the cornelian cherry is one of those less common but, nevertheless, interesting fruit species found in serbia which can be used both for food and medicine. due to a great importance of cornelian cherry fruits as safe food and a wide interest in growing this fruit species, this research was focused on examining the production technique of quality planting material of particularly large-fruit sel...

UV-induced grafting technique was used as a flexible method for surface modification of Polysulfone (PSf) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes in order to prepare hydrophilic nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Flat sheet Polysulfone (PSf) ultrafiltration membranes were prepared via phase inversion method. N-methylene-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) of three different molecular weights (...

Grafting a measured lamination on a hyperbolic surface defines a self-map of Teichmüller space, which is a homeomorphism by a result of Scannell and Wolf. In this paper we study the large-scale behavior of pruning, which is the inverse of grafting. Specifically, for each conformal structure X ∈ T (S), pruning X gives a map ML (S) → T (S). We show that this map extends to the Thurston compactifi...

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes have attracted much attention due to a variety of excellent characteristics, which include thermal stability nd tolerance to most solvents, atmosphere, bacteria and photo irradiation. Therefore, their exploitation also covers many fields, like pervaporation, ater treatment, enzyme immobilization, and hemodialysis. However, the relative poor hydrophilicity and b...

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film for domoic acid (DA) was synthesised by direct photo-grafting onto a gold chip suitable for a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based bioanalytical instrument system, the BIAcore 3000. The gold surface was first functionalised with a self-assembled monolayer of 2-mercaptoethylamine and subsequent carbodiimide chemistry was performed for covalent attachme...

The grafting of polymers onto a carbon black surface based on the trapping of polymer radicals by polycondensed aromatic rings of the surface was investigated. It was found that polymer radicals formed by the thermal decomposition of azo-polymer, peroxy-polymer and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy-terminated polymer are successfully captured by a carbon black surface to give the correspondi...

Helical CT angiography has been widely used in both pre- and post-aortic stent grafting and it has been confirmed to be the preferred modality when compared to conventional angiography. The recent development of multislice CT (MSCT) has further enhanced the applications of CT angiography for aortic stent grafting. One of the advantages of MSCT angiography over conventional angiography is that t...
