The effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. Dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. Ratio of water t...

In this paper we provide a step by step comparison of the pathogenesis of murine infection caused by reovirus type 3 (Dearing) and an antigenic variant (K) selected by its resistance to neutralization with a monoclonal antibody (G5) directed against the T3 hemagglutinin. To show that specific changes in the biologic properties of variant K were due to mutation in the S1 double-stranded RNA segm...

Lobularia maritima or sweet alyssum (Brassicaceae) is an annual littoral halophyte, naturally thriving on sandy beaches. In addition to its obvious interest as a salt-tolerant plant, this species mainly cultivated ornamental plant in many countries. Laboratory experiments were carried out assess the effects of salinity seed germination and recovery from saline conditions after transfer distille...

Fast-growing European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) shrubs are aggressively invading woodlands in eastern and midwestern North America. Buckthorn casts dense shade, alters soil conditions, and may be allelopathic. We used greenhouse and field experiments to investigate aboveand belowground effects of Rhamnus on four herbaceous species native to southern Wisconsin. In the greenhouse, we assesse...

Abstract One of the most recent and effective methods, which is currently receiving special attention being developed by numerous researchers, production microspheres from probiotic cells. The largest market segment for functional foods represented dairy products, have been touted as carriers nutrients, such probiotics, prebiotics, proteins, vitamins, minerals. Yogurt fermented product that pop...
