Bagherzadeh A., Paymard P. (2015): Assessment of land capability for different irrigation systems by parametric and fuzzy approaches in the Mashhad Plain, northeast Iran. Soil & Water Res., 10: 90–98. Water quality and quantity in agricultural systems of arid and semiarid regions of the world are of great importance. In this regard the trend to pressurized irrigation systems compared to surface...

Within an algebraic analysis approach, the purpose of the paper is to constructively solve the following problem: given two fixed multidimensional linear systems S1 and S2, parametrize the multidimensional linear systems S which contain S1 as a subsystem and satisfy that S/S1 is isomorphic to S2. In order to study this problem, we use Baer’s classical interpretation of the extension functor and...

Growing cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) in an agroforestry system generates a productive use of the land, preserves the best conditions for physical, chemical and biological properties of tropical soils, and plays an important role in improving cacao production and fertility of degraded tropical soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two long term agroforestry systems of cacao ma...

We study the discrete-to-continuum limit of the helical XY S -spin system on the lattice Z . We scale the interaction parameters in order to reduce the model to a spin chain in the vicinity of the Landau-Lifschitz point and we prove that at the same energy scaling under which the S -model presents scalar chirality transitions, the cost of every vectorial chirality transition is now zero. In add...

The unique myosin binding protein-c "motif" near the N-terminus of myosin binding protein-C (MyBP-C) binds myosin S2. Previous studies demonstrated that recombinant proteins containing the motif and flanking regions (e.g., C1C2) affect thin filament movement in motility assays using heavy meromyosin (S1 plus S2) as the molecular motor. To determine if S2 is required for these effects we investi...
