Establishment of seedlings at early growth stages of crop plants as one of the most important determinants of high yield is severely affected by soil salinity. Therefore, high germination rate and vigorous early growth under saline soils is preferred. In this study 15 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were used to investigate the effects of three salinity concentrations including 4, 8 and ...

The essay reflects upon the deliberative democracy and upon the limits and possibilities of the municipal health councils to become institutions that practice and settle it.

A síntese one-pot de complexos diméricos de boro é descrita. Os compostos foram obtidos pela reação de bases de Schiff (ligantes tridentados) com ácido trans-β-fenilvinilborônico, ácido 3tiofeninoborônico e ácido metilborônico. A construção das estruturas diméricas é favorecida pela presença de ligações de coordenação N→B intramoleculares, resultando na formação de anéis heterociclicos de dez m...
