Abstract. A new carbon supported Pt (Pt/C(b)) catalyst was prepared by reducing H2PtCl6 in glycol solution using formic acid as a reducing agent, and has been found in this work to be highly active and stable for the electrochemical oxidation of ethanol. The preparation produces highly dispersed Pt particles, of 2.6 nm average size, and with high electrochemical surface area, 98 m2/g. The a…
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) crops can be severely damaged due to parasitism by the root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita, but are protected when intercropped with crown daisy (Chrysanthemum coronarium L.). Root exudate may be the determining factor for this protection. An experiment using pots linked by a tube and Petri dish experiments were undertaken to confirm that tomato–crown…
