Low electro-synthesis potentials improve permselectivity of polymerized natural phenols in biosensor applications
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
First-generation amperometric biosensors are often based on the electro-oxidation of oxidase-generated H2O2. At the applied potential used in most studies, other molecules such as ascorbic acid or dopamine can be oxidized. ...
Mercury accumulation in Lethrinus nebulosus from the marine waters of the Qatar EEZ
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) were recorded in the commercial demersal fish Lethrinus
nebulosus, caught from six locations in Qatar EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone). Concentrations of THg decreased
in the ...
RNA:DNA ratios as a proxy of egg production rates of Acartia
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
Estimates of copepod secondary production are of great importance to infer the global organic matter fluxes in aquatic ecosystems and species-specific responses of zooplankton to hydrologic variability. However, there is ...
Impacts of twenty years of experimental warming on soil carbon, nitrogen, moisture and soil mites across alpine/subarctic tundra communities
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
High-altitude and alpine areas are predicted to experience rapid and substantial increases in future temperature, which may have serious impacts on soil carbon, nutrient and soil fauna. Here we report the impact of 20 years ...
Quantification of Melamine in Milk and Dairy Products by Liquid Chromatography after a Simple Sample Clean-Up Procedure
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, a simple procedure of melamine determination in dairy products is reported. This is based first on melamine extraction from dairy products by 1% acetic acid, sonication, centrifugation and filtration by 0.45 µm ...

Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks for delta-endotoxin and protease yields modelling of Bacillus thuringiensis
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. Using available medium ingredients as ...
Short-Term Effects of Experimental Warming and Precipitation Manipulation on Soil Microbial Biomass C and N, Community Substrate Utilization Patterns and Community Composition
(
Soil Science Society of China
, 2017 , Article)
Soil microorganisms are major drivers of soil carbon (C) cycling; however, the response of these microorganisms to climate change remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated how 18 months of multifactor climate ...
Agroecology as a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Smallholders of Tehri-Garhwal in the Indian Himalayan Region
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and rainfall in the Himalayan region and place stress on local livelihoods by affecting agro-biodiversity, crop yield, cropping patterns and the species composition of ...
Estimating carbon dynamics in an intact lowland mixed dipterocarp forest using a forest carbon model
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Intact dipterocarp forests in Asia act as crucial carbon (C) reservoirs, and it is therefore important to investigate the C dynamics in these forests. We estimated C dynamics, together with net ecosystem production (NEP), ...
