Abstract LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission primordial cosmology fundamental physics. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) selected LiteBIRD in May 2019 as strategic large-class (L-class) mission, with an expected launch late 2020s using JAXA’s H3 rocket. planned to orbit Sun–Earth Lagrangian point L2, where it will map microwave over entire sky three years, telescopes 15...
Chitosan effects on soil properties were analysed both under laboratory conditions by incubation with constant humidity and temperature field in two persimmon plots conventional ecological management. was applied solution or as coacervates. Application of chitosan reduced pH, conductivity (CE), cation exchange capacity (CEC) pots when at capacity. did not affect respiration, which is greatly dependent moisture temperature. Metabarcoding showed that significantly modifies the fungal genera...
A general response of plants to high soil salinity relies on the cellular accumulation osmolytes, which help plant maintain osmotic balance under salt stress condition and/or act as ‘osmoprotectants’ with chaperon or reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities. Yet ecological relevance this for tolerance mechanisms halophytes in their natural habitats remains largely unknown. In review, we describe and discuss published data supporting participation compatible solutes those...
In their natural habitats, different mechanisms may contribute to the tolerance of halophytes high soil salinity and other abiotic stresses, but relative contribution ecological relevance, for a given species, remain largely unknown. We studied responses changing environmental conditions five (Sarcocornia fruticosa, Inula crithmoides, Plantago crassifolia, Juncus maritimus J. acutus) in Mediterranean salt marsh, from summer 2009 autumn 2010. A principal component analysis was used correlate...
Compartmentalization of toxic ions in the vacuole and accumulation osmolytes cytoplasm is a common response halophytes to high soil salinity. Soluble carbohydrates, such as sugars polyols, are some compatible solutes used for osmotic adjustment osmoprotection. Major carbohydrates were identified quantified by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography, combined with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD), five halophytic species from Mediterranean salt marsh (Juncus acutus, Juncus...
Rice is a staple food in Senegal, which however imports more than 70% of the rice consumed annually to meet its domestic demand. Despite governmental efforts increase self-sufficiency, both supply and yields remain low. Senegalese farmers face challenges related irrigation infrastructure fertiliser access, besides those derived from climate change. This study applies Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) combined with financial Costing (LCC) evaluate alternative scenarios for management Senegal River...
Abstract In Mediterranean ecosystems, special attention needs to be paid forest–water relationships due water scarcity. this context, Adaptive Forest Management (AFM) has the objective establish how forest resources have managed with regards efficient use of water, which maintaining healthy soil properties even after disturbance. The main investigation was understand effect one AFM methods, namely thinning, on hydraulic properties. At aim, characterization performed two contiguous oak plots,...
Abstract Purpose Mandarin is a relevant citrus crop in Uruguay both terms of yield and area. This study aimed at assessing the environmental impacts mandarin cultivation country to identify hotspots. Temporal variability assessed by considering six harvest seasons site specificity developing regionalized inventory using Tier 3 estimate nitrogen on-field emissions. Also, effect regionalizing specific impact categories analyzed. Methods A cradle-to-farm gate assessment was carried out based on...
1. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H7N3) viruses have continued to circulate in Mexican poultry since their initial identification the summer of 2012. Although several control strategies been implemented, virus has spread states, causing enormous economic losses commercial sector. Important factors ensure vaccine potency include a close match between antigen and circulating strains using sufficient protect birds prevent shedding during subsequent infections.2. The following study...
Abstract Saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, K s , data collected by ponding infiltrometer methods and usual experimental procedures could be unusable for interpreting field hydrological processes particularly rainfall infiltration. The values determined an experiment carried out applying water at a relatively large distance from the surface however more appropriate to explain runoff generation phenomena during intense events. In this study, link between simulation experiments was...
Gypsum habitats represent a stressful environment for plants, combining aridity, limited nutrients and salt toxicity in the soil. Si nce different abiotic stress conditions cause oxida tive by generation of 'reactive oxygen species' ( ROS), activation antioxidant systems is considered as one general mechanisms resp onse to plants. The levels total phenolic compounds flavonoids, well-known antioxidants, were determined several species from gypsum area Valencia, SE Spain, t o study their...
Thinning is a practice that reduces competition for available soil resources, thereby promoting vegetation growth and affecting soil, which involved in important ecosystem processes. Soil quality directly influenced by various aspects such as ground cover, regional climate, local microclimate, can further be modified forest thinning. In this study, the effect of tree thinning climate on microbiological enzymatic properties was investigated an Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis M.) more than...
Generic skills need to be developed by university students prepare them for lifelong learning. Higher education institutions play a key role in developing appropriate strategies competences-based approach with learning activities defined terms of knowledge and skills. Although current assessments focus on individual grading, skill acquisition require social context. This paper proposes that generic can, should, from year 1 at through active methods. The assessment competences relies the...
