At high latitudes, the climate has warmed at twice the rate of the global average with most changes observed in autumn, winter and spring. Increasing winter temperatures and wide temperature fluctuations are leading to more frequent rain-on-snow events and freeze-thaw cycles causing snow compaction and formation of ice layers in the snowpack, thus creating ice encasement (IE). By decreasing the...

We recently identified the DPY19L2 gene as the main genetic cause of human globozoospermia. Non-genetically characterized cases of globozoospermia were associated with DNA alterations, suggesting that DPY19L2-dependent globozoospermia may be associated with poor DNA quality. However the origins of such defects have not yet been characterized and the consequences on the quality of embryos genera...

soil is a nonrenewable source that needs considerable management to prevent physical deteriorationby erosion and compaction. compacted soil causes low fertility and yield. the purpose of this study isto investigate the effect of viscoelastic properties of soil and to determine important factors oncompaction. furthermore, stress distribution, prediction of soil compaction and simulation of its e...

soil compaction as a global problem and a multi-dimensional and complex process involving the interaction of climate, soil mashyn- plant- known to have a significant economic and environmental impacts and to sustainable agriculture is an intractable problem.for in order to assess compaction effect on nitrogen mineralization process in soil in form of factorial completely randomized design with ...

The effect, of varying the proportion of binder starch paste (SP) and the disintegrant sodium starch glycolate (SSG), on the compaction behavior of wet granulated acetaminophen (ACM) formulations using a fully instrumented rotary tablet press, was studied. Wet granulation formulations were prepared using ACM, SP as binder (equal to 2.5%, 5% or 10% starch concentration), SSG as disintegrant (0%,...

The suitability of the new isomalt grade galenIQ™ 801 for dry granulation and following tableting is evaluated in this study. Isomalt alone, as well as a blend of equal parts with dibasic calcium phosphate, is roll compacted and tableted. Particle size distribution and flowability of the granules and friability and disintegration time of the tablets are determined. Tensile strength of tab...

soil compaction reduces growth of secondary roots, soil aeration and water and mineral uptake by plant, and decreases chlorophyll content as well as root yield and sugar content. hence, the effect of soil compaction on sugar beet yield and sugar content farms determined by penetrometer using 40 plots of 100 m2 in 40 sugar beet field of hamedan, asadabad, malayer and bahar at the depth of 0-80 c...

Organic farming systems still depend on intensive, mechanical soil tillage. Frequent passes by machinery traffic cause substantial soil compaction that threatens soil health. Adopting practices as reduced tillage and organic matter retention on the soil surface are considered effective ways to control soil compaction. In tropical regions, however, the acceleration of soil organic matter decompo...
