Hundreds of years biodiversity research have resulted in the accumulation a substantial pool communal knowledge; however, most it is stored silos isolated from each other, such as published articles or monographs. The need for system to store and manage collective knowledge community-agreed interoperable open format has evolved into concept Open Biodiversity Knowledge Management System (OBKMS). This paper presents OpenBiodiv: An OBKMS that utilizes semantic publishing workflows, text data...
The standardization of data, encompassing both primary and contextual information (metadata), plays a pivotal role in facilitating data (re-)use, integration, knowledge generation. However, the biodiversity omics communities, converging on have historically developed adopted their own distinct standards, hindering effective (meta)data integration collaboration. In response to this challenge, Task Group (TG) for Sustainable DwC-MIxS Interoperability was established. Convening experts from...
Accelerated and widespread use of different communication systems modern electronic equipment increases exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) raises serious concerns about the biological health-related effects RF radiation. Numerous studies document various However, most these findings derive from epidemiological, animal in vitro while only a few investigate radiation on plants.The purpose our study was alterations enzyme activities leaves after plants Plectranthus sp....
The aim of this work is to estimate patient doses from hybrid single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and (CT) procedures. study involved all four SPECT–CT systems in Bulgaria. Effective dose was estimated for about 100 patients per system. Ten types examinations were considered, representing diagnostic procedures performed the systems. SPECT component calculated applying ICRP 53 80 conversion coefficients. Computed index length product retrospectively obtained archives systems,...
ABSTRACTLamium album L. (white dead nettle) is a plant widely used in official and folk medicine. It possess astringent, anti-inflammotary, antibiotic, antispasmotic, antioxidant bacteriostatic properties bladder, kidney menstrual problems. The spectrum of its therapeutic activity related to variety biologically active substances.In present study we investigated potential effects on A549 cancer lung cell line several concentrations combinations methanol chloroform extracts from vivo vitro...
Abstract Summary: Results from tandem‐type probe diagnostics of a plasma source based on an inductive discharge are presented in this study. The driver region is the classical form cylindrically shaped discharge, with coil positioned over gas tube, whereas bigger metal chamber provides volume for expansion. Low pressure argon discharges were studied. axial profiles parameters measured chamber. results obtained show that decreasing electron temperature and density increasing distance...
OpenBiodiv is a biodiversity knowledge graph containing synthetic linked open dataset, OpenBiodiv-LOD, which combines extracted from academic literature with the taxonomic backbone used by Global Biodiversity Information Facility. The data modelled according to OpenBiodiv-O ontology integrating semantic resource types recognised and publishing ontologies types, introduced capture semantics of resources not before.We introduce new release OpenBiodiv-LOD attained through information extraction...
Data papers have emerged as a powerful instrument for open data publishing, obtaining credit, and establishing priority datasets generated in scientific experiments. Academic publishing improves metadata quality through peer review increases the impact of by enhancing their visibility, accessibility, reusability. We aimed to establish new type article structure template omics studies: paper. To improve interoperability further incentivize researchers publish well-described datasets, we...
The effect of different concentrations (0.1-1.0 mg/L) cytokinin BA (6-benzylaminopurine) and auxin IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) on the in vitro propagation amount secondary metabolites accumulation as well their antioxidant capacity medicinal plant Lamium album was examined. A slight increase shoot numbers observed Murashige Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 0.8 mg/L when compared to control plants that were propagated regular MS medium. All suppressed root formation stimulated...
Communication of research findings is the last and arguably most influential step scientific process. This especially true for biodiversity science, in which new species descriptions introduction taxonomic names happens through publication, as governed by International Codes. Despite strict rules naming taxa revising existing nomenclatures within scholarly literature, there no system keeping track these changes information often remains locked text thousands scattered journal articles. talk...
The BiCIKL project is born from a vision that biodiversity data are most useful if they presented as network of can be integrated and viewed different starting points. BiCIKL’s goal to realise by linking infrastructures, particularly for literature, molecular sequences, specimens, nomenclature analytics. To make those links we need better understand the existing their limitations, nature hold, services provide how interoperate. In light aims, in autumn 2021, 74 people community engaged total...
ABSTRACTThe genus Lamium L. (Lamiacea) comprises about 40 species of annuals and perennials distributed in Europe, Asia Africa. album possesses astringent, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic bacteriostatic properties. The effect auxin IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) on micropropagation has been investigated. On IBA-supplemented MS medium all concentrations stimulated the length shoots, average number leaves roots. did not influence callusogenesis dry weight vitro propagated plants. To...
One of the major challenges in biodiversity informatics is generation machine-readable data that interoperable between different biodiversity-related infrastructures. Producers such have to comply with existing standards and be resourceful enough enable efficient generation, management availability. Conversely, nanopublications offer a decentralised approach (Kuhn et al. 2016) towards achieving interoperability robust standarized way. A nanopublication named RDF graph, which serves...
