AGRO-PROCESS INTENSIFICATION: SOILBORNE MICRO-BIOREACTORS WITH NITROGEN FIXING BACTERIUM AZOSPIRILLUM BRASILENSE AS SELF-SUSTAINING BIOFERTILISER SOURCE FOR ENHANCED NITROGEN UPTAKE BY PLANTS

A new application of agro-process intensification is described for nitrogen fixation by Azospirillum brasilense supported within the pores of sulphonated-neutralised polyHIPE polymers (PHPs) which are highly hydrophilic, elastic, crosslinked and ionic with nano-structured pore walls.These bioactive macroscopic polymer particles, when used as soil a

Old clones of Lonicera tatarica L.were registered in four places in Finland in order to find beautiful, hardy and healthy clones.The number of registered clones was 90; the 14 best clones were selected for further investigations.Seven of the selected clones were here L.tatarica, four with red flowers and three with white flowers.Six of the clones w

Research results suggesting that facets of negative affectivity, i.e.anxiety, anger-hostility, and depression, relate to incident cardiovascular diseases have been steadily increasing.Evidence for depression has been especially extensive.Elevated blood pressure, a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases, is one probable mediator in this contex
