Diversified agroecosystem generally sustain wildlife and foster biodiversity conservation because low intensity farming systems mimic attributes of natural systems and thus enhance biodiversity . Wildlife friendly farming include protection of shrub and forest remnants, fallows, crop rotations, grassland strips, low applications of agrochemicals, among others . Most formal scientific knowledge on wildlife friendly agriculture emerged in…

All farms within a county that is considered irrigated are pooled in the regression equation. The problem with this approach is that water rights can vary considerably on a sub-county level. More fundamentally, in irrigated areas the water input comes from groundwater or from precipitation falling elsewhere, and local precipitation is not a valid measure of…

Some evidence in this table also appeared in the decomposition tables; in particular, a 1 percent decline in the price of agricultural materials would be expected to reduce total costs by eTC,pMA = -.254% , and increase MA demand by eMA,pMA = 1.137% . The expected reduction in total cost can in turn be decomposed from…

Emissions from land use change immediately preceding cattle ranching is the source of the vast bulk of GHG emissions that these studies assign to cattle systems. This approach does not address how much of this land use change would have occurred in absence of the cattle production. Our approach sidesteps this attribution problem by simulating…

Cassman and Connor also suggested that high YRRs were an artefact of contrasting intensified organic management with resource-constrained subsistence agriculture in developing nations. Further critique focused on the application of unbalanced nutrient application rates where organic systems receive organic manure but conventional crops do not, and on the need to quantify the effect of caloric yield per…

If no other disturbances occur, however, these payments and trade deficits will be eliminated over time without any major real consequence. The initial adjustment of the balance of payments represents mostly a portfolio-composition move, operating through the capital account, while the subsequent adjustment represents mostly a move to reduce the portfolio size, operating through the…

The relative failure of Punjab to transition from agriculture to industry or to modern services means that the state still faces a major challenge in effecting this classical structural transformation needed for growth. This failure has been a major reason in the state’s decline toward the middle of the per capita income rankings of India’s…

The basal layers of the epidermis are most likely still attached to the dermis while portions of the apical layers may detach. For visualization of the epidermis, a nuclear stain is helpful in observing this since dense nuclei is a characteristic of lower and mid layers of the epidermis. Confocal imaging of the VHSE post-fixation…

Generally basins with the least impairments had the best calibrations, with the exception of basins in the volcanics in the upper Klamath River basin. Generally calibration and performance results for the BCM were satisfactory in basins throughout the state with both unimpaired and impaired basins providing close matches of estimated basin discharge to measured stream flow.…

The toughness of SWCNT was estimated to be 770 J/g and MWCNT to be 1270 J/g. As a carbon allotrope, CNT like diamond and graphite is a very good conductor of heat. However, due to technological shortcomings associated with experimental measurements on a nanoscale, the direct and quantitative measurements of thermal conductivity of CNT individually…
