Bimetallic AuPd supported on different carbonaceous materials and TiO2 was tested in the liquid phase oxidation of commercial grade and raw glycerol. The latter was directly obtained from the base-catalyzed transesterification of edible rapeseed oil using KOH. The best catalytic results were obtained using activated carbon and nitrogen-functionalized carbon nanofibers as supports. In fact, the ...

The results of studies on the influence tillage systems density structure dark gray podzolized soil under crops in a four-field short-rotation crop rotation (winter rape – winter wheat corn for grain spring barley) stationary field experiment Institute Agriculture Western Polissia National Academy Sciences Ukraine during 2016 are shown. 2020. In experiment, three were studied (shelf by 20–22 cm...

drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran during 2009-2010 growing season. the cultivars were arranged...

The effect of aqueous smoke extract, derived from Tanacetum parthenium, onin vitro plantlet regeneration from rapeseed (Brassica napus L. cv. Topas)microspore-derived embryos (MDEs) was evaluated in this study. Inoculation ofrapeseed MDEs with the smoke-extract dilutions (1:250, 1:500, 1:1000 and 1:2000)for various times (5, 10 and 15 min) significantly enhanced the percentage ofregenerated pla...

Convective activity occurs more commonly and frequently across the United States during the spring and summer (nominally, the period of May through September). While distribution of the activity has been examined both temporally (time of maximum activity and severity) and spatially (e.g., nationally as well as regional variations) to depict its characteristic time of occurrence and pattern, ver...

In European Robins, Erithacus rubecula, the magnetic compass is lateralized in favor of the right eye/left hemisphere of the brain. This lateralization develops during the first winter and initially shows a great plasticity. During the first spring migration, it can be temporarily removed by covering the right eye. In the present paper, we used the migratory orientation of robins to analyze the...

Title of Document: THE HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY PERFORMANCE OF THE SLIGO-DENNIS BIORETENTION CELL. Jennifer M. Olszewski, Master of Science, 2010 Directed By: Professor Allen P. Davis Civil and Environmental Engineering Bioretention cells have been found to improve the hydrologic and water quality performance of impervious areas such as parking lots. The current study recorded hydrologic da...

Lysophosphatidate (LPA) acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51) in the microsomes from palm endosperm (Syagrus cocoides Martius), maize scutellum (Zea mays L.), and rapeseed cotyledon (Brassica napus L.) of maturing seeds were studied for their specificities toward the acyl moiety of the substrates lysophosphatidate and acyl coenzyme A (CoA). The LPA acceptor greatly influenced the acyl CoA specificity o...
