Impact of Polyethylene-Glycol-Induced Water Potential on Methane Yield and Microbial Consortium Dynamics in the Anaerobic Degradation of Glucose [PDF]
BioengineeringThis study investigated the relationship between water potential (Ψ) and the cation-induced inhibition of methane production in anaerobic digesters. The Ψ around methanogens was manipulated using polyethylene glycol (PEG) in a batch anaerobic reactor ...

Optimisation of crop rotations: A case study for corn growing practices in forest-steppe of Ukraine [PDF]
Journal of Water and Land Development, 2023 The formation of optimal crop rotations is virtually unsolvable from the standpoint of the classical methodology of experimental research. Here, we deal with a mathematical model based on expert estimates of “predecessor-crop” pairs’ efficiency created ...

THE POTENTIAL OF WATER IN MAMMALIAN TISSUES [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1959 Melting point depression was used as an index of the water potential of rat tissues and serum. Organs removed from anesthetized rats were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground with mortar and pestle. Aliquots of the resulting frozen powder were suspended in chilled liquid silicone.
