By a ternary structure we mean an ordered pair $(U_0, T_0)$, where $U_0$ is a finite nonempty set and $T_0$ is a ternary relation on $U_0$. A ternary structure $(U_0, T_0)$ is called here a directed geodetic structure if there exists a strong digraph $D$ with the properties that $V(D) = U_0$ and \[ T_0(u, v, w)\quad \text{if} \text{and} \text{only} \text{if}\quad d_D(u, v) + d_D(v, w) = d_D(u, w) \] for all $u, v, w \in U_0$, where $d_D$ denotes the (directed) distance function in $D$. It is proved in this paper that there exists no sentence ${\mathbf s}$ of the language of the first-order logic such that a ternary structure is a directed geodetic structure if and only if it satisfies ${\mathbf s}$.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the international journal Photosynthetica in 2017 we briefly report on the establishment of this journal and on Dr. Zdeněk Šesták, the renowned researcher of photosynthesis processes who, in cooperation with the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, founded this essential science journal in Prague in 1967., H. K. Lichtenthaler., Obsahuje bibliografii, and Ozvláštněné číslování stránek článku 1-6. teprve na ně se napojuje pokračování stránkování navazující na 1. číslo časopisu
