But, of course, Leibniz is equally concerned to avoid the necessitarianism represented by Spinoza and the “the sect of new Stoics” 2 , and to this end he argues for the...

Assessment of interspecific and intrapopulational polymorphism at Bison bonasus specie

Report: antibiotic production by thermophilic Bacillus specie SAT-4.

Production of antimicrobial compounds seems to be a general phenomenon for most bacteria. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among key microbial pathogens is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Current solutions involve development of a more rationale approach to antibiotic use and discover of new antimicrobials. Bacillus species produce a large number of biological compounds acti...

Foliar tern erature-respiration response functions for bl’oad-leaved a tree specie in the southern Appalachians

We n&asured leaf respiration in 18 eastern deciduous forest tree species to determine if there were differences in tempera i m-respiration response functions among species or among c opy positions. Leaf respiration rates were measured in situ an4 on detached branches fordcerpensylvanicum L., A. rubrum i., Betula spp. (B. alleghaniensis Britt. and B. renta L.), Caryq glabra (Mill.)
