Farm level water footprints of rice production based on measured and estimated crop evapo-transpiration

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2014
Studies have been conducted to quantify water footprint (WF) on high spatial scale in which crop evapo-transpiration (ETc) was computed indirectly using empirical formula.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Supporting Aged Care Worker Wellbeing: A Qualitative Document Analysis of the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aged care work is physically and emotionally demanding. Workers can feel disempowered, vulnerable and at increased risk of experiencing work‐related stress. This in turn can result in sub‐optimal care and staff shortages. This study aimed to investigate what provisions exist within Australia's strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards to ...

Fluxos de energia e desenvolvimento da cultura do abacaxizeiro Energy fluxes and development of pineapple crop

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2008
O dossel vegetativo do abacaxizeiro varia consideravelmente desde o plantio das mudas até a cobertura completa, no final do ciclo produtivo. Um experimento agrometeorológico foi desenvolvido nos tabuleiros costeiros do estado da Paraíba, com o cultivo do

Chrysin alleviates pressure overload–induced myocardial remodeling through regulating the PI3K/AKT/NRF2 pathway–mediated oxidative stress response

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we primarily simulated pathological myocardial remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and found significant cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, characterized by deteriorated cardiac function. Oxidative stress response is considered as a pivotal pathological process, which contributes to inflammation and apoptosis of ...

A Bowen ratio-informed method for coordinating the estimates of air–sea turbulent heat fluxes

Environmental Research Letters
Accurate quantification of turbulent heat fluxes [THF, comprising sensible heat flux (SHF) and latent heat flux (LHF)] and Bowen ratio ( β , ratio of SHF and LHF) is essential for understanding the air–sea interaction.

Aplicação do algoritmo S-SEBI na obtenção da evapotranspiração diária em condições áridas Application of the S-SEBI algorithm to obtain the daily evapotranspiration in arid conditions

Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2010
O principal objetivo desse estudo foi determinar a evapotranspiração real diária (ETr) da vegetação tamarisk através de técnicas micrometeorológicas e de sensoriamento remoto, e validar os resultados da ETr estimados pelo sensoriamento remoto.

Altered by Gold: A Comparative Zooarchaeological Analysis of 19th to 20th Century Chinese and British Migrants in Ravenswood, a Northern Queensland Gold Mining Town

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Linking Brain Morphometry to Psychometric Measures and Energy‐Metabolic Biomarkers in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with differences in neurodevelopment and altered metabolism, yet the interplay between brain morphometry, mitochondrial and energy metabolism biomarkers, and autistic traits in adults remains poorly understood. This study investigates the link between brain structure, psychometric measures, and both
