In the search for new, non-cytotoxic substances for use as flavours and fragrances, isovanillin (1), vanillin (6), 3,4-dimethoxy-styrene read more (11) and veratraldehyde (14) were used as starting materials to access cyclopropanated analogues as well as analogues holding an additional oxirane or thiirane ring.The olfactory examination of the compo
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami caused damages to coastal ecosystems and thus affected the livelihoods of the coastal communities who depend on services provided by these ecosystems.The paper presents a case study on evaluating and mapping the spatial and temporal impacts of the tsunami on land use and land cover (LULC) and related ecosystem service
