High temperature and humidity (HTH) stress during soybean seed development and maturity in the field easily leads seed to pre-harvest deterioration. However, how proteins and their involved pathways in developing soybean seed systematically cause deterioration is still not largely understood. To reveal it, we compared the proteome composition of developing seed (R(7) period) of a pre-harvest se...

In biodiversity experiments based on seeded experimental communities, species richness and species composition exert a strong influence on canopy structure and can lead to an improved use of aboveground resources. In this study, we want to explore whether these findings are applicable to agriculturally managed permanent grassland. Vertical layered profiles of biomass, leaf area (LA) and light i...

We describe a cutting plane algorithm for an integer programming problem that arises in forest harvest scheduling. Spatial harvest scheduling models optimize the binary decisions of cutting or not cuttin...

Harvest data often are used to model deer (Odocoileus sp.) population growth and evaluate harvest strategies. Understanding factors that may influence harvest-reporting rates among methods of data collection is important in assessing the reliability of harvest data. Our objectives were to compare deer harvest-reporting rates over a 3-year period between mail-in archery-kill report cards (AKRC) ...

wheat is one of the most important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. more than 50 percent of energy is provided by bread in the developing countries. the aim of this study was measuring wheat losses during pre-harvest and harvest stages in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province of iran in year 2013. wheat losses at harvest stages were measured to wheat varieties in 2 levels of omid...

Questions In Mediterranean-type systems, invasive C3 annual grasses appear early in the season and can pre-empt resources attain a competitive dominance over native perennial grasses. Here, we investigated whether planting C4 (a) combined, so that are extracted longer period, or (b) at higher density would make planted communities more against species. Location Para Woodlands Reserve, near Adel...

INTRODUCTION Food availability and access are strongly affected by seasonality in Ethiopia. However, there are little data on seasonal variation in Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and malnutrition among 6-23 months old children in different agro-ecological zones of rural Ethiopia. METHODS Socio-demographic, anthropometry and IYCF indicators were assessed in post- and pre-harve...

Sawmills require specific information on the volume, the number and the diameter classes of different types of log assortments that could potentially be cut from a stand which the mill intends to tender for or harvest. Knowledge of the consequences of adopting a particular cross-cutting strategy would also enable mills to identify the optimum combination of products to be harvested from a stand...
