Arid and semi-arid lands constitute a large proportion of available agricultural and rangeland in the world. These lands are characterised by low and unreliable rainfall, low land productivity, and low socioeconomic status of the inhabitants. Livestock plays a very significant role in their economies. Leguminous trees and shrubs, which dominate the natural rangelands, are often higher in crude ...

Connectivity is a vital element in landscape structure because of its importance in species–landscape interactions. Connectivity analysis of green spaces in urban landscapes, especially in high-density cities such as Hong Kong, differs from that of habitats in natural or rural landscapes. Using the human being as the target species, we formulated with GIS techniques a resistance weight, a struc...

Very few multi-species or ecosystem comparisons of post-fire vertebrate herbivore activity and food preference exist to inform fire management conservation strategies. We inferred (1–3 years) native introduced attraction six diverse temperate vegetation communities (grassland rainforest) from scat counts. hypothesised that where reduced herbaceous grassy (‘fodder’), herbivores would decline, pr...

Transport of the organic molecule malachite green, across a bilayer of dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol liposome in aqueous Ž . solution, has been observed using a new method, namely second harmonic generation SHG . Following the rapid mixing of liposome and malachite green solutions, a decay of the SHG signal in time is observed as the malachite green bound to the outer liposome surface crosses to...

There were considered the results of experiments with fertilizers, which carried out scientific fertilizers on chernozem chestnut soils arid Volga region. The objects research grain fodder crops (spring barley, oats, sorghum, corn), as well those used for green (sugar corn). It has been established that among mineral leading role in yield increasing forage belongs to nitrogen but not phosphorus...

The study presents the results of a 3-year field trial aimed at assessing yield and quality raw material for ensiling in cultivation three maize varieties differing their agronomic genetic profile, conditioned by selection nitrogen fertilizer. Maize cultivar ES Metronom showed significant advantage over other cultivars when fertilized with UltraGrain stabile, or alternatively Super N-46. applic...

Heparin is an injectable anticoagulant that prevents coagulation. There are presently high and low molecular heparins as well as synthetic pentasaccharide inhibitors. Given its ubiquitous use in sensitive medical states, there is a high concern for safety with this drug. Heparin can induce several distinct immune-mediated reactions. There are several options to consider when heparin allergy occ...

After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our understanding. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be described using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem from the angle of Quantum Information, pro...

Late-preterm newborns accounted for 8.7% of all US births in 2009, while in Italy, according to Euro-Peristat Report 2010, rate of preterm live births between 32 and 36 weeks accounts for 6.4%: therefore late-preterm incidence is around 5% [1]. In the literature is reported that late preterm infants are at increased risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity, including feeding problems, hyperbili...

Agricultural lands for the production of forage crops in area Tuzla canton are limited. The settlement needs cattle feed each and climate zone used types varieties that tolerate restrictions on land climate. voluminous pure culture mixtures. In our not sufficiently advanced species, particular mixtures legumes (vetch fodder peas) with grains quality (green, silage, hay), although there very fav...
