The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is a vast region of approximately 1,420,000 km(2), with a flora characterized by low species diversity, low endemicity, and little influence by alien species. New records of vascular plant species are documented here based on recent fieldwork on Victoria and Baffin Islands; additional records based on recent literature sources are mentioned. This paper serves as ...

Sponge gourd is versatile summer vegetable having potential applications across many sectors. Twenty sponge genotypes were studied at the Department of Vegetable Science, College Agriculture, Vellanikkara, Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur, for study variability in morphological, yield and biochemical traits. Significant difference existed among all characters under study. In general, Ph...

В статье анализируются подходы и концепции исследований, посвященных проблемам изучения Aegyptiaca Romana в римском обществе, зарубежном антиковедении. Отмечается, что религиозная интерпретация египетских египтизированных предметов артефактов длительное время являлась доминирующей парадигмой. Вплоть до 1970-х годов основной проблемой всех таких исследований являлось игнорирование контекста испо...

Coastal wetlands are a type of unique ecosystem, in which rhizosphere microorganisms vegetation play significant role the overall ecology. Rhizosphere soil samples from Liaohekou Wetlands, Northeast China (40°54?44? N, 121°47?51? E), were collected seven habitats (Suaeda and Phragmites community different coverage, aquaculture ponds farmland biotopes) to evaluate diversity structure bacterial u...

H(+)-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatases (H(+)-PPase) were recognized as the original energy donors in the development of plants. A large number of researchers have shown that H(+)-PPase could be an early-originated protein that participated in many important biochemical and physiological processes. In this study we cloned 14 novel sequences from 7 eremophytes: Sophora alopecuroid (Sa), Gl...

Mat of mycelia of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were immobilized on loofa-sponge discs, as an inert support, to obtain a suitable biosorbent .Mean amount of immobilized P.chrysosporium on loofa-sponge was 376 mgg of dry loofa-sponge. In this study immobilized P.chrysosporium and naked loofa-sponge discs were used as biosorbent to remove Pb (II) and Cd (II) from aqueous solution .At kinetic study ...
