Observed recent and expected future increases in frequency and intensity of climatic extremes in central Europe may pose critical challenges for domestic tree species. Continuous dendrometer recordings provide a valuable source of information on tree stem radius variations, offering the possibility to study a tree's response to environmental influences at a high temporal resolution. In this study, we analyze stem radius variations (SRV) of three domestic tree species (beech, oak, and pine) from 2012 to 2014.

  • Findings suggest that these compensatory strategies may help JK athletes maintain performance despite their condition.

Unlabelled: Toxic phytanic acid concentrations in patients with Refsum's disease can be reduced by plasma separation, performed either as plasmapheresis, or as cascade filtration. The latter procedure is as efficient and safe as plasmapheresis, and eliminates the need for albumin replacement. This study investigates the loss of immunoglobulins associated with the procedure.
