Keen lead clean transition while embedding technological innovation and elements justice equitability into envisioned ‘Energy Union’, EU Member States need their citizens board ...

Purpose This paper examines whether farmers' knowledge of the minimum support prices (MSPs) affects farm-gate prices. MSP is guaranteed price for agricultural commodities announced by Government India 24 commodities. Most farmers in prefer to sell their produce at due a small marketable surplus and hence do not directly benefit from MSP. The authors test common argument political discourse that...

the study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the practical year training programme (pytp) farmlands, university of ibadan, south western nigeria. soil arthropods were collected from september, 2010 to february, 2011 in five sampling sites of pytp farmlands using berlese tullgren extracti...

Galling arthropods create plant structures inside which they fi nd shelter. Factors acting on galler diversity are still being discussed, with this fauna considered more diverse in xeric than mesic environments (higrothermic stress hypothesis, HSH), and also in more plant diverse sites. Here we compare galler abundance (N), equitability (E), species richness (S) and composition between adjacent...

The present study reports the phytoplankton abundance, dominance and co-existence relationships in the eutrophic Carpina reservoir, Pernambuco, Brazil. Sampling was carried out at six different depths bimonthly at a single reservoir spanning two climatic periods: dry season (January, September, and November 2006) and rainy season (March, May, and July 2006). Density, abundance, dominance, speci...

The phenotypic diversity of about 200 bacterial strains isolated from soil was compared with the genotypic diversity of the same population. The strains were phenotypically characterized by the API 20B test system. The results of these tests were subjected to cluster analysis, which revealed 41 biotypes at 80% similarity. The five dominating biotypes contained 43% of the strains. The phenotypic...

Galling arthropods create plant structures inside which they find shelter. Factors acting on galler diversity are still being discussed, with this fauna considered more diverse in xeric than mesic environments (higrothermic stress hypothesis, HSH), and also in more plant diverse sites. Here we compare galler abundance (N), equitability (E), species richness (S) and composition between adjacent ...

This paper presents the arguments in favor of government intervention in financing and regulation of health in Brazil. It describes the organizational arrangement of the Brazilian health system, for the purpose of reflection on the austerity agenda proposed for the country. Based on the literature in health economics, it discusses the hypothesis that the health sector in Brazil functions under ...

The present study treated the taxonomic diversity of cereal leaf beetle (Oulema spp.) community subservient to several fields (barley, durum wheat and oats) in Eastern Algeria. From April June, which is appearance period these insects, fauna was weekly sampled using two trapping techniques: entomological net sight hunting method. Spatiotemporal alpha beta this were evaluated by ecological indic...
