This paper examines the environmental awareness of staff members in a higher education institution through the use of social media and an environmental awareness campaign. The key question raised is whether the use of social media is an effective tool to run an environmental campaign to raise awareness and evaluate knowledge of the green initiatives that are happening with in the organisation a...

Control of anthracnose in green pepper involves the use of resistant varieties and/or fungicides. The selection of varieties and efficient products demands great amounts of conidia as inoculum. It is thus necessary to optimize the production of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides conidia in the laboratory, establishing the best conditions for fungus development. The present study aimed at determinin...

ophiopogon japonicus is a perennial, ornamental foliage plant, whichbelongs to the family liliaceae. it has a high demand in the local andinternational export market due to the presence of glossy white-green stripped lanceolate leaves. improved leaves and plants of o. japonicus will be more popular in the floriculture industry. hence, objective was to investigate the growth responses of o. japo...

The determination of members of the genus Salmonella present in small numbers in egg solids has always been somewhat uncertain. Among other things, the nature of the product tends to reduce the selectivity of the various media used for their detection. Also some of the enrichment media tend to inhibit the growth of certain types of Salmonella (Ayres, 1953; Banwart and Ayres, 1953; Hurlev and Ay...

Serial cultivation of cell lines derived from lung, testis, periorbital and tumor tissues of a green turtle (Chelonia mydas) with fibropapillomas resulted in the in vitro formation of tumor-like cell aggregates, ranging in size from 0.5 to 2.0 mm in diameter. Successful induction of tumor-like aggregates was achieved in a cell line derived from lung tissue of healthy green turtles, following in...

The responses of larval Aedes aegypti to media of pH 4, 7 and 11 provide evidence for pH regulatory strategies. Drinking rates in pH 4 media were elevated 3- to 5-fold above those observed in pH 7 or 11. Total body water was elevated during acute exposure to acidic media. During chronic exposure, total body water was decreased and Malpighian tubule mitochondrial luminosity, quantified using Mit...

The main hypothesis of the presented study is that the negative effect of phosphorus leaching from a green roof substrate can be reduced by including P-reactive material in a drainage layer. In this work, different aggregates (Pollytag, lightweight expanded clay aggregates, chalcedony, serpentynite and crushed autoclaved aerated concrete) to be used as the green roof drainage layer are describe...
