Coupled biotic-abiotic mechanisms of nitrous oxide production in soils during nitrification involving the reactive intermediates hydroxylamine and nitrite
(2017-11-22)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas that can deplete the ozone layer. Microbial nitrification and denitrification have been long considered as the major contributors of soil N2O production. ...
Helminth antigen-induced innate immune response in porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(2017-12-21)
Helminths are among the gastrointestinal parasites that are responsible for substantial loss of productivity in swine and other livestock industry. Despite indoor intensive rearing with routine anthelmintics, helminth ...
Decision making under risk in agriculture: An experimental and survey based analysis
(2017-11-03)
Risk, and risk management are inherent to agricultural production. We distinguish two categories of factors influencing the farmers’ decision on risk management strategy: external and internal factors. Factors external to ...
Epigenetic and exosome-mediated cell-cell communication in follicular cells and preimplantation embryos
(2017-12-21)
Follicular cells and preimplantation embryos communication with their in vivo or in vitro environments via mechanisms including cell adhesion and extracellular vesicles is crucially essential for normal oocyte and embryo ......
Epigenetische und exosomal-vermittelte Kommunikation von Follikelzellen und präimplantierten Embryonen
Die Kommunikation von Follikelzellen und präimplantativen Embryonen mit ihren in vivo oder in ......
Epigenetische und exosomal-vermittelte Kommunikation von Follikelzellen und präimplantierten Embryonen
Die Kommunikation von Follikelzellen und präimplantativen Embryonen mit ihren in vivo oder in ......
Mainstreaming the ecosystem services approach in strategic environmental assessment of spatial planning in Chile
(2017-10-17)
Spatial planning plays a key role in policy decision-making given its influence on the future changes over the land systems and subsequently on the quality, quantity and spatial distribution of the ecosystem services (ES) ...
Subcellular glutathione homeostasis and characterisation of glutathione transport across the plasma membrane in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2017-12-22)
Challenging environmental conditions are known to alter glutathione homeostasis, notably by inducing the accumulation of oxidized glutathione, an effect that may be influential in the perception or transduction of stress ...
Managing risk under climate change in Kenya: Multiple shocks, poverty, gender, and potential for group-based approaches
(2017-09-14)
Climate change and related shocks are major challenges facing agricultural performance, poverty reduction efforts, and economic growth in developing economies. Managing risks is vital because climate change and shocks lead ...
Systems biology analysis of meat quality in Duroc × Pietrain pigs based on integrated omics approaches
(2017-07-03)
Water holding capacity and drip loss are important commercially interesting meat quality parameters with low heritabilities and complex genetic and metabolic background. The aim of this thesis was the application of different ...
Multiple hazards risk profiling in West Africa: Assessment, Validation and Upscaling
(2017-08-17)
Disasters, particularly recurring small-scale natural disasters of floods and droughts have been affecting West African (WA) communities, impacting particularly weak households. These losses have been significantly high ...
The role of cellular and extracellular MicroRNAs in bovine follicular development and as potential indicators of early pregnancy
(2017-04-06)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of short non-coding RNA molecules, emerged as major regulators of ~60% of all protein encoding genes. These molecules play an important role in mammalian follicular growth and embryonic development ...
