POLLEN ANALYSIS OF TERRESTRIAL SOILS

Terrestrial atmospheric nitrogen in lunar soils?

Surface-correlated N in lunar soils and breccias exhibits an obvious but mysterious effect that was evident essentially from the first analyses of samples returned by the Apollo missions: The isotopic ratio N/N is variable, by up to 30%. For some time this was interpreted in terms of variation in the solar wind isotopic composition, perhaps reflecting solar nuclear processes and perhaps even re...

Toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene to terrestrial plants in natural soils.

The presence of energetic materials (used as explosives and propellants) at contaminated sites is a growing international issue, particularly with respect to military base closures and demilitarization policies. Improved understanding of the ecotoxicological effects of these materials is needed in order to accurately assess the potential exposure risks and impacts on the environment and its eco...

Pollen Stoichiometry May Influence Detrital Terrestrial and Aquatic Food Webs

Pollen rains may temporally mitigate nutritional limitations experienced by terrestrial and aquatic detritivores by supplying stoichiometrically balanced food during periods of detritivore growth and development (spring-summer). This may affect the functioning of food webs and thus influence fundamental processes, e.g., by enabling fungi to decompose nutritionally scarce litter. Nutritional lim...

Terrestrial Bacteria from Agricultural Soils: Versatile Weapons against Aflatoxigenic Fungi

woman-defined identity: analysis of selected poems of adrienne rich

the current thesis is composed in five chapters in the following fashion: chapter two encompasses the applied framework of the project in details; the methodology of carl gustav jung to explain the process of individuation, the major archetypes and their attributes and his techniques to assess the mind’s strata are all explained. moreover, the austrian psychoanalysts, heinz kohut’s models of a...
