Wild pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i>Pisum sativum L. subsp. <i>elatius</i> (Bieb.) Aschers. et Graebn. s.l.) at the periphery of its range: Zagros Mountains by O. E. Kosterin, V. S. Bogdanova, A. V. Mglinets

“…These peas appeared to belong to the evolutionary lineage B, recognised by us earlier in P sativum as opposed to the so-called lineage AC. They contain a unique non-conservative substitution in subtype 5 of histone H1 and turned to be most related to some wild pea accessions originating from southern and south-eastern Turkey and Golan Heights. …”

Production of ferric ammonium sulfate (FAS) dodecahydrate from pyrite (FeS2) by Wilson Kobal, Rachel A. Pepper, Jose A. Alarco, Wayde Martens, Sara J. Couperthwaite

“…The primary aim of this work was to investigate the recovery of Fe and S from pyrite materials, using acid leaching methods, to produce ferric ammonium sulfate dodecahydrate (FAS; FeNH4(SO4)2·12H2O), which has applications in water treatment, dye industries and metal fabrication. As pyrite samples contain various minerals, the acid leachates contained impurities, such as Al, Ca, Mn, and therefore optimisation studies to produce FAS from pyrite leachates was undertaken based on type of acid, concentration and residence time for leach and crystallisation stages. …”

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) and Anti-C1q Antibodies as Serum Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion by Alexandros Daponte, Efthimios Deligeoroglou, Spyros Pournaras, Christos Hadjichristodoulou, Antonios Garas, Foteini Anastasiadou, Ioannis E. Messinis

“…We assessed whether their measurement could set the diagnosis in a case control study at 6–8 weeks consisting of 60 women with failed early pregnancy (30 EPs, 30 MAs) and 33 women with intrauterine pregnancies. Normal pregnancies contain anti-C1q antibodies more frequently compared to women with failed pregnancies, the lowest levels being found in EPs, but this lacked statistical significance and anti-C1q could not serve as a marker. …”
