Summary. This article is dedicated to the subject of designing additional tools for use with reversible ploughs that cuts and loosens topsoil. The aim reduce power consumption spent soil tillage by using roller cultivators. Methods. Theoretical experimental studies topsoil movement on plough’s wing, mouldboard beyond. Results. Analysis particles falling from top edge moulboard has allowed obtai...

Even when he ploughs such deep furrows as the Schreber case or Freud's own 'Autobiographical Study', he has new lessons to teach us. It is salutary to be reminded, too, that Freud "attributed [Emma Eckstein's] neurosis to masturbation and, following Fliess's 'reflex nasal neurosis' theory, saw the nose as the source of her masturbatory activity". The treatment, as Porter aptly puts it, was "ant...

In this Paper we report on phase resolved I–band optical spectroscopic and photometric observations of Cir X–1 obtained with the Very Large Telescope. The spectra are dominated by Paschen absorption lines at nearly all orbital phases except near phase zero (coinciding with the X–ray dip) when the absorption lines are filled–in by broad Paschen emission lines. The radial velocity curve of the ab...

Rainwater harvesting from Roads For Indigenous Pasture production and improved rural livelihoods in Kitui, Kenya (ROFIP) is an applied research project. It assessed the potential of combining multiple sustainable land management practices, for example native grass reseeding, rainwater roads situ microcatchments to enhance vegetation cover a semi-arid dryland Kenya. Rural earth were used as catc...

Abstract Since the late 1980s, various experiments have been conducted in polymetallic nodule fields of Pacific Ocean to assess potential environmental impacts future mining, specifically two areas: Peru Basin and Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ). Two expeditions, SO242/2 2015 (Peru Basin) SO268/1 + 2 2019 (CCZ), deployed a towed camera system collect imagery from both areas. These expedi...

the erosion in dryland caused decrease in yield and soil quality, especially in slope land with conventional tillage. to investigate effect of tillage and planting methods in slope land on erosion and yield of dryland wheat, an experiment was conducted in 2007 at kermanshah province. the statistical design for this research was strip split plots in rcb (randomized complete blocks) with three re...

Continued population growth in densely populated parts of Sub-Saharan Africa makes it harder for youth to choose agriculture as main source income. We investigate whether near landless can access rented land a used data collected 2016 (from 1138 youths 119 business groups) and 2019 2427 246 groups), five districts Tigray region Ethiopia. find that 42% the had 47% 2019. The average area was 0.66...
