated quercetin ...
Ultra-high breakdown field varistors prepared from individually synthesized nanoprecursors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Previously synthesized nanocrystalline ZnO doped with cobalt and manganese, Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 were the precursors for high voltage varistors preparation. Varistor ceramics were sintered at 750 degrees C, 770 degrees C or 900 ...
The impact of in vivo and in vitro exposure to base analogue 5-FU on the level of DNA damage in haemocytes of freshwater mussels Unio pictorum and Unio tumidus
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The impact of in vivo and in vitro exposure to anticancer drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) on the level of DNA damage was evaluated using comet assay on haemocytes of freshwater mussels Unio pictorum and Unio tumidus. For the ...
Influence of the indium concentration on microstructural and electrical properties of proton conducting NiO-BaCe0.9-xInxY0.1O3-delta cermet anodes for IT-SOFC application
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
Optimization of the major properties of anodes based on proton conductors, such as microstructure, conductivity and chemical stability, is yet to be achieved. In this study we investigated the influence of indium on the ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Pt Catalysts on SnO2 Based Supports for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
(Electrochemical Soc Inc, Pennington, 2013)
The oxygen reduction reaction was studied at Pt nanocatalysts on two different tin oxide based supports, Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, in acid solution. Tin oxide based supports were synthesized by hydrazine reduction method. ...
Enhancement in statistical and image analysis for in situ mu SXRF studies of elemental distribution and co-localization, using Dioscorea balcanica
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2013)
Synchrotron-based X-ray microfluorescence (mu SXRF) is an analytical method suitable for in situ investigation of the distribution of micronutrient and macronutrient elements in several-micrometres-thick unstained biological ...
