in order to evaluate the effects of wastewater irrigation on sugar content and morphological traits of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.), an experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research station in shahrekord university in 2013. the treatments consisted of irrigation with urban wastewater at 2-4 and 8-12 leaf stages, and ...

Improved sources of home-grown protein are required to substitute for animal proteins and soyabean meal in ruminant feeds. The present dominance of grassland feeds for protein supply in Britain is highlighted and possibilities for increasing microbial protein (MP) supply on grass-based diets are considered. There are particular opportunities for improving MP supply and animal performance from t...

Information on quality characteristics of forage species help the range managers to select a suitable grazing program that minimizes the damages to vegetation. Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC) -the main photosynthetic products- are stored in various plant parts and are more likely to be consumed when plants require them. In order to investigate the changes of WSC in distinguishable organs in t...

objective: many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. thus agronomic package must be always modified. this sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at dorud region of iran, during 2013. methods: the experimental design...

Aphids feed on plant phloem sap, rich in sugars but poor in essential amino acids. However, sugars cause osmotic regulation problems for aphids, which they overcome by hydrolysing the sugars in their gut and polymerising the hydrolysis products into oligosaccharides, excreted with honeydew. Aphids harbour primary bacterial endosymbionts, which supply them with essential amino acids necessary fo...

BACKGROUND Workplace social capital (WSC) is an emerging topic among both work environment professionals and researchers. We examined (i) whether high WSC protected against risk of long-term sickness absence (LTSA) in a random sample of the Danish workforce during a 1-year follow-up and (ii) whether the association of WSC with sickness absence was modified by occupational grade.  METHODS We m...

OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to examine the buffering effect of workplace social capital (WSC) on the association of job insecurity with psychological distress in Japanese employees. METHODS 2,971 employees from two factories of a manufacturing company in Japan completed a self-administered questionnaire including the scales on job insecurity, WSC, psychological distress, demographic an...

Our current study investigated how workplace social capital (WSC) mediates and moderates the associations between adverse work characteristics and psychological distress among Japanese workers. We collected cross-sectional data (N=9,350) from a baseline survey of an occupational Japanese cohort study. We focused on individual WSC and considered job demands/control, effort/reward, and two types ...

background and objectives: over the last two decades, a large number of researches have been conducted regarding the importance of nitrogen in sugar beet. this indicate that there were needs to investigate more on nitrogen management to achive higher production and quality because less nitrogen application result in reducing yield and high nitrogen application would increase production costs an...

The Wireless Smart City (WSC), an emerging concept in Smart Grid and Internet of Things, has attracted an increasing number of customers and developers based with its promise of low cost implementation and flexibility. At the same time, the challenges faced with in the field applications hinder the progress of WSC from researches into commercial production. A model based application level auxil...
