Planning in forestry should be based on accurate and reliable data. UAVs equipped with RGB cameras can enable fast relatively cheap surveys, but their accuracy depends many factors. Therefore, it is necessary to determine when used this type of survey gives data that does not reflect the true ground situation. This research analyzed usability a UAV, camera, for recording normal cross-sections side ditch depths forest road lowland forest. The was conducted two time periods: during winter...
Forests in Croatia are characterized by higher levels of biodiversity species composition. Three significant events occurred Croatian forests over the past ten years, all which have a common denominator—sanitary felling. The challenge sustainable development started with ice storm 2014 that amounted to damage and raised costs forest stands EUR 231,180,921. second was 2017 when bark beetle outbreak Gorski Kotar region. In December 2017, windstorm same area caused approximately 500,000 m3 wood...
The aim of this study was to compare the concentration phenolic compounds, glucosinolates, proteins, sugars and vitamin C between kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. acephala gongylodes), Savoy cabbage (B. sabauda), Brussels sprouts gemmifera), cauliflower botrytis), radish (Raphanus sativus) garden cress (Lepidium sativum) microgreens for their antioxidant hypoglycemic potential. In addition, we applied an in vitro-simulated system human digestion order track bioaccessibility selected...
Croatian pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) populations represent southern range peripheral populations, often viewed as sources of valuable diversity and drought-resistant ecotypes. At the same time, they endure stronger selection pressures a result climate change. The leaves 20 individuals per population (17) were sampled in field trial analyzed using 10 nuclear 9 chloroplast SSRs to determine level intrapopulation genetic variability differentiation. Analysis with nSSRs revealed deviation...
AimTo examine the influence of ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation on blood, saliva, semen, and naked DNA samples for preventing cross-contamination working surfaces in laboratories.MethodsBlood, isolated from buccal swab were obtained a single male donor applied to laboratory surfaces. UVC was these diluted undiluted with or without previous decontamination 10% sodium hypochlorite 20% ethanol. Genomic extracted using Chelex. After quantification, amplified AmpFlSTR® NGM™ PCR Amplification Kit. We...
To investigate the impact of synthetic electrospun polyurethane (PU) and polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoscaffolds, before after hydrolytic surface modification, on viability differentiation cultured human eye epithelial cells, in comparison with natural scaffolds: fibrin amniotic membrane.Human placenta was taken at elective cesarean delivery. Fibrin scaffolds were prepared from commercial glue kits. Nanoscaffolds fabricated by electrospinning. Limbal cells isolated surpluses cadaveric cornea...
Immunoprophylaxis of porcine postweaning colibacillosis (PWC) caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) expressing F4 fimbriae is an unsolved problem. Just as ETEC strains can exploit intestinal microfold (M) cells the entry portal for infection, their high transcytotic ability make them attractive target mucosally delivered vaccines, adjuvants and therapeutics. We have developed a model parenteral/oral immunization 4-weeks-old pigs with either levamisole or vaccine candidate F4ac+...

Rutting measurements are a significant part of scientific research on the impact forest vehicles soils and damage to transport infrastructure. Although photogrammetric methods measurement or based LiDAR (light detection ranging) data increasingly being used for rutting measurements, previous conducted using these indicated challenge recording water-filled ruts. For this reason, it is necessary define reliable method field in lowland stands characterized by high level groundwater that fills...
Levamisole (2, 3, 5, 6-tetrahydro-6-phenylimidazole 2,1-b thiazole) is a well-known nonspecific stimulator of host defence mechanisms. In previous investigations, we have found that levamisole acts on cell-mediated immunity in challenge-induced porcine postweaning colibacillosis (PWC). We assume could also act synergistically humoural immune response when applied as an adjuvant with vaccine candidate strains for oral immunization weaned pigs against PWC. The influence combination...
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection is the most common type of porcine postweaning colibacillosis (PWC). Among fimbriae ETEC strains best studied family are members F4 adhesins, existing in at least three variants: ab, ac, ad. Active immunization against PWC difficult due to: i) only one essential predisposing factors, ii) success vaccinal antigen uptake depends on presence enterocyte receptors for iii) intestinal immune system may react with tolerance or hypersensitivity to...
The aim of the study was to investigate efficiency feed supplementation with dried calendula (C.officinalis), dandelion (T.officinale) and marigold (T.erecta) flowers, as well basil (O.basilicum 'Genovese') leaves on kinetics total leukocytes, helper cytotoxic T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, intestinal excretion Escherichia coli laying hens.Laying hens Tetra SL line, aged 25 weeks, were used study.The animals divided into nine groups 15 birds.The fed common addition 1% (10...
To analyze 8 X-linked short tandem repeat (STR) markers in the population of central Croatia and to evaluate their forensic efficiency.We carried out a statistical analysis data from previously performed genetic analyses, collected during routine work by Forensic Science Centre ''Ivan Vučetić.'' Mentype® Argus X-8 PCR amplification kit was used for typing 99 unrelated healthy women 78 men Croatia. Haplotype frequencies were calculated only male samples. Arlequin 3.5 software assess...
Colidiarrhea and colienterotoxemia caused by F4+ and/or F18+ enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains are the most prevalent infections of suckling weaned pigs. Here we tested immunogenicity protective effectiveness attenuated F18ac+ non-ETEC vaccine candidate strain against challenge infection with F4ac+ ETEC quantitative phenotypic analysis small intestinal leukocyte subsets in We also evaluated levamisole as an immune response modifier (IRM) its adjuvanticity when given combination...
X chromosome STR typing has emerged recently as a powerful tool, complementary to autosomal typing, in solving complex forensic and missing person cases. Investigator® Argus X-12 is commercial product that allows co-amplification of 12 chromosomal markers belonging four linkage groups (LGs). In this study, we analyzed by capillary electrophoresis blood samples from 100 females 102 males population northern Croatia. Statistical analysis included calculation allele haplotype frequencies, well...
Abstract Background Because European-wide directives are restricting the non-clinical use of antibiotics as in-feed growth promotors in swine production, there is an intensive search for alternative strategies control and prevention losses among young pigs. With growing knowledge porcine immune system its endogenous modulation, it has been clearly established that exogenous immunomodulation using adjuvants response modifiers (IRMs) represents important prophylactic/therapeutic approach...
