Due to the selective attenuation of solar light and the absorption properties of seawater and seawater constituents, free-floating photosynthetic organisms have to cope with rapid and unpredictable changes in both intensity and spectral quality.We have studied the transcriptional, metabolic and photo-physiological responses to light of different sp
Practical epistemology: the role of peer review in organizing scientific research
The article considers peer review as the main procedure for demarcating scientific knowledge from other kinds thereof, which do not meet the criteria set for research results.The authors examine the history of peer review, which has first been used in early scientific journals and then has become one of the key approaches to distributing funds for
Human difference in the genomic era: Facilitating a socially responsible dialogue
Abstract Background The study of human genetic variation has been advanced by research such as genome-wide association studies, which aim to identify variants associated with common, complex diseases and traits.Significant strides have already been made in gleaning information on susceptibility, treatment, and prevention of a number of disorders.Ho
Oilseed Rape Cultivars Show Diversity of Root Morphologies with the Potential for Better Capture of Nitrogen
The worldwide demand for vegetable oils is rising.Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) diversifies cereal dominated crop 3D Printer Filament rotations but requires important nitrogen input.Yet, the root organ is offering an untapped opportunity to improve the nitrogen capture in soil.This study evaluates three culture systems in controlled environment, to
Simultaneous pollutant removal and PHB accumulation in simple anaerobic treatment of oily wastewater
Oil and grease is one of the complicated pollutants to be removed due to oil-in-water emulsions content.This research is a treatment of oily wastewater from an edible oil factory.Addition to pollutant removal, accumulation of PHB (Polyhydroxybutyrate) is investigated simultaneously.Objectives of this research are to obtain the optimum operating con
