Poverty and the Deterioration of Natural Soil Capital in the Peruvian Altiplano
The Peruvian altiplano is a marginal agricultural region with limited infrastructure, climate constraints, and high levels of poverty. Data were collected from 265 farms in four different agricultural regions, and data from three of those regions are analyzed here. Regressions were run with soil nutrient loss, soil depth loss, and yield loss over the past 20 years, as perceived by farmers. Loca...
متن کاملModeling pipe deterioration using soil properties – an application of fuzzy logic expert system
Several factors may contribute to the structural failure of cast/ductile iron water mains, the most important of which is considered to be corrosion. The ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5–99 10-point scoring (10-P) method is the most common method used to predict soil corrosivity potential, which is based on soil properties. For a given soil sample, each soil property is evaluated for its contribution towar...
متن کاملStructural Deterioration in Produce: Phospholipase D, Membrane Deterioration, and Senescence
Ripening and senescence are the ultimate phases in the developmental events of fruits that result in the expression of the quality characteristics inherent to the fruit. Although it is difficult to demarcate a dividing point between ripening and senescence, the former can be designated as the quality-developing phase, whereas the latter predominantly involves the loss of quality. Degradation of...
متن کاملDeterioration after mitral valvotomy.
It is now more than ten years since the introduction of mitral valvotomy. The initial results (Baker, Brock, and Campbell 1950; Baker et al., 1952) and a three-year follow-up of the first 45 Guy's cases (Baker et al., 1955) have been published. We now report a larger group of 200 patients followed up for over five years, which allows a more complete assessment of the long-term benefits of mitra...
متن کاملDeterioration of Myocardial Function
Twenty-two patients underwent cardiac catheterization before and an average of five months after aorto-coronary bypass operation (ACBO). Two groups were examined: 10 patients with all grafts patent, and 12 patients with one or more grafts occluded. All patients improved symptomatically, regardless of graft patency. However, in the occluded group, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP) i...
