Algebraic geometry is a mixture of the ideas of two Mediterranean cultures. It is the superposition of the Arab science of the lightening calculation of the solutions of equations over the Greek art of position and shape. This tapestry was originally woven on European soil and is still being refined under the influence of international fashion. Algebraic geometry studies the delicate balance be...

The ecology of virulent strains of Rhodococcus equi on horse farms is likely to influence the prevalence and severity of R. equi pneumonia in foals. This study examined the association between the ecology of virulent R. equi and the epidemiology of R. equi pneumonia by collecting air and soil samples over two breeding seasons (28 farm-year combinations) on Thoroughbred breeding farms with diffe...

There is an emerging need to estimate and verify soil carbon credits attributed to conservation tillage and prairie restoration in the Midwestern U.S. for the developing global carbon market. However, current soil sampling strategies may need to be augmented by empirical modeling to minimize costs while covering larger regions. Models were constructed relating soil bulk density (BD) to soil org...

abstract cadmium is one of the heavy metals with a considerable importance for its potential toxic effects on soil microbial activities and composition. although, the toxic effect of cadmium on soil microbial activities is somewhat well-known, but the extent to which cd affects soil biota depends largely on soil properties and conditions, particularly soil organic matter contents. thus, the aim...

Nowadays, applying soil amendments is one of the most important ways to cope with water shortages and improve soil physical properties. In this regard, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of irrigation water and wheat straw biochar on physical and chemical properties of a sandy loam soil, after harvesting faba bean. The experiment was performed with 5 b...

The implementation of natural and artificial fibers as a stabilization technique for construction materials has developed new trends in the last decade generated functionality. This research evaluates derived from polypropylene element soil reinforcement. These have advantage that they do not biodegradation or oxidation processes, which makes it cost-effective environmentally friendly option. a...
