Symbolic meaning is one of a number of modes of humans’ relationships with physical settings. Although symbolic meaning is qualitative and ambiguous, it is an encompassing mode of interaction: symbolic meanings assemble feelings, urges, and abstract concepts; they shape people’s understanding of the world and motivate their purposes, attitudes, and...

In a greenhouse experiment, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were applied on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) leaves using the droplet application method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses showed that after 24 h silver nanoparticles were mostly present in aggregates or as single particles on the surface of the leaf, surrounding or coverin...
Food composition tables (FCT) inform on the nutritional composition of foods consumed and are an essential resource for understanding and analyzing dietary intake data related to both individuals and communities, and for developing healthy recipes and food products. They are a fundamental piece of knowledge to support interventions related to impro...

Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChF) signal analysis has become a widely used and rapid, non-invasive technique to study the photosynthetic process under stress conditions. It monitors plant responses to various environmental factors affecting plants under experimental and field conditions. Thus, it enables extensive research in ecology and benefits fo...

Trees in towns and cities provide critical services to humans, animals and other living things. They help prevent climate change by capturing and storing carbon dioxide; they provide food and shelter to other species, they scrub the air of microscopic pollutants, cool local temperatures, and improve the mental and physical health of those who have ...
Za dano drevo $T$ se lahko vprašamo, ali lahko določimo vse možne spektre matrik, ki jih lahko priredimo drevesu $T$. Najmanjše možno število različnih lastnih vrednosti med spektri matrik, ki pripadajo drevesu $T$, označimo s $q(T)$. S pomočjo kombinatoričnih lastnosti danega drevesa lahko dobimo spodnjo mejo za parameter $q(T)$. Pomemben izrek na...

We introduce a model for the retrieval of information hidden in legal texts. These are typically organised in a hierarchical (tree) structure, which a reader interested in a given provision needs to explore down to the ‘deepest’ level (articles, clauses, …). We assess the structural complexity of legal trees by computing the mean first-passage time...
Although apparent light inhibition of leaf day respiration is a widespread reported phenomenon, the mechanisms involved, including utilization of alternate respiratory pathways and substrates and light inhibition of TCA cycle enzymes are under active investigation. Recently, acetate fermentation was highlighted as a key drought survival strategy me...
