Analysis of Water Use and Crop Allocation for the Khorezm Region in Uzbekistan Using an Integrated Hydrologic-Economic Model
(2011-04-20)Sustainable and efficient water management is of central importance for the dominant agricultural sector and thus for the population and the environment of the Khorezm region. Khorezm is situated in the lower Amu Darya ... -
Identification of positional and functional candidate genes for meat and carcass quality in F2 Duroc x Pietrain resource population
(2011-04-06)Five genes, AMBP, GC, PPP1R3B, TNC and IFI6, whose candidacy for meat and carcass quality traits arises from their trait-dependent differential expression and/or trait correlated expression, were selected for analysis. ... -
Association and expression study of CD9, PLCz and COX-2 as candidate genes to improve boar sperm quality and fertility traits
(2011-04-06)The transcription factors tetraspanin CD9 (CD9), phospholipase C zeta (PLCz) and cyclooxygenase isoenzyme type 2 (COX-2) are believed to play a key role in spermatogenesis in rat, mouse and human. However, no study was ... -
Modeling soil erosion and reservoir sedimentation at hillslope and catchment scale in semi-arid Burkina Faso
(2011-08-23)Soil erosion is a major factor of land degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa. The loss of nutrient-rich topsoil from hillslopes causes severe agricultural problems for an extremely vulnerable agricultural society that depends ... -
Evaluation of dual purpose cowpea varieties for dry season feeding of ruminant animals
(2011-03-29)Cowpea is of major importance to the livelihoods of millions of people in the tropics. Resource-poor small-holder farmers derive food, animal feed, cash and manure from the crop. Dual purpose cowpea has the potential to ... -
Inter-organisational innovation processes in the agrifood industry: An approach to improving management support services applied to the meat industry
(2011-03-24)The goal of this study was to develop an approach by which the service portfolios of innovation brokers can be aligned to become customer oriented. In this context the role of the innovation broker was defined as a service ... -
Improving the water productivity of integrated crop-livestock systems in the semi-arid tropics of Zimbabwe: an ex-ante analysis using simulation modeling
(2011-07-11)The semi-arid tropics of Zimbabwe are characterised by low levels of economic activity, high incidence of land degradation and a high concentration of the rural poor. Water scarcity is also a principle constraint, and ... -
Genetic analysis and expression study of candidate genes affecting leg weakness-related traits in pigs
(2011-03-09)Leg weakness (LW) problems are a great concern in the pig industry especially with regard to animal welfare. The present study was carried out to identify chromosome regions and candidate genes affecting LW-related traits ... -
Institutional Vulnerability and Governance of Disaster Risk Reduction: Macro, Meso and Micro Scale Assessment: With Case Studies from Indonesia
(2011-07-14)This PhD research addresses two central questions: How should institutional vulnerability that shapes disaster risks and disaster reduction policy be assessed? How does the quality of institutions and governance influence ... -
Detection, identification, and quantification of fungal diseases of sugar beet leaves using imaging and non-imaging hyperspectral techniques
(2011-02-22)Plant diseases influence the optical properties of plants in different ways. Depending on the host pathogen system and disease specific symptoms, different regions of the reflectance spectrum are affected, resulting in ... -
Non-destructive evaluation of complex interactions between Heterodera schachtii and Rhizoctonia solani on sugar beet as affected by cultivar resistance
(2011-02-08)The beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and Rhizoctonia crown and root rot caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 2-2IIIB were investigated for the presence of synergistic interactions on sugar ... -
Soil organic carbon pools and their spatial patterns: rapid assessment using mid-infrared spectroscopy
(2011-02-09)Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in global C cycling. Until today, the spatial patterns of individual SOC fractions are, however, largely undiscovered as traditional methods for their determination are too ... -
Identification of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and candidate genes associated with water holding capacity in porcine meat
(2011-01-19)Consumer assessment of meat quality is defined by the characteristics of sensory experience such as juiciness, muscle pH, water-holding capacity and colour. Water-holding capacity in terms of drip loss has a genetic as ... -
Nutritional Situation, Functionality and Mortality in Nursing Home Residents: Results of a 12-Month Follow-Up Study
(2011-01-25)The influence of the nutritional status on quality of life, functionality, morbidity and mortality in elderly people has been shown in several studies. Elderly people, especially with functional and cognitive deficits, are ... -
