Analysis of fruit and vegetable supply, demand, diet quality and nutrition in Uzbekistan
(2017-12-12)
In Uzbekistan, per capita national supply of fruit and vegetables exceeds the daily recommended amount of 400 grams by more than two times. Nevertheless, individual-level intakes remain inadequate due to the strong seasonal ...
Water, Sanitation and Agriculture: Linkages and Impacts on Health and Nutrition Outcomes in Rural Ethiopia
(2017-08-03)
In rural areas access to improved water supply is inadequate; consequently, most households rely on unimproved water sources, including unprotected wells/springs, streams, and surface water, which are easily polluted by ...
Transcriptional profiling of mRNAs, microRNAs and mitochondrialnuclear crosstalk in porcine muscle fibers, mitochondrial respiratory and metabolic enzyme activities
(2017-11-22)
Skeletal muscle is a highly metabolically active tissue and has market value in meat-producing farm animals. The overall aim of this thesis is to deeply investigate the biological functions and pathways associated with ......

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 ......

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)
