Red-Light Transmittance Changes in Variegated Pelargonium zonale—Diurnal Variation in Chloroplast Movement and Photosystem II Efficiency
(MDPI, 2023)
Chloroplast movement rapidly ameliorates the effects of suboptimal light intensity by accumulating along the periclinal cell walls, as well as the effects of excess light by shifting to the anticlinal cell walls. These ...
Using Front-Face Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Biochemical Analysis of Honey to Assess a Marker for the Level of Varroa destructor Infestation of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Colonies
(MDPI, 2023)
Varroa destructor is a parasitic mite responsible for the loss of honey bee (Apis mellifera)
colonies. This study aimed to find a promising marker in honey for the bee colony infestation level
using fluorescence spectroscopy ...
Humidity and Temperature Sensing of Mixed Nickel–Magnesium Spinel Ferrites
(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2023)
Temperature- and humidity-sensing properties were evaluated of NixMg1-x spinel ferrites (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method using citric acid as fuel and nitrate ions as oxidizing agents. After the ...
Sugars and Organic Acids in 25 Strawberry Cultivars: Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation
(MDPI, 2023)
(1) The nutritional quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) fruits, among others, is largely maintained by the presence of soluble sugars and organic acids. As the primary products of photosynthesis, they are ...
Phenolics and Sesquiterpene Lactones Profile of Red and Green Lettuce: Combined Effect of Cultivar, Microbiological Fertiliser, and Season
(MDPI, 2023)
The main goal of our study was to find an optimal combination of tested factors to achieve lettuce rich in bioactive compounds sustaining its pleasant taste. We examined three red and three green cultivars in a greenhouse ...
Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level
(RSC, 2023)
Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist
attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of
current sensing ...
Therapeutic potential of low-molecular weight lignin model polymer fractions for treating skin lesions in animals: a pilot study
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Bacterial infections and resistance to antibiotics are increasingly severe problems. In recent years, Staphylococcus species
have emerged as important pathogens in animals and humans. Current therapeutic methods against ...
Hydrothermally synthesized CeO2/ZnO nanocomposite photocatalysts for the enhanced degradation of Reactive Orange 16 dye
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
In this work, in order to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO, the optimal CeO2 content in ZnO powders was determined by varying the quantity of CeO2 from 0 to 10 mol%. The structural, microstructural, optical, ...
Changes to fish assemblage following the selective removal of black bullhead (Ameiurus melas)
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2023)
1. Black bullhead is among the most abundant and successful non-native fish species in European freshwaters. A number of studies have indicated that its physical removal could be a potential solution to minimize possible ...
Two-way reaction of versatile peroxidase with artificial lignin enhances low-molecular weight fractions
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)
In recent years, versatile peroxidase (VP) has emerged as a promising enzyme for biotechnological applications, as it can oxidize lignin without the external mediators. To gain insights into the breakdown process of ...
