Cyclic voltammetry as a method for determining the viability of seeds: a case study on silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) by Magdalena Trusiak, Danuta Zielińska, Paulina Luśnia, Tomasz Mikołajczyk, Marcin Michalak, Beata P. Plitta-Michalak

“…Results Seed deterioration occurred when A. saccharinum seeds with a high moisture content (MC of 45%) were subjected to accelerated aging at 35 °C for up to 14 days. Oxidative stress and antioxidant depletion were monitored by measuring ROS levels, quantifying antioxidants through the Cu2+ reduction reaction (CUPRAC-BCA) and CV, and evaluating the glutathione half-cell reduction potential (EGSSG/2GSH). …”

Predictors of differential PTSD and depression symptom trajectories in firefighters: a growth mixture analysis by Miriam J.J. Lommen, Marcel Näther, Anita C. Keller

“…Although most firefighters will demonstrate resilience after trauma exposure, others develop symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depressive symptoms. Insight in psychological predictors of these differential trajectories might inform the development of prevention programmes.Objective: To test the predictive validity of risk and protective factors for longitudinal trends of PTSD and depressive symptoms in firefighters using growth mixture modeling.Method: A total of 529 firefighters were followed for 3 years. …”
