Ammonia (NH 3 ) emission inventories are required for modelling atmospheric NH 3 transport and estimating downwind deposition. A recent inventory for UK agriculture, estimating emission as 197 kt NH 3 }N yr~1, was constructed using 1993 statistical and census data for the UK. This paper describes the derivation of the UK-based emission factors used in the calculation of that emission for a rang...

An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold α > 0 such that |∆(E)| & q whenever |E| & q, where E ⊂ Fq , the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field with q elements (not necessarily prime). Here ∆(E) = {(x1 − y1) 2 + · · ·+ (xd − yd) 2 : x, y ∈ E}. The second listed author and Misha Rudnev ([4]) established the threshold d+1 2 , an...

This paper presents data from the first part of a major project designed to investigate the micromorphology of cultivated soils. In particular, the initial phase of the project is concerned with an investigation into methods for the identification and quantification of cultivation features in soil thin sections using image analysis techniques. In 1993 a range of soil samples of known cultivatio...

Infection with Moniezia benedeni is sometimes found in confined cattle in Japan. Between October 2011 and January 2013, we monitored the fecal egg prevalence at a confined cattle farm in Miyazaki prefecture where continuous M. benedeni infection has been recognized for years to evaluate the possible infection routes. Fecal egg prevalence changed seasonally with the highest in October 2011 (27.3...

A field experiment was carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons in Agriculture farm, Sebha University, Libya to study the response of some safflower varieties(S , Giza and Dem ) to fertilization by 350 1 137 farm yard manure (FYM) combination with mineral nitrogen fertilizers (0 ton FYM+105 kg N, 1.538 ton FYM +95kgN, 3.076 ton FYM +85 kg N, 4.614 ton FYM + 75 kg N, 6.152 ton FYM + 65...

Abstract Media coverage of migrant and refugee camps often concerns not everyday life in camps, but violence or a camp's outright destruction. These portrayals risk inscribing into public memory as sites danger criminality, vulnerability without agency. What methods engaging with aftermath its representation might enable more complex understandings the reality camps? We engage camp site inscrip...

The authors examined factors related to participation in walking, gardening or yard work, and sports or exercise in 686 community-dwelling adults 60-95 years of age from Wave IV of the population-based Americans' Changing Lives Study. Logistic regression revealed that male gender, being married, and better functional health were associated with greater likelihood of participating in gardening o...

The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is a common component of fitness assessments of older adults; however, differing course configurations might affect 6MWT performance. It is unclear how comparable 2 different configurations are. To determine the comparability of 2 courses, 35 adults >65 years of age completed two 6MWT, once walking around a 20- by 5-yd outdoor rectangle and once on an indoor oval trac...

Lameness is one of the most pressing issues within the dairy industry; it has severe economic implications while causing a serious impact on animal welfare. A study conducted approximately 10 years ago found the within farm lameness prevalence in the UK to be 36.8%. Our objective here is to provide an update on within farm lameness prevalence in the UK, and to provide further evidence on farm l...

In a container terminal, containers unloaded from a ship are moved to the yard during the import operation. The export operation is the reverse of the import process. When a ship is served by multiple shore-cranes having both loading and unloading activities at the same time, a yard-machine can process an import container and an export container in one single round-trip. This paper investigates...
