The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of selenium nanoparticles on the key cultivation parameters and phytostimulatory properties of Lactococcus lactis IMB B-7352. Cultivation of L. lactis IMB B-7352 was carried out in MRS medium supplemented with nanoselenium at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mg/L (based on selenium content). The antagonistic activity of ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biomaterial produced by certain bacteria that possesses unique properties, distinguishing it from plant-derived cellulose by its purity, high crystallinity, excellent biocompatibility, and superior water-holding capacity. Due to these advantages, BC is increasingly used in various industrial applications. However,...

A novel peptide, CG-16, with the sequence CHAECGAACKEFCLEG, was designed and synthesized. Studies were conducted to assess its physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and effects on lipid deposition in cells in an in vitro experiment. It was established that the CG-16 peptide does not contain antigenic determinants. A search across the PeptideAtlas, UniProt, and the National Center ...

... Functional Linguistics. Explanation is analysed from two perspectives: as a communicative act and as a two-part discursive structure. The com­mu­nicative act of explanation is characterised by a perlocutionary goal of making the reader un­derstand the properties of an entity. This understanding focuses on the properties that are un­clear or not obvious to the reader. The perlocutionary goal defines the key feature of the ex­pla­nation act, which uses diverse verbal tools to clarify the properties ...

Thus, the purpose of this project was to study the physicochemical properties of microalgae of the Baltic Sea in the Kaliningrad region. The amount of protein was determined by the Bradford method, while lipids were assessed by the Folch method. As a result of the work, it was proved that the maximum value of the indicator ...

Interest in nitrogen-containing heterocycles can be brought about by the possibility of obtaining organic compounds with new properties by introduc­ing various substituents into the structure. The aim of this work is to aminate quinoid structures with dibenzothiazine to produce condensed heterocycles with a bridged nitrogen atom. It is the N-substituted derivatives that form ...

... ontological-gnoseological content of the treatise in order to reveal the prerequisites for the cognitive interpretation of syllogisms. The second part is an attempt to explicate the treatise’s cognitive content, i.e. a systemic representation of the cognitive properties of syllogisms, as understood by Kant. Kant’s syllogism is characterised as an intellectual act aimed at eliminating opaqueness in cognition and consists of several mental procedures. The cognitive properties of syllogisms are discoverable ...

... action on the body is currently known to involve the reduction of NMDA receptor activity, which underpins most of its effects. Ongoing research into xenon’s mechanisms has revealed several kinase cascades that contribute to the gas’s protective properties. Additionally, xenon inhalation has been demonstrated to be effective as an anesthetic during surgeries, in organ transplantation, and in reducing pain syndromes. A novel application of this inert gas may be in addressing symptoms of psycho-neurodegenerative ...

... historically and are currently adopted in the main amber-producing and amber-processing countries (Russia, Poland, and Ukraine). The study does not address geological and mineralogical classifications of fossil resins or their physical and chemical properties. Instead, the focus is on classification systems used for practical production and commercial purposes during amber extraction, sorting, processing, and trade. Three fundamental levels of classification criteria for raw amber are identified: ...
