In this study the impacts of different agricultural policies on agricultural production and nutrient leaching from agricultural lands are evaluated using the economic DREMFIA agricultural sector model and a field scale nutrient transport model ICECREAM. DREMFIA includes an evolutionary scheme of technology diffusion which considers farm investments, evolving farm size structure and technologica...

Aim: To assess the bacteriological quality of ice creams marketed in Thrissur town, Kerala. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven ice cream samples randomly collected from selected retail outlets and street vendors in the town over a period of two months were analyzed for total viable count and for the presence of coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. and Listeria mo...

Climate change impact on phosphorus load is modelled and compared for two Swedish rivers with different characteristics. The modelling was based on the ECHAM4/OPYC3 B2 scenario, downscaled with the RCA3 model and a complementary scaling procedure. Hydrology and phosphorus concentrations were simulated for the time period 1961–2100, using the ICECREAM model for arable leaching, and HBV-NP model ...

Mitochondrial genomes have been useful for inferring animal phylogeny across a wide range of clades, however they are still poorly sampled in some animal taxa, limiting our knowledge of mtDNA evolution. For example, despite being one of the most diverse animal phyla, only 5 complete annelid mitochrondial genomes have been published. To address this paucity of information, we obtained complete m...
