The impact of large-scale land-acquisition in East Africa on poverty reduction and the rural economy: Studies in Ethiopia and Uganda
(2017-02-28)
There is an increasing interest of acquiring farmland abroad, especially following the food price crisis in 2007/08. East Africa is a hotspot of activities, and given the high prevalence of poor people in the area, impacts ...
The Impact of Public Policies on Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
(2017-07-03)
Between 2000 and 2012, 2.3m sq. kilometers of tree cover, equivalent to 6.4 times the size of Germany, were lost globally due to land cover change. Forest loss often comes with significant social and environmental costs. ...
Conceptualizing the concept of disaster resilience: a hybrid approach in the context of earthquake hazard: case study of Tehran City, Iran
(2017-05-19)
From the natural perspective, disaster resilience is defined as the ability of a system or community to resist, mitigate, respond, and recover from the effects of hazards in efficient and timely manner. How urban communities ...
Genetic and molecular analysis of drought stress adaptation in cultivated and wild barley
(2020-10-07)
Drought tolerance breeding is an integral part of modern-day agriculture for sustained crop production. In this study, we employed forward and reverse genetics tools to understand and improve drought stress adaptation in ...
Hyperspectral in-field sensing of foliar diseases of wheat
(2020-12-10)
The major aim of this work was to prove the suitability of hyperspectral sensors for the detection of foliar diseases of wheat under field conditions. Hyperspectral sensors, measurement protocols and analysis methods were ...
Interactive tillage & crop residue management effects on soil properties, crop nutrient uptake & yield in different weathered soils of West Africa: measurements, modelling & scenario simulations
(2020-04-22)
Sustainable crop production intensification in West Africa is hampered by constraints such as soil degradation, mainly due to excessive mining of soil nutrients, topsoil loss by surface runoff, and climatic factors like ...
Effect of cow’s metabolic status on the epigenome profile of oocytes and embryos
(2020-01-07)
In lactating cows, intensive genetic selection for improved milk production has been associated with reduced reproductive capacity, leading to increased early embryo loss. During post-calving lactation, the cow’s dietary ......

Acute impact of dietary pattern and walking on postprandial metabolism, attention, and mood in older adults with a cardiovascular disease risk phenotype
(2020-01-27)
Attenuating the postprandial stress response and its associated inflammatory and endothelial events through specific nutritional and lifestyle interventions seems to be a promising and important approach to decrease the ......
Die Abschwächung der postprandialen Stoffwechselreaktionen durch spezifische Ernährungs- und Lebensstilmaßnahmen stellt einen vielversprechenden und wichtigen Forschungsansatz dar, welcher insbesondere für Personen mit ......
