Veel westerse mensen voelen nu een onbestemd gevoel van onthechting, van geestelijke eenzaamheid. Hoe nog een …

Various diazo compounds, nitrile oxides, nitrones and azomethine ylides were examined in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to enantiomerically pure 5-(R)-menthyloxy-2(5H)-furanone 1a. Pyrazoline 9 was obtained in 100% c.y. as a mixture of 2 diastereoisomers in ratios up to 72: 28, whereas pyrazoline 16 was …

On the basis of a model for energy budgets, which includes the dynamics of stored energy, a model has been proposed for the kinetics of non-metabolized xenobiotic compounds, which may be lipophilic. The surface area coupled uptake is via food and/or water through the aqueous fraction of the animal. The …

Tomato varieties used at present for commercial production in Dutch glasshouses have a high density of glandular trichomes on the stem, but a very low density on the leaves. The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, usually …
