Numerous factors affect the distribution of mangrove plants. Most mangrove species are typically dispersed by. water-buoyant propagules, allowing them to take advantage of estuarine, coastal and ocean currents both to replenish existing stands and to establish new ones. The direction they travel depends on sea currents and land barriers, but the dispersal distance depends on the time that propa...

We compared the conventional atomizing disc aeroponic technology with the latest ultrasonic nebulizer technology for the production of Glomus intraradices inocula. The piezo ceramic element technology used in the ultrasonic nebulizer employed high frequency sound that blasted the nutrient solution and nibulized it into micro-droplets size of 1μm in diameter. Growth of the pre-colonized AMF-root...

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex fluid that comprises phospholipids and four proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D) with different biological functions. SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D are essential for the lungs' surface tension function and for the organization, stability and metabolism of lung parenchyma. SP-A and SP-D, which are also known as pulmonary collectins, have an important function in the hos...

conclusions endocarditis is an important disease with a high mortality rate if not treated appropriately. therefore, these patients need more attention. in echocardiography, vegetation and complications of ie such as abscess and paravalvular leakage can be detected. results we studied 35 patients, 45% male and 55% female with a mean age of 56.36 ± 12.44 years. fever (80%) and chills (65.7%) wer...

Two types of Trichoderma longibrachiatum Tr58 propagules, conidia and chlamydospores, were added to soils with different moisture levels. The survival dynamics in determined. There are positive linear relationships between soil levels germination rates the two propagules. In natural non-sterilized soil, more than 95% 60% chlamydospores was inhibited, while a high content sterilization beneficia...

The mycorrhizal colonisation of plants grown in unmanaged soils from two restoration sites with a fire history in Northern Portugal was evaluated from the perspective of supporting restoration programmes. To promote restoration of original tree stands, Quercus ilex L. and Pinus pinaster Ait. were used as target species on two sites, denoted Site 1 and 2 respectively. The aim of the study was to...
