The application of different multivariate statistical approaches for the interpretation of a large and complex data matrix obtained during a monitoring program of surface waters in Northern Greece is presented in this study. The dataset consists of analytical results from a 3-yr survey conducted in the major river systems (Aliakmon, Axios, Gallikos, Loudias and Strymon) as well as streams, trib...

In previous reports (Converse, 1955, 1956, 1957) a chemically defined medium was described which supported the growth of the parasitic phase (spherule) of the dimorphic fungus Coccidioides immitis. Certain physicochemical factors were shown to influence the growth of spherules in this medium. The work to be described here is an extension of the investigation of the nutritional and environmental...

Traditionally, melissopalynological and physicochemical analyses have been the most used to determine the botanical origin of honey. However, when performed individually, these analyses may provide less unambiguous results, making it difficult to discriminate between mono and multifloral honeys. In this context, with the aim of better characterizing this beehive product, a selection of 112 Lava...

Flower color not only determines the quality and commercial value of ornamental plants, but it also plays a vital role in ecological processes such as pollinator attraction. This study aimed to investigate relationship between flower cellular physicochemical factors Bletilla striata. The space values 21 samples were initially determined, followed by selection five with significant differences f...

Abstract Comprehensive knowledge of faecal sludge characteristics is needed for management planning, but it lacking the city Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Thus, this study characterised physicochemical properties from households in Penh and related these to containment unit type, age, connectedness urban drainage network, type wastewater captured, watertight units, number users, emptying practices. In ...
