Intra-annual patterns of weather and daily radial growth changes of Norway spruce and their relationship in the Western Carpathian mountain region over a period of 2008-2012

The contribution presents the results of a 5-year (2008-2012) dendroecological research in a Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) clone forest (Northern Slovakia).Due to different climatic and soil moisture conditions in the monitored years, different seasonal courses of stem increment formation were observed using band dendrometers with continu

Ruthenium and iron complexes with benzotriazole and benzimidazole derivatives as simple models for proton-coupled electron transfer systems

Iron and ruthenium complexes of the type [M-LH]n (where M = RuII,III(NH3)5(2+,3+), RuII,III(edta)2-,- [edta = ethylenedinitrilotetraacetate], or FeII,III(CN)5(3-,2-) and LH = benzotriazole or benzimidazole) were prepared and characterized in aqueous solutions by means of electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods.Special emphasis was given
