The 3-year experiment was concerned with the response of spring forms of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.subsp.aestivum), durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum subsp.spelta L.em.Thell.) to the foliar application of a plant growth stimulant (extract from marine algae Ecklonia maxima), with the commercial name of Kel
Epimerization of ergot alkaloids in feed
Chronic intake of cereals contaminated with ergot alkaloids can cause ergotism and result in the loss of toes and fingers or even death.Today, due to common risk management practices, ergotism is rare as a human disease but remains a problem in livestock husbandry.Each alkaloid coexists under two forms (R and S), though Cables and adapters only the
Edge Artifacts in Point Spread Function-based PET Reconstruction in Relation to Object Size and Reconstruction Parameters
Objective(s): We evaluated edge artifacts in relation to phantom diameter and reconstruction parameters in point spread function (PSF)-based positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction.Methods: PET data were acquired from an original cone-shaped phantom filled with 18F solution (21.9 kBq/mL) for 10 min using a Biograph mCT scanner.The i
Theoretical-methodological foundations on risk management associated with nursing care to the critically-ill patients
Introduction: the scientific development regarding the medical technology achieved in recent years, the multiple procedures and invasive techniques to which patients are subjected during their stay in intensive care units, associated with risks and adverse events.In a general sense, the role of nursing professionals is considered of vital importanc
