Three dimensional modelling of soil-plant interactions: consistent coupling of soil and plant root systems
(2009-07-10)
To understand how the uptake of water by roots locally affects and is affected by the soil water distribution, 3D soil-root water transfer models are needed. Nowadays, fully coupled 3D models at the plant scale, that ...
An approach to environmental services assessment: functional biodiversity in tropical agroforestry systems (The case of Tomé-Açú, Northern Brazil)
(2009-04-21)
Agriculture is one of the main sources of income in developing countries and at the same time one of the major drivers causing environmental conflicts like loss of biodiversity. Agroforestry, which combines agricultural ...
Prozessbewertung der Osmotischen Destillation zur Entalkoholisierung von Wein
(2009-01-23)
Die Suche nach einer Technologie zur Entalkoholisierung von Wein ist nach wie vor ein aktuelles Thema für die Weinindustrie, obwohl das erste Patent für die Entalkoholisierung von Wein schon vor 100 Jahren eingereicht ...
Einfluss des Konsums von Erfrischungsgetränken auf den Ernährungs- und Gesundheitsstatus von Kindern
(2009-01-23)
In Studien in den USA wurden bei Kindern und Jugendlichen Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Verzehr von Erfrischungsgetränken und der Entstehung von Übergewicht sowie einer Verschlechterung der Ernährungsqualität und des Knochenstatus ...
Environmental Sustainability Analysis of Cashew Systems in North-east Brazil
(2009-02-18)
This study aims to provide a comprehensive insight into the status and development prospects of the cashew farming systems in North-east Brazil, where thousands of small growers depend on cashew production. The smallholder ...
Association mapping for drought stress related traits in a structured population with wild and cultivated barley
(2009-02-16)
Association mapping is an alternative to mapping in a biparental population. A key to successful association mapping is to avoid superior associations by controlling the population structure and the kinship relations.
Modeling Crop and Water Allocation under Uncertainty in Irrigated Agriculture: A Case Study on the Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan
(2009-01-28)
Irrigated agriculture for cotton and wheat production forms the backbone of the rural economy in the Khorezm region. Ecological deterioration and inefficient resource use have resulted in and now present a significant ...
Potential of conservation agriculture for irrigated cotton and winter wheat production in Khorezm, Aral Sea Basin
(2009-02-06)
Intensive tillage of soils leads to their slow but steady degradation. Therefore, scientists and farmers have been turning their attention to a more sustainable development in agriculture based on reduced tillage. Zero and ...
Molecular characterization of porcine genes encoding complement components of the terminal lytic pathway and their association with hemolytic complement activity
(2009-06-02)
Activation of the complement system from three different pathways (classical, alternative and lectin pathway) results in the generation of the C3-convertase enzyme, which plays a key role in formation of the membrane attack ...
Chrom(VI)-Analyse, Chrom(VI)-Belastungen nordrhein-westfälischer Böden und Modellversuche zur Chrom(VI)-Reduktion und Chrom(III)-Oxidation in Böden
(2009-01-28)
Chrom kann aufgrund vielfältiger industrieller Nutzung als Cr(III) und Cr(VI) in Umweltkompartimente wie Böden gelangen. Insbesondere Cr(VI) kann aufgrund seiner hohen Mobilität und Toxizität ein wesentliches Umweltrisiko ...
