By using classified agricultural software products registered during last 15 years from 1994 to 2009, the author analyzed data and statistics in order to look at growth in number of the agro-software packages, their application areas, and research and development organizations, as well as their contribution to the agricultural IT industry in China. Based on the analysis, the article also assess...

The inter-relationship between agriculture and industry has been a long debated issue in most of the developing countries. In the Indian context, the issue has acquired interest since the industrial stagnation of the mid 1960s. Over the years the Indian economy has undergone a structural change in its sectoral composition: from a primary agro-based economy during 1970s, the economy has emerged ...

In industrial districts social norms are as important as formal institutions in coordinating actors’ behaviour. While the literature on agro-industrial districts has generally stressed the role of trust, the paper states that power can be as effective as trust in solving coordination problems stemming from contract incompleteness and opportunistic behaviours. The paper presents the results of a...

The aim of this study was to use agro-industrial residues for the production of a halotolerant keratinolyticprotease by Actinobacterium sp. in solid-state fermentation. Among various agro-industrial residues that were evaluated, apple pomace supported maximum protease production (8400 U/g material). The optimum conditions required for enzyme production were a fermentation period of 72 h, 10% (w...

The paper presents the types, forms and frequencies of errors that appear during the process of dosing bulk solids from food industry and agriculture, using volumetric and gravimetric dosing systems. Methods of calculation are described for the experimental dosing stand with vibratory feeding systems. In the end, the article presents examples of errors determined during the experimental work do...

AGRO100 (also known as AS1411) is a G-rich oligonucleotide that has long been established as a potent anti-cancer aptamer. However, the structure of AGRO100 remained unresolved, due to the co-existence of multiple different G-quadruplex conformations. We identified a DNA sequence named AT11, derived from AGRO100, which formed a single major G-quadruplex conformation and exhibited a similar anti...
