First-principles simulations of the initial phase of self-aggregation of a cyanine dye: structure and optical spectra [PDF]
, 2014 Using first-principles simulations, we investigated the initial steps of the self-aggregation of the dye pseudoisocyanine (PIC) in water. First, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the self-aggregation process, in which pile-of-coins ...

Site-Specific Conditions Change the Response of Bacterial Producers of Soil Structure-Stabilizing Agents Such as Exopolysaccarides and Lipopolysaccarides to Tillage Intensity [PDF]
, 2020 Agro-ecosystems experience huge losses of land every year due to soil erosion induced by poor agricultural practices such as intensive tillage. Erosion can be minimized by the presence of stable soil aggregates, the formation of which can be promoted by ...

Carbon sequestration and its dynamics in water-stable aggregates
Agriculture (Pol'nohospodárstvo), 2014 Abstract Sequestration of organic carbon in soils is an effective strategy to mitigate global climate change. Carbon sequestration leads to an increase in carbon stocks in soil, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving soil quality and crop production.

The Impact of Mining Waste and Biogas Digestate Addition on the Durability of Soil Aggregates
Agriculture, 2023 Waste management is one of the greatest contemporary challenges as the world strives for sustainable development. We set out to investigate the impact of mining waste (carboniferous rock) and organic waste (biogas digestate) on the physical properties of

A peptide topological template for the dispersion of [60]fullerene in water [PDF]
, 2015 Solubilization of [60]fullerene in water is a major challenge for biological and medical applications. To this purpose in this communication we describe for the first time a new dispersing system based on a peptide topological template.

Enzymatic activity of air-dried and water-stable aggregates of soils under different land use
Бюллетень Почвенного института им. В.В. Докучаева, 2016 Under study were the levels of enzymatic (peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase and catalase) activity in air-dry structural particles 1-2 mm thick and water- stable aggregates extracted from the samples of soddy-podzolic soils (under forest and in crop) and ...
