The asymmetric biraphid pennate diatom Amphora copulata, isolated from tropical coastal waters (South China Sea, Malaysia), was cultured for renewable production of lipids (oils) in a medium comprised inorganic nutrients dissolved dilute palm oil mill effluent (POME). Optimal levels nitrate, phosphate, and silicate were identified maximizing the biomass concentration batch cultures conducted at...

BACKGROUND In the WHO region Europe, the average unrecorded adult per capita alcohol consumption was 2.67 L pure ethanol in 2005, which is 22% of the total consumption of 12.20 L. Despite concerns about potential health harms from the chemical composition of unrecorded alcohol, there are surprisingly few data on the problem in the European Region.

Abstract Until now, Šventoji in northwest Lithuania was considered the most northern site of Neolithic Globular Amphora Culture (hereafter GAC ; ca. 3400–2500 cal BC ) Europe. Recently, however, ceramics typologically resembling ware were identified among materials from multi-period sites Abora 1 and Iča Latvia further to north Tamula southeast Estonia. Here we present multi-disciplinary analys...
