Novel quality control methods in conjunction with chemometrics (multivariate analysis) for detecting honey authenticity.
TL;DR: Mineral and trace element analysis were repeatedly shown to be a very effective means for the classification purposes of honey of various origins (geographical and botanical).

TL;DR: The photocatalytic disinfection of spring water and secondary treated municipal wastewater by means of UV-A irradiation over TiO2 suspensions was investigated in this paper, where the effect of various operating parameters such as photocatalyst type (rutile, anatase, mixture of anatase and rutile) and concentration (05-1/g/L), contact time (up to 60min) and sample pH (6-8) on the disinfection as assessed in terms of faecal indicator microorganisms (total coliforms and enterococci) in

Manganese Stabilizing Protein of Photosystem II Is a Thermostable, Natively Unfolded Polypeptide†
Nikos Lydakis-Simantiris,Ronald S. Hutchison,Scott D. Betts,Bridgette A. Barry,Charles F. Yocum +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, as with other members of this family of proteins, the natively unfolded structure of manganese stabilizing protein facilitates the highly effective protein-protein interactions that are necessary for its assembly into photosystem II.

Tyrosyl radicals in enzyme catalysis: Some properties and a focus on photosynthetic water oxidation
Gerald T. Babcock,Matthew P. Espe,Curt Hoganson,Nikos Lydakis-Simantiris,John McCracken,Wenjun Shi,Stenbjörn Styring,Cecilia Tommos,Kurt Warncke +8 more
TL;DR: General properties of the radical enzymes are summarized from which it is concluded that their essential role in catalysis is to initiate substrate metabolism by hydrogen-atom abstraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, three well-known spatial interpolation techniques, namely Ordinary Kriging (OK), Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), and Radial Basis Functions (RBF), were applied for generating the prediction maps, which then were assessed for their accuracy and effectiveness with a new, independent set of samples.
