Characteristics of T-cell and B-cell immune respoonses to pollen allergens in Bulgarian patients with pollinosis by ZHIVKA KOSTOVA, TSVETELINA BATSALOVA, DZHEMAL MOTEN, IVANKA TENEVA, BALIK DZHAMBAZOV

“…The T-cell reactivity in most patients was directed towards the grass pollen B1, tree pollen I and autumn pollen B5. 70% of the allergic individuals responded to allergens from Lolium perenne, 84% to Dactylis glomerata, 11% to Phleum pratense, 65% to Betula pendula and 70% to Taxus baccata. Elevated serum levels of specific IgE in the allergic patients (p<0.01) were measured against the tree pollen I and autumn pollen, which include widespread deciduous trees (birch, willow, poplar and yew) and Artemisia absinthium, respectively. …”

Eesti sürjametsad; nende tüübid ja indikaatorliigid by Paal Jaanus, Turb Margit, Köster Tiina, Rooma Igna

“…The hillock forests can be classified into four forest types: 1) Fragaria vesca–Festuca ovina–Pinus sylvestris type, 2) Fragaria vesca–Oxalis acetosella–Pinus sylvestris type, 3) Fragaria vesca–Viola mirabilis–Picea abies–Populus tremula type and, 4) Fragaria vesca–Equisetum pratense–Betula pendula type. There is no need to define the hillock forests as a separate forest site type in practical forest typology, nevertheless recognition of these forests as representing the habitat directive type 9060 is important from the viewpoint of biodiversity maintenance.…”

Birch Wood Surface Characterization after Treatment with Modified Phenol-Formaldehyde Oligomers by Juris Grinins, Mairis Iesalnieks, Vladimirs Biziks, Ineta Gritane, Guntis Sosins

“…To obtain the modified PF (M-PF) resins, the PF pre-polymers with average molecular weight (M_w) from 266 to 884 g/mol were esterified with decanoyl, lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, and stearoyl chloride in pyridine as the reaction medium. Silver birch (<i>Betula pendula</i>) wood specimens (15 × 70 × 150 mm³) were coated with M-PF pre-polymer 5% (w/w) solutions in tetrahydrofuran (THF), and hydrophobic properties of treated birch wood specimens were evaluated using surface contact angle (CA) measurements of water droplets. …”
