The hydrological budgets of the Volga basin (VB) and the Caspian Sea (CS) have been analysed.The components of the water balance for the CS were calculated for the period 1993 to 2010 with emphasis on summer 2010 when a severe drought developed over European Russia.<br><br> A drop in precipitation over the VB in July 2010 occurs simulta
A potentially more environmentally compatible approach was evaluated, involving the use of an Full-Size Replica Helmets enzyme (X) stage optimally inserted into various bleaching sequences for Eucalyptus kraft pulps.The efficacy of the X stage was evaluated in terms of final brightness, CIE whiteness, post-color number (brightness reversion), efflu
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of diatom (microalgae) biomass as a lice-reducing ingredient in salmon feed.The original hypothesis was based on the fact that polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), e.g.2-trans, 4-trans decadenial (A3) produced by diatoms can function as grazing deterrents and harm copepod development.Salmon lice (Lep
Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that represent a heterogeneous family of plant polyphenolic compounds.Recent research has determined that the health benefits of fruits and vegetables, as well as the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, are based on the presence of various bioactive natural products, including a high proportion of flavono
