The eddy covariance technique and the cuvette method were used to investigate water use efficiency in an irrigated winter wheat (Triticum asetivum L.)/summer maize (Zea mays L.) rotation system in the North China Plain. ...

Effects of eutrophication on arsenic speciation were studied in eutrophic Lake Kiba and mesotrophic Lake Biwa, Japan. By combining hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry with ultraviolet irradiation, inorganic, ...

Limited precipitation restricts crop yield in the North China Plain, where high level of production depends largely on irrigation. Establishing the optimal irrigation scheduling according to the crop water requirement (CWR) ...

The benzimidazole derivative, triclabendazole is the main drug used against Fasciola hepatica, although its precise mode of action remains to be fully determined. Previous studies have suggested that triclabendazole acts ...

Background: The potential of Origanum syriacum L. to become a cultivated crop in Lebanon rather than being harvested from the wild was investigated at the production, postharvest and economic levels. Three irrigation schemes ...

The clan CD cysteine protease of Schistosoma mansoni (SmAE, also known as Sm32 or schistosome legumain) is an asparaginyl endopeptidase that cleaves C-terminal to asparaginyl (Asn) residues. The enzyme was considered to ...

The analysis of feedback effects between continental surfaces and the atmosphere is a key element in the understanding of African monsoon dynamics. For this reason, the monitoring of surface parameters, in particular soil ...
