Advances in farm animal genomic resources
The history of livestock started with the domestication of their wild ancestors: a restricted number of species allowed to be tamed and entered a symbiotic relationship with humans. In exchange for food, shelter and protection, they provided us with meat, ...
Frontiers2016Pesticides use in gardening areas in Burkina Faso and evaluation of the resulting risk for the operator using the new AOEM proposed by EFSA guidelines
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie
Pesticides are widely used in gardening to maintain high yield, prevent diseases and control pests and rodents. Field surveys conducted in Burkina Faso have underlined the lack of knowledge regarding good agricultural practices and the use of unsuitable an ...
2016Counterpoint: The Musical Analogy, Periodicity, and Rural Urban Dynamics
Every thesis calls for its antithesis, and every revolution prompts a counterrevolution—this takes place within the same generation as well as across intergenerational oscillations (Gassett 1958, Sennett 1974). Enlightenment thinkers were critical of the H ...
Taylor & Francis / CRC Press2014Assessing the spatial dependence of adaptive loci in 43 European and Western Asian goat breeds using AFLP markers
Background During the past decades, neutral DNA markers have been extensively employed to study demography, population genetics and structure in livestock, but less interest has been devoted to the evaluation of livestock adaptive potential through the ide ...
Public Library of Science2014Nanostructured Catalysts for the Continuous Reduction of Nitrates and Bromates in Water
Nanostructured C-based catalysts have been developed to be used in continuously operated (open-flow) reactors for the removal of bromates and nitrates from polluted water. The catalysts contain transition-metal (Pd, Cu, and Sn) nanoparticles (NPs) supporte ...
Amer Chemical Soc2013Signatures of sea level changes on tidal geomorphology: Experiments on network incision and retreat
How do tidal networks respond to changes in relative mean sea level (RMSL)? The question on whether the morphological features of a tidal landscape retain signatures of past environmental forcings, or are in equilibrium with current ones, is critical to ou ...
2012Prediction Of Ligand-Promoted Dissolution Rates From The Reactivities Of Aqueous Complexes
EARTH scientists have long recognized(1-4) that the soluble organic acids excreted by soil biota enhance rates of mineral weathering, thereby chemically stratifying the soil and affecting the biodegradation pathways of organic matter, including pollutants( ...
