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 ...

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 ...

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 ......

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Eggshell temperature is a critical factor, which can possibly influence immediate and/or long-term gene transcription and expression. Manipulation of temperature (low 36.8°C and high 38.8°C relative to control 37.8 °C) at ...

A common feature of plants being exposed to diverse forms of environmental stress is the increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both photosynthesis and respiration. Formation of ROS, however, is not ...

Prediction of soil moisture changes on large scales is of various interests with regard to water resources management. Within this PhD work, different Magnetic Resonance (MR) concepts/apparatus and sequences were applied ...
