This study investigated the influence of stress appraisal and coping on work engagement levels (Absorption, Vigour, and Dedication) of police recruits. Participants were 387 men, ages 20 to 33 yr. (M = 24.1, SD = 2.4), in their last month of academy training before becoming police officers. Partially in support of predictions, work engagement was associated with Stressor control perceived, but ...

In viticulture, knowledge of vineyard vigour represents a useful tool for management. Over large areas, the grapevine vigour is mapped by remote sensing usually with vegetation indices like NDVI. To achieve good correlations between NDVI and other vine parameters the rows of a vineyard must be previously identified. This paper presents an unsupervised classification method for the identificatio...

Competition at elite level can require athletes to perform optimally in extreme environmental conditions. This review focuses on mood responses in such conditions and proposes practical guidelines for those working with athletes. Different environments are considered, including altitude and extreme heat and cold. Performing in extreme heat, cold or at altitude can produce a stress response char...

seed dormancy is a genetically inherited trait whose intensity is modified by the environment during seed development and maturation. in order to study the effect of harvest time on the seed quality and optimum time of sowing to obtain good quality seeds, freshly threshed seeds of ten diverse rice genotypes harvested from six environments were evaluated for seed dormancy and seedling vigour ind...

Background: Blackgram (Vignam ungo L.) is one of the most important legume crops, grown all around world. It used as a vegetable, feed, food and fodder purpose. has lower germination production because its hard outer covering. To improve seedling vigour, priming alters physiological state seed. This change may uniformity, increasing seed vigour or physiology. Primed seeds generate seedlings tha...

Summary The quality and provenance of seed are exceptional importance for the production yield cultivated plants. There numerous tests determination vigour. accelerated ageing test is one most important that provide degree germination preservation longevity in storages. aim this study was to observe effect different methods – organic conventional on vigour maize (variety Rumenka), using test. M...

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mills.) is one of the major grain legume crops grown in the tropics and sub-tropics and accounts for about 5% of world legume production. It is the fifth prominent pulse crop in the world and second most important pulse crop after chickpea in India. India is ranking first having about 90% of the world area and 85% of production. Organic farming in recent years gai...
