Survival and growth of planted tree species are common indices used to evaluate success wetland restoration efforts compensate for losses. Restoration on marginal agricultural lands have typically resulted in less than satisfactory survival desired species. In an attempt determine the effects bottomland hardwood silvicultural methods pioneer species, this study evaluated combinations five mecha...

The kinetics of the extraction of tea seed oil with supercritical CO2 was studied. A kinetic model of the extraction of tea seed oil using supercritical CO2 was developed on the basis of the differential mass balance to simulate the extraction process. The model could simulate the distribution of the solute concentration in CO2 inside the extraction bed as a function of extraction time and heig...

Abstract Active grassland restoration has gained importance in mitigating the dramatic decline of farmnland biodiversity. While there is evidence that such operations are generally effective promoting plant diversity, little known about effectiveness different methods applied. Restoration can differ intensity seed bed preparation, source and method application. In this systematic literature sea...

the effect of tillage (conventional and zero tillage), crop establishment (raised-bed and flat-bed), and weed management practices (herbicide alone and integrated approach) was studied on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil in soybean–wheat cropping system, at new delhi during 2010–2012. sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four tillage a...

EXAMINATION OF NONSTERILE Preparation of Test Strains PRODUCTS: MICROBIAL Use standardized stable suspensions of test strains or prepare as stated below. Seed-lot culture maintenance techENUMERATION TESTS niques (seed-lot systems) are used so that the viable microorganisms used for inoculation are not more than five passages removed from the original master seed-lot. Grow each of the bacterial ...

Good wound bed preparation is an essential aspect of wound care and effective wound healing. Removal of dead and necrotic tissue either through autolytic or interventional debridement, followed by good exudate management, inhibition of matrix metalloproteases and bacterial bioburden control should allow the chronic wound to process to closure. It is known, still, that wound healing in these cir...
