Analysis of different selenium levels influence on leaf area index (LAI), hectare yield and selenium content in potato tubers

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008
In this work are described results of field trials in years 2006 and 2007. In these small plot trials we observed an influence of different selenium levels (control; 12, 24, 48 and 72 kg Se . ha−1 to the soil; 200 and 400 g Se .

Effect of Humisol on survival and growth of nursery grafted walnut (Juglans regia L.) plants

open access: yesHorticultural Science, 2013
The effect of Humisol organic fertiliser (150 g humic acid/l + 20 g/l mineral nutrients) on plant survival and growth of five walnut cultivars grown over a period of two years in the nursery were evaluated. Walnut plants treated with Humisol at the total

COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT FOR REINFORCED SOIL APPLICATIONS

open access: yesSOILS AND FOUNDATIONS, 2003
Composite reinforcements achieve the desired performance with a synergetic action from two components. In this paper, development of a composite reinforcement system, made of high tensile steel wire, encased in a cement mortar as a viable system for soil reinforcement applications is proposed.

SOIL pH MEASUREMENT AND ITS APPLICATION TO ORGANIC SOILS [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Soil Science, 1977
The average soil pH of 10 organic soils was significantly influenced by drying and the salt concentration of the suspending media. Accordingly, mean soil pH of field-moist and oven-dried soils was pH 5.0 and 4.5, 4.1 and 3.9, and 3.8 and 3.6 for soils suspended in water, 0.015 M CaCl2 and 1 M KCl.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...
