Relationship between testate amoeba (protist) communities and atmospheric heavy metals accumulated in <em>Barbula indica</em> (bryophyta) in Vietnam (Publications)
We studied the relationships between testate amoeba communities and heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Zn, Ni, Cu, Mn, and Fe) concentrations in the moss Barbula indica sampled at 29 sites in and around the city of
Effects of experimental lead pollution on the microbial communities associated with Sphagnum fallax (Bryophyta) (Publications)
Ecotoxicological studies usually focus on single microbial species under controlled conditions. As a result, little is known about the responses of different microbial functional groups or individual
New derivatives of 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octanones and -ols as potential antiprotozoals (Publications)
New derivatives of 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octanones and -ols were prepared. Their structures were established by means of NMR experiments. All new compounds were tested for their activities against Plas
Synthesis and evaluation of the antitrypanosomal and antiplasmodial activities of new 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives (Publications)
Several new 4-amino-6,7-diphenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives, methylthiosemicarbazones of bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ones and esters of bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ols were prepared. Their antitrypanosomal a
Isomerization of 4-amino-6,7-diphenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ones (Publications)
Under strongly basic conditions (6SR,7SR)-4-amino-6,7-diphenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ones isomerized regioselectively in position 6 giving their (6RS,7SR) analogues. The structure of the new products w
New 4-amino-2-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane derivatives and their antiprotozoal potencies (Publications)
Several 2-substituted 4-amino-2-azabicyclo [3.2.2]nonane derivatives were synthesized. The new compounds were investigated for their activities against the causative organism of East African sleeping
Field efficacy of thermally expelled or live potted repellent plants against African malaria vectors in western Kenya (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effectiveness of live potted plants and thermal expulsion of plant materials in repelling African malaria vectors in traditional houses in western Kenya. METHODS: Ocimum ame
