Applying CRISPR/Cas in sorghum can facilitate the study of gene function and unlock our understanding of this robust crop that serves as a staple for some of the most food insecure regions o... | Abstract Ramirez, R.G., Foroughbackhch, R., Hauad, L., Alba-Avila, J., Garcia-Castillo, C.G. and Espinosa-Vazquez, M. 2001. Seasonal dynamics of dry matter, crude protein and cell wall digestion in total plant, leaves and stems of common buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris). J. Appl. Anim. Res., 19: 209–218.

Forecasting agrobiological properties of wheat straw with different additives-multiple regression models including chemical parameters | Abstract The agrobiological properties of 37 composts prepared from wheat straw with a series of organic or mineral additives have been determined through standard chemical analyses and greenhouse experiments with soils of different carbonate content and in the presence, or absence of mineral fertilization. Plant yield... | This paper details the development of a simplified MRP through the equation of Leontief (linear algebra), and proposes its teaching in three parts a) data collection and recognition of the relationship between materials, b) a list of variables and mathematics explanation, c) obtaining results and verifying them by soft... | eng_Latn | 9,698 |
Pulmonary Infarct Secondary to Dirofilaria Larvae | Dirofilaria is the generic name for long filiform nematodes that commonly infect dogs and other mammals. In Dirofilaria immitis infection, the adult parasite lodges in the right ventricular cavity and/or the pulmonary arteries and gives rise to circulating microfilaria. Despite its frequency in domesticated dogs, D imm... | ABSTRACTMany surface soils in Japan may experience more frequent and intense drying–rewetting (DRW) events due to future climate changes. Such DRW events negatively and positively affect microbial biomass carbon (MBC) through microbial stress and substrate supply mechanisms, respectively. To assess the MBC immediately ... | eng_Latn | 9,699 |
