Glomalin released from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has important roles in soil nutrient cycles, whereas contributing to glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) fractions to soil nitrogen (N) is unknown. In this study, ...

Nosocomial infections, which greatly increase morbidity among hospitalized patients, together with growing antibiotic resistance still encourage many researchers to search for novel antimicrobial compounds. Picolinium salts ...

Around thirty species of European solitary bee species in the family Megachilidae nest in empty gastropod shells. We surveyed this group of bees in semi-natural sites adjacent to almond orchards near Lleida (north-eastern ...

Circadian clock is usually involved in many physiological processes of plants, including responses to abiotic stress, whilst pseudo-response regulator 7 (PRR7) gene is the main component of the circadian clock. In this ...

Owing to their high surface area, stability, and functional groups on the surface, iron oxide hydroxide nanoparticles have attracted attention as enzymatic support. In this work, a chemometric approach was performed, aiming ...

There are numerous studies supporting the contribution of oxidative stress to the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Prolonged oxidative stress is associated with the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette transporters, which results ...

Singular values are used to construct physically admissible 3-dimensional mixing matrices characterized as contractions. Depending on the number of singular values strictly less than one, the space of the 3-dimensional ...

This October, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2019 was jointly awarded to William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe, and Gregg L Semenza for their discoveries of "how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability." ...

Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the sequence of the Fibonacci numbers. The order (or rank) of appearance $z(n)$ of a positive integer $n$ is defined as the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $n$ divides $F_m$. In 1975, Sall\' ...

The study deals with educational robotic kits and its influence on the pupils' key competency development during the educational process. The paper further focuses on the problem-solving competency of the pupils in ...
