In recent years several classic halls for chamber music were renovated and a few halls of similar capacity were built in Russia. We have selected the most interesting ones and measured their acoustical parameters. Here we are presenting detailed descriptions of five halls in Moscow, Tula, Ufa and Penza in combination with the measurement data. Some of them have long reverberation time and their...

Chronic invasive nongranulomatous fungal rhinosinusitis is a well-described but uncommon type of fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS). While the prevalence of chronic FRS is 0.11% in healthy individuals, only 1.3% of them are in nongranulomatous invasive nature. The majority of the cases in the literature have been reported from developing countries mostly located in the tropical regions, as typically o...

Plants were grown in two glasshouse compartments under two vapour pressure de®cit (vpd) levels: low vpd was obtained by increasing air humidity with a fogging system, and high vpd was obtained during sunny hours in a greenhouse where air humidity was not controlled. The mean value, of the six driest hours of the day concerning the growing period of the fruits considered, was 1.6 kPa under low v...

In regions with intense solar radiation it is common the use of aluminated covers in greenhouses, with the aim of reducing the inside temperature. However, the use of these covers reduces photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) transmitted into the greenhouse. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of different covers on microclimate in greenhouses cultivated with cherry...

Tomato seedlings in a growth chamber were inoculated with 150 Meloidogyne incognita eggs and 25 infective juveniles (IJ)/cm² of Steinernema feltiae, S. riobrave, or Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. With the exception of seedling roots treated with H. bacteriophora, all seedlings treated with entomopathogenic nematodes had fewer M. incognita juveniles inside roots and produced fewer eggs than the ...

The effects of temperature on embryogenesis and postinfection development in Meloidogyne konaensis were examined. Embryogenesis was evaluated at 5, 8, 10, 13, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 35, and 40 C. No embryonic development occurred at 5 C. Some development, although incomplete, occurred at 8 and 10 C. The rate of embryogenesis was linear from 13 to 30 C, but decreased at 35 C. The lowest egg...

S. MANEVA, S., T. VATCHEV and E. MITEVA, 2013. Effect of lead excess in soil on the accumulation of P, K and Na in infected by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 972-980 Pot experiments were conducted in greenhouse of IPAZR, “N. Poushkarov”, Sofia, to study the effects of excess lead (Pb) in soils on the upta...

Vermicomposts, which are produced by the fragmentation of organic wastes by earthworms, have a fine particulate structure and contain nutrients in forms that are readily available for plant uptake. In greenhouse trials, the growth of marigold and tomato seedlings, in a commercial horticultural potting medium (Metro-Mix 360), was enhanced significantly upon substitution of Metro-Mix 360 with 10 ...

The continual detection of a slow (I1) esterase band in greenhouse cultures of Meloidogyne konaensis isolated from the field led to a hypothesis that the nematode may be polymorphic for esterase. A survey of coffee fields demonstrated at least four esterase phenotypes were present in Meloidogyne recovered. An F1 phenotype predominated (60% of the females), but an I1 phenotype was also common (3...
