Field performance of micropropagated rubus species
(Acta Scientiarum Polonorum, Hortorum Cultus, 2016)
The objective of this study was to test yield and fruit quality of the red raspberry 'Meeker' and the blackberry 'Cacanska Bestrna' propagated using the standard method (ST) and in vitro, by tissue culture (TC). The monitored ...
Titanium coated with high-performance nanocrystalline ruthenium oxide synthesized by the microwave-assisted sol-gel procedure
(Springer, New York, 2016)
Ruthenium oxide coating on titanium was prepared by the sol-gel procedure from well-defined colloidal oxide dispersions synthesized by the microwave (MW)-assisted hydrothermal route under defined temperature and pressure ...
Surface structural heterogeneity of high power plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2016)
The aim of this work was to examine the dependence of the local surface structure (surface structural heterogeneity) on the local thickness (thickness uniformity) and structure properties along the thickness of hydroxyapatite ...
Towards antimicrobial yet bioactive Cu-alginate hydrogels
(IOP Publishing Ltd, Bristol, 2016)
The simplest approach to enhance alginate hydrogel characteristics and functional properties is to replace the calcium in the process of alginate gelation with other metallic ions which are essential for living systems. ...
Removal of Anthraquinone Dye by Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates From Fresh Horseradish Extract
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
Horseradish roots (Armoracia rusticana) fresh extract was the source of unpurified horseradish peroxidase (HRP) which was used for the immobilization in a form of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). Among three ...
Application of cellulose acetate for controlled release of thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Cellulose acetate (CA) was investigated as a carrier towards development of material with controlled release of thymol as a natural substance with strong antibacterial properties using high pressure techniques. Effect of ...
Cyanuric chloride functionalized silica nanoparticles for covalent immobilization of lipase
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2016)
BACKGROUNDIn this work, fumed nano-silica (FNS) was chemically modified to amino (AFNS) and subsequently to cyanuric chloride (CCAFNS) modified silica and tested for the immobilization of lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL). ...
Lactic acid production on a combined distillery stillage and sugar beet molasses substrate
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
BACKGROUNDUtilization of wastes and industrial by-products for production of valuable bio-based chemicals has economic and environmental advantages. The aim of this study was to investigate utilization of two industrial ...
Photocatalytic Ability of Visible-Light-Responsive TiO2 Nanoparticles
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2016)
The synthetic procedures for preparation of free-standing and attached to polymer support surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with absorption extended into the visible spectral region due to charge transfer complex ...
Heavy Metals Fractionation in Agricultural Soils of Pb/Zn Mining Region and Their Transfer to Selected Vegetables
(Springer International Publishing Ag, Cham, 2016)
Improved understanding of the relationships between heavy metals fractionation in agricultural soils and biological uptake could be obtained by analysing samples of biota in parallel with sequential extraction of their ...
