BACKGROUND The increasing trend in the incidence of primary malignant brain tumors in orchard farmers and their families in Kashmir. AIM To determine the relationship between the patients of primary malignant brain tumors and their occupation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospectively, case files along with death certificates of 432 patients of primary malignant brain tumors and 457 controls (n...

Respected on both sides of the Atlantic for questioning the tenets underlying the pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications, Trevor Orchard continues to influence the fields of epidemiology and medicine. With a self-effacing style that might be described as typically British, he remains provocative and prominent among the research community. An Englishman educated in Wales and living in...

Water scarcity is increasing in the Mediterranean and alternative sources of water are needed to meet food production needs, protect environment reduce effects climate change. Currently, many urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) produce high volumes treated effluents which can be an source for agriculture irrigation, since they fulfill quality requirements crops environment. This work analy...

A new satellite-enabled interoperable service has been developed to provide high spatiotemporal and continuous time series of Growing Degree Days (GDDs) at the field. The GDDs are calculated from MSG-SEVIRI data acquired by EUMETCast station operated IAASARS/NOA downscaled on-the-fly increase initial coarse spatial resolution original 4–5 km 1 km. performance SENSE-GDD, in deriving reliable GDD...

Coniferous seed orchards require a long period from initial seed harvest to stable seed production. Differential reproductive success and asynchrony are among the main factors for orchard crops year-to-year variation in terms of parental gametic contribution and ultimately the genetic gain. It is fundamental in both making predictions about the genetic composition of the seed crop and decisions...

This paper considers the economic and environmental impacts of emerging regional commerce that accompanied the rise and collapse of early Near Eastern urbanism. We integrate regional data on settlement and vegetation with detailed evidence of rural agriculture from two Bronze Age villages in the Jordan Valley. This approach is explicitly rural, in light of the largely rural character of Levanti...

Orchard meadows, a traditional agroforestry system in Switzerland combining the dual use fruit and fodder production, are declining, even though farmland managed under agri-environmental schemes (AES) has been expanding. Despite increasing interest research for developing sustainable agriculture, it is poorly understood how subsidies contribute to maintenance of trees on agricultural land promo...

Malaysia's agricultural activity is progressing toward the use of precision agriculture and Internet Things (IoT) technology as country moves forward with adoption Industrial Revolution 4.0. As a result, novel approach based on spatial thermal analysis proposed presented, along low-cost photogrammetric modelling workflow. purpose this project to monitor durian orchards using drones equipped red...

In 1918 Pólya formulated the following problem: “How thick must the trunks of the trees in a regularly spaced circular orchard grow if they are to block completely the view from the center?”(Pólya and Szegő [2]). We study a more general orchard model, namely any domain that is compact and convex, and find an expression for the minimal radius of the trees. As examples, solutions for rhombus-shap...
