Synthesis of 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes and their antiprotozoal activities (Publications)
Several bicyclic compounds, 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes, have been prepared. The new compounds were tested for their activities against one strain of the causative organism of Malaria tropica, Plasmodi
Use of sap flow measurements to validate stomatal functions for mature beech (<em>Fagus sylvatica</em>) in view of ozone uptake calculations (Publications)
For a quantitative estimate of the ozone effect on vegetation reliable models for ozone uptake through the stomata are needed. Because of the analogy of ozone uptake and transpiration it is possible t
