Proteomic insights on root and tuber crops’ response to abiotic stress—A review

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Root and tuber crops are a good source of food energy on a global scale, particularly in African and Asian nations. Nevertheless, these crops can be susceptible to abiotic stresses such as excessive heat, high salinity, drought, and nutrient deficiencies, which have detrimental effects on the physiological and metabolic processes of the plants,

Are crop fields pharmacies for megaherbivores? From ecophysiological studies of elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) crop raiders in Gabon

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Forest elephants need to be conserved not only because they act as forest engineers. They also appear to be self‐medication specialists and could possibly help humans to cope with present and future health issues. Managers should include the development of medicinal leeches to mitigate HEC.

Buckling Behavior of Metallic Cylindrical Shell Structures Strengthened with CFRP Composite

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a CFRP composite layer on the buckling behavior of metallic cylindrical shells. To enhance the bearing capacity of steel shells, classical solutions consider internal or external metallic stiffeners (stringers and/or rings) welded or riveted to the shell.

Standarization of fresh elephant foot yam based value added products

ASIAN JOURNAL OF HOME SCIENCE, 2017
The present study was done to assess the organoleptic acceptability, nutritional composition and economics of value added products developed from corms of released variety elephant foot yam (NDA-9). Among various value added products the highest sensory mean score was obtained by veg rolls (9.0) followed by bread roll (8.98), momos (8.88), chokha (8.86)
