A field experiment was conducted during two successive seasons 2010 and 2011 to determine the influence of rabbit manure rats( 5,10 and 15 m / fed.) and bio-fertilizers. The biofertilizer used was Bacillus sirculans (B.S) (used as seedlings inoculants) and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAM) (used as soil inoculants) and their interactions on periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus , L. G. Don...

This article presents a technique for performing vulnerability assessments, using measures of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Historically, vulnerability assessments have focused on analyzing the hazard itself, absent information on its causes and mitigations. The vulnerability assessment method VAM , presented herein, acquires data and information from affected stakeholders to as...

Bioassays relying on magnetic read-out using probe-tagged magnetic nanobeads are potential platforms for low-cost biodiagnostic devices for pathogen detection. For optimal assay performance it is crucial to apply an easy, efficient and robust bead-probe conjugation protocol. In this paper, sensitive (1.5 pM) singleplex detection of bacterial DNA sequences is demonstrated in a portable AC suscep...

The influence of VAM fungi and bacterial biofertilizer (BBF) with 50% reduction in the recommended dose of (N and P) chemical fertilizers on leaf quality traits of mulberry variety (S-13) and its impact on silkworm (PM ? NB4D2) growth and cocoon characters were studied under semi-arid conditions. Four different treatments were imposed i.e., T1: Control (only 100% NPK); T2: VAM (50% cut in P); ...

We test the impact of a reciprocal adult labor program, Ajuda Mútua (AM), on child and schooling. AM was introduced into province Nampula in Mozambique, an area where farm production relies labor, potentially due to financial market failures. Using difference differences, we estimate that reduces by eight percentage points. argue providing low-cost increasing productivity. benchmark results aga...

Cleft Palate (CP) assessments based on phonetic transcription are the "gold standard" therapy outcome measure, despite reliability difficulties. Here we propose a novel perceptual evaluation, applied to ultrasound-visual biofeedback (U-VBF) therapy and therapy using visual articulatory models (VAMs) for two children with repaired submucous CP. Three comparisons were made: post VAM, post U-VBF a...

in order to understanding of the vam effects on functions and nutrition of the corn, a research was conducted in agricultural research center of safi abad, khouzestan. the experiment was carried out based randomized complete block design at four replications. the treatments contain mycorrhiza fungi and phosphorous includes: a: phosphorus according to soil test. b: vam + phosphorus according to ...
