the cornelian cherry is one of those less common but, nevertheless, interesting fruit species found in serbia which can be used both for food and medicine. due to a great importance of cornelian cherry fruits as safe food and a wide interest in growing this fruit species, this research was focused on examining the production technique of quality planting material of particularly large-fruit sel...

As phytoplasmas are non cultivable micro-organisms, the research on phytoplasmal diseases can only be achieved with infected hosts. Biological indexing (by grafting) is the simplest detection method for phytoplasmal diseases. We tested four different grafting techniques for inoculation of apple trees or periwinkles in greenhouse, including whip graft, bark graft, budding and chip-budding. All t...

The use of whips by jockeys is an issue. The current study viewed opportunistic high-speed footage of 15 race finishes frame-by-frame to examine the outcomes of arm and wrist actions (n = 350) on 40 horses viewed from the left of the field. Any actions fully or partially obscured by infrastructure or other horses were removed from the database, leaving a total of 104 non-contact sweeps and 134 ...
