Invasive species are often favoured in fragmented, highly-modified, human-dominated landscapes such as urban areas. Because successful invasive urban adapters can occupy habitat that is quite different from that in their original range, effective management programmes for invasive species in urban areas require an understanding of distribution, habitat and resource requirements at a local scale...

BACKGROUND Mushrooms are the only non-animal food source of vitamin D. Wild mushrooms have naturally high vitamin D(2) content, and cultivated mushrooms produce vitamin D(2) from ergosterol when exposed to supplementary UV-B during the post-harvest phase. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effects of providing supplementary UV-B during the growth phase on vitamin D(2) formation and the in...

BACKGROUND Trends in the nutritional status for developing countries that are undergoing rapid economic growth indicate a decrease in protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) with an associated rise in obesity prevalence. OBJECTIVE This paper analyses how supplementary feeding programmes may contribute to rising obesity trends, what factors may explain this phenomenon, and potential strategies to av...

two-year experiments was conducted to find the effect of value and times of supplementary irrigation on water requirement and yield production of three new wheat cultivar namely (‘w33g’, ‘cross alborz’ and ‘bahar’) in three replicate randomized complete block factorial experiments since 2009-11. experiments were performed at the campus of agriculture and natural resources of razi university lys...

BACKGROUND Since 2009, millions of people have been forced to live under food shortage by the continuous drought in Southwestern China.
