Overview of undesirable effects of using diatomaceous earths for direct mixing with grains [PDF]
Despite numerous advantages of diatomaceous earth (DE), its use for direct mixing with grains to control stored-product insects remains limited because of some very serious obstacles and disadvantages. The main obstacles preventing a wider use of DEs for

sp. nov. – a new diatom (Bacillariophyceae) from the Swiss Alps
This paper describes a new diatom species (Orthoseira helvetica sp. nov.) found in the Swiss Alps at an elevation over 2600 m a.s.l. The diatom was recorded at the Macun plateau, Swiss National Park, from samples of terrestrial and wet semi-terrestrial ...

Characterization of a trimeric light-harvesting complex in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum built of FcpA and FcpE proteins [PDF]
Fucoxanthin chlorophyll proteins (Fcps), the light-harvesting antennas of heterokont algae, are encoded by a multigene family and are highly similar with respect to their molecular masses as well as to their pigmentation, making it difficult to purify ...
