Groundwater level effects on greenhouse gas emissions from undisturbed peat cores by Erne Blondeau, Gerard L. Velthof, Marius Heinen, Rob F.A. Hendriks, Anneke Stam, Jan J.H. van den Akker, Monne Weghorst, Jan Willem van Groenigen

“…Groundwater level (GWL) management has been proposed to mitigate peat oxidation, but may lead to increased emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4).The aim of this experiment was to study trade-offs between greenhouse gas emissions from peat soils as a function of GWL. We incubated 1 m deep, 24 cm diameter undisturbed bare soil cores, after removal of the grass layer, from three contrasting Dutch grassland peat sites for 370 days at 16 °C. …”

Modern treatment for extremities border-line burns by S. V. Bogdanov, O. N. Afaunova

“…The essence of this way is that during the first 2-7 days after receiving a boundary burn in the functional zones and zones inclined to scarring formation, we carry out necrectomy to the lower layers of derma and autoplasty, and on other boundary sites with burns we remove fibrous and necrotic pellicle within surface dermal layers to the level of a bleeding layer and on the processed burn area we place a wound covering.Material and Methods. …”
