BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE An adequate supply of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) promotes foetal health and development, whereas generally, trans fatty acids (tFA) are considered to negatively interfere with LC PUFA metabolism. Nevertheless, to date, limited data concerning separate trans C18:1, such as t9 and t11, are available for maternal and foetal blood. Therefore, in this study...

Microbial community structure and functions of rhizosphere soil of rice were investigated after applying low and high doses of nitrogenous fertilizer and Phomopsis liquidambari. Average well color development, substrate richness, catabolic diversity and soil enzymes activities varied after applying N-fertilizer and P. liquidambari and were greater in P. liquidambari treated soil than only N-fer...

Agricultural soils are responsible for the majority of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) emissions in the USA. Irrigated cropping, particularly in the western USA, is an important source of N(2)O emissions. However, the impacts of tillage intensity and N fertilizer amount and type have not been extensively studied for irrigated systems. The DAYCENT biogeochemical model was tested using N(2)O, crop yield, s...

Background: Pearl millet can thrive in a wide range of local conditions. In areas where sorghum cannot thrive, pearl is viable alternative. Sorghum and maize can't compete with when it comes to soil moisture utilisation heat tolerance.
 Objectives: Effects nitrogen phosphorus on yield economics millet
 Methods: With the goal studying effect (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Var. ABV - 04 under ...

A well-characterized three-chain peptide [(Col1)2 X T9] from human type III collagen was a rich source of Ehrlich chromogen. The corresponding two-chain peptide [(Col1)2] was not, implying that the Ehrlich chromogen is a trifunctional cross-link. (Col1)2 X T9 also contained pyridinoline, which is not an Ehrlich chromogen. The 7S domain of type IV collagen also contained an Ehrlich chromogen.

We report a case of spinal stenosis with ossification of the thoracic ligamentum flavum in a 53-year-old man with achondroplasia. Neurological signs indicated flaccid paralysis below L1, and the patient was unable to walk. Ossification of the ligamentum flavum was observed at T4/5 and T9 to T12, compressing the thecal sac. Laminectomy of T9 to L1 was performed. At one-year follow-up, the patien...

A field experiment was conducted at the Agriculture Research Farm, Bhagwant University, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, during rabi seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22. There were Ten treatments imposed in chickpea viz., T1- Control, T2- Farmers practice (50 kg DAP ha-1), T3- RDF, T4- FYM @ 10 tha-1, T-5 Vermicompost @5 T6- RDF + 5 T7- T8- 75% FYM@ 2.5 tha-1 1.0 T9- 50% T10- 25% 5.0 tha-1. These evaluated ...

Nitrogen (N) is central to living systems, and its addition to agricultural cropping systems is an essential facet of modern crop management and one of the major reasons that crop production has kept pace with human population growth. The benefits of N added to cropping systems come, however, at well-documented environmental costs: Increased coastal hypoxia, atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O), rea...

Dans le but de soutenir la production du maïs sur un Arenosol, une étude a été conduite pendant première campagne agricole 2016-2017 Arenosol en République démocratique Congo vue d’évaluer les effets des feuilles Tithonia diversifolia, fumier vache, chaux et engrais inorganiques (NPK) rendement rentabilité économique. L’essai conduit suivant dispositif bloc complet randomisé avec dix traitement...
