In the last two decades, phenolic compounds occurring in olive oils known as secoiridoids have attracted a great interest for their bioactivity.Four major olive oil secoiridoids, i.e., oleuropein and ligstroside aglycones, oleacin and oleocanthal, were previously characterized in our laboratory using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with electr
Geospatial analysis of the patterns of chemical exposures among biota in the Canadian Oil Sands Region.
Understanding the patterns of chemical exposure among biota across a landscape is challenging due to the spatial heterogeneity and complexity of the sources, pathways, and fate of the different chemicals.While TIES REG 7CM WIDTH spatially-driven relationships between contaminant sources and biota body burdens of a single chemical are commonly model
Clearcuts and related secondary dieback undermine the ecological effectiveness of FSC certification in a boreal forest
Abstract Background Over the last 25 years, the prominent forest certification system established by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has used by many companies worldwide for claiming responsible forest management.The objectives of the Russian National FSC standard to decrease the size of clearcuts and the retention of forest elements such as r
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE ECONOMIC POLICIES FOR THE SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
The complex interaction mechanism between state and market economy implies the requirement that public power make use of adequate means and techniques for the difficult role the state has to play within economy.The allocation, distribution and, especially, regulatory role of the Vacuums state presupposes the promotion of economic policy.The involve
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Origin of Nickel-Bearing Laterites in the Northwestern of Noorabad (Lorestan Province)
The nickel-bearing laterites of Noorabad area are seen in the high Zagros zone along with Kermanshah ophiolitic complex.The ophiolitic complex in the studied area includes serpentinized peridotites, isotropic gabbros, plagiogranite, sheeted dykes, basaltic lavas, andesite, and radiolarite.The peridotites of this ophiolitic complex include dunite, h
