Machine levelling for the creation or maintenance of ski slopes is a major source disturbance in high elevation ecosystems. Traditional, exogenous seed mixtures can help restoring plant cover and mitigate soil erosion, but they comprise species that are not ecologically adapted to conditions. Here, use local mixtures, harvested at nearby sites, was compared revegetation three machine-graded run...

Seed fat of Madhuca longifolia known as mee fat (MF) has been considered as a potential plant fat for producing fat mixture to simulate the properties of lard. A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of addition of palm stearin (PS) on the solidification behavior of MF to formulate a mixture to become similar in solidification characteristics of lard. Three fat mixtures were prepared by ...

bambara groundnut [vigna subterranea (l.) verdc.] is an indigenous legume crop in africa. it has comparable value to other legumes for food and nutritional security in the continent. however, small-scale farmers continue cultivating unimproved landrace varieties over the production areas in sub-saharan africa. bambara groundnut landraces exist as heterogeneous mixtures of seeds, which typically...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant genotypic mixtures have the potential to increase yield stability in variable, often unpredictable environments, yet knowledge of the specific mechanisms underlying enhanced yield stability remains limited. Field studies are constrained by environmental conditions which cannot be fully controlled and thus reproduced. A suitable model system would allow reproducible exp...

Background Recombinant antibody mixtures represent an important new class of antibody therapeutics as demonstrated by the increasing amount of literature showing that combinations of two or more antibodies show superiority compared to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for treatment of cancer and infectious diseases [1-5]. Sym004, composed of two antibodies targeting non-overlapping epitopes of the e...

Photovoltaics is one of the key technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate neutrality Europe by 2050, which has led to promotion solar parks. These parks can span up several hundred hectares, grassland vegetation usually created between under panels. Establishing species-rich grasslands using native seed mixtures enhance a variety ecosystem services, including poll...

This paper reports on the effects of plant species diversity and sowing method pasture yield quality. Nineteen seed mixtures perennial ryegrass (PR), plantain (Pl), white clover (WC) red (RC) were sown 26 March 2015 at Lincoln University. Four PR, Pl WC repeated with separated in alternate drill rows. Plots grazed by sheep irrigated. After 4 years, a mixture 25% each based count – equivalent to...
