Salt-marshes are under increasing threat, particularly from sea-level rise and increased wave action associated with climate change. The development and stability of these valuable habitats largely depend on complex ...

In this work, the role of halogen F---H bonds in potassium 3-furoyl-trifluoroborate (FTFB), 2-isonicotinoyl-trifluoroborate (ITFB), 5-hydroxypentanoyl-trifluoroborate (HTFB), 5-Br-2-isonicotinoyl-trifluoroborate (Br-ITFB), ...

During the last decade a special interest has been focused on studying the relationship between the composition and structure of emulsions and the extent of lipolysis, driven by the necessity of modulate lipid digestion ...

Key message: Woody plants have salt-tolerant mechanisms similar to those developed by non-woody plants. Among others, compartmentalization of ions, production of compatible solutes, synthesis of specific proteins and ...

Over the last decades, human activities have strongly affected ecosystems, with pervasive increases in nutrient loadings, abiotic stress, and altered herbivore pressure. The evaluation of how those environmental factors ...

Sugars are the most common excipients added to pharmaceutical and biotechnological formulations as protein protectants due to their adequate physicochemical properties, low toxicity, high purity and low cost. However, a ...

In a previous work, bile-salt-resistant derivatives were obtained from non-intestinal lactobacilli. The aim of this work was to investigate the impact of bile adaptation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis 200 on ...

Nonstoichiometric cesium and rubidium salts of tungstosilicic acid (TSA) were synthesized by precipitation. These solids are insoluble in water, due to the low solvation energy of large cations, have high specific surface ...

Polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (PLECs) are organic electronic devices which operating mechanism depends on the injection and transport of electronic charge carrier and the electrochemical doping of the organic ...

FT-IR, FT-Raman and ultravioletevisible spectroscopies were used to characterize the potassium 5-hydroxypentanoyltrifluoroborate salt (HTFB) while the theoretical structures of this salt in gas andaqueous solution phases ...
