Agents and biologically active fractions derived from medical plants grown in Siberia were tested in vitro and in vivo. The extract from the aspen bark displayed the highest antiopisthorchiatic activity. This agent given at a concentration of 10(-3) caused 100% death of Opisthorchis 72 hours later. In golden hamster experiments, the efficiency of the aspen bark extract was 73.48-83.0%. Butanolic and ethylacetatic extracts were found to have the greatest antiopisthorchiatic activity. The results of chemical and chromatographic studies indicated that active fractions contained salicine and its derivatives. The aspen bark extract produces no substantial toxic effect on laboratory animals and belongs to the class "Low-toxic substances".

Understanding how mutations arise and spread through individuals and populations is fundamental to evolutionary biology. Most organisms have a life cycle with unicellular bottlenecks during reproduction. However, some organisms like plants, fungi, or colonial animals can grow indefinitely, changing the manner in which mutations spread throughout both the individual and the population.

Co-gasification technology is considered to be one of the most potential technologies for solid waste treatment, and the co-gasification treatment of rural solid waste (RSW) and biomass can effectively promote waste reduction and resource utilization. In the present study, the co-gasification of RSW and biomass in an updraft fixed bed gasifier was simulated using the Aspen Plus software, where the simulation results were validated via plant-scale experiments. In this scenario, the impacts of biomass source (i.

Although an important part of the ecosystem, large wild herbivores (LWH), especially red deer (Cervus elaphus L.), cause significant damage to economically valuable timber in forests of Central Europe. Recent work has demonstrated that less valuable softwood broadleaved trees can act as “biological control” that helps reduce bark browsing on more valuable trees in a mixed stand.
