Climate change increases stress levels for crops and affects the economic and environmental aspects of agricultural management systems. The application of stress tolerance-mediating microorganisms is an auspicious strategy for improving crop protection, and as such, we developed a direct selection strategy to obtain cultivable microorganisms from promising bioresources using the bait plants, ma...

Catch crops are an effective method for reducing nitrogen (N) leaching in agriculture, but the mineralization of incorporated catch crop residue N is difficult to predict and model. We conducted a five-month incubation experiment using fresh from three (hairy vetch, fodder radish ryegrass) with temperature treatments (2 °C, 15 °C 2–15 variable temperature) two termination methods (glyphosate un...

Abstract Background Catch crops enhance nutrient cycling of cropping systems. Considering possible limitations catch crop studies in field and greenhouse experiments, a new approach was chosen to combine the advantages both systems quantifying potential for retention by crops. Aims This study aimed at identifying N, P, K uptake different species grown monoculture as mixture under non‐limiting g...

This article analyses the development of competitive party politics in post-communist East Central Europe from a comparative perspective. The central concerns are party system stabilisation and change in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and implications for comparative theory. Starting from Lipset and Rokkan’s ‘cleavage model’, the article assesses the relevance of their key va...

non-commercial fish species of shrimp trawls were studied monthly from october 2005 to september 2006 in mahshahr creeks (darvish, doragh, bihad, ghazaleh, ghanam, zangi and patil). the trawl nets had a cod-end mesh size of 24mm. total catch was 6431 individuals weighing 55.5kg, and included 14 species of non-commercial fish species belonging to 14 families. the caught shrimp species were from ...

Hydrodynamically confined flow device technology is a young research area with high practical application potential in surface processing, assay development, and in various areas of single cell research. Several variants have been developed, and most recently, theoretical and conceptual studies, as well as fully developed automated systems, were presented. In this article we review concepts, fa...

The present study aims to recognize dhow prawn trawl by-catch from Hormuzgan coastal waters (Northeast Persian Gulf). Sampling was carried out of 36 hauls by using traditionally wooden dhow among prawn fishing season in 2011. The catch composition consisted of 31.66% target species prawns, mainly banana prawn (Penaeus merguiensis) and 68.34% by-catch. The total by-catch was 4,622.67kg com...
