Neurogenic claudication was first related to lumbar stenosis (Verbiest H, 1954). Since, decompressive surgery was indicated in patients who failed to respond to conservative therapy. It is followed by posterior fusion in cases where the motion segment showed instability or in case where a secondary instability is expected to develop after surgery. However, while many patients have benefited fro...

The paper focuses on conservation agriculture (CA), defined as minimal soil disturbance (no-till, NT) and permanent soil cover (mulch) combined with rotations, as a more sustainable cultivation system for the future. Cultivation and tillage play an important role in agriculture. The benefits of tillage in agriculture are explored before introducing conservation tillage (CT), a practice that was...

Along with the growing up of the Chinese generalized agriculture, the agriculture products logistics demands are increasing quickly in quality and quantity. Oppositely, the service of agriculture products logistics is slowly. It is very essential to study the logistics service mode suited to the tendency of the agriculture products logistics demand. The paper analyzes the common characteristic ...
