The happiest teacher should have married ‘three wives’, namely: teaching, research and social service. I did so for the sake of mangroves: sites of ecological wonder and scenic splendor. Boat rides through the sun-dappled waterways in the mangrove forests attracted me. The breath-taking beauty of the coastal forest, with its arching roots, breathing roots, salt-vomiting leaves and ‘mud dancing’...

Remote sensing has detected recent trends of increased vegetation productivity on the Bathurst caribou herd’s range. The cause this spectral greening is unknown but hypothesized to be result a change in composition, establishment, structure, and/or growth erect deciduous shrubs. We combined field investigation and dendroecology compare shrubs between areas where (Greening sites) remained stable...

Climate adaptation, mitigation, and protecting strategies are becoming even more important as climate change is intensifying. The impacts of especially tangible in dense urban areas due to the inherent characteristics structure materiality. To assess densification on potential adaptation a densely populated Viennese district was modeled typical sample area for city Vienna. case study analyzed l...

Mitochondrial citrate synthase was purified from leaves of Pisum sativum L. cv Progress 9. A three step purification was employed using ATP-Sepharose affinity chromatography which resulted in a 600-fold enrichment. Enzyme activity was assayed spectrophotometrically during greening of etiolated leaves under constant white light illumination. An increase (1.4 fold) in citrate synthase activity wa...
