Recent reports challenge the widely accepted idea that drought may offer protection against ozone (O(3)) damage in plants. However, little is known about the impact of drought on the magnitude of O(3) tolerance in winter wheat species. Two winter wheat species with contrasting sensitivity to O(3) (O(3) tolerant, primitive wheat, T. turgidum ssp. durum; O(3) sensitive, modern wheat, T. aestivum ...

The NO removal over oxide sorbents (K2O/Al2O3 , CaO/Al2O3 and BaO/Al2O3) at a loading of up to 25 wt.% was investigated using a synthetic diesel exhaust gas containing  1,000 ppm NO, 1000 ppm iso-butane (i-C4H10), 8% O2 and N2 balance. The reactor was operated  at 250 <su...

The main purpose of this project is investigation of the organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) enzyme activity in water in oil (w/o) and oil in water (o/w) creams and investigation of the OPH enzyme stability in formulated creams. OPH enzyme was extracted and purified from strain flavobacterium. The w/o and o/w creams were prepared using different formulations. In order to achieve an emulsion with m...

The tropiduchid planthopper genus Ommatissus Fieber, 1875 is reviewed to include six species in China: O. binotatus Fieber, 1875 (Taiwan), O. chinsanensis Muir, 1913 (Hong Kong, Macao, Guangdong), O. fuscus sp. nov. (Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan), O. lateralis sp. nov. (Yunnan, Guizhou), O. lofouensis Muir, 1913 (Guizhou, Shandong, Shanxi, Hunan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan) and O. trimaculatus sp. nov....
