Effects of inter-varietal diversity, biotic stresses and environmental productivity on grain yield of spring barley variety mixtures [PDF]
Varietal seed mixtures tend to increase and stabilize crop yields, yet their application is sparse. Large-scale cultivation of variety mixtures may require a better understanding of how inter-varietal interactions and their interaction with the ...

Conditional Gaussian mixture models for environmental risk mapping [PDF]
This paper proposes the use of Gaussian mixture models to estimate conditional probability density functions in an environmental risk mapping context. A conditional Gaussian mixture model has been compared to, the geostatistical method of sequential Gaussian simulations and shows good performance in reconstructing the local PDF.

Strategies for Transferring Mixtures of Organic Contaminants from Aquatic Environments into Bioassays [PDF]
Mixtures of organic contaminants are ubiquitous in the environment. Depending on their persistence and physicochemical properties, individual chemicals that make up the mixture partition and distribute within the environment and might then jointly elicit

Life cycle assessment comparison between zircon and alumina sand applied to ceramic tiles
The goal of the study is to assess and compare the use of opacifier (whitener) materials zircon sand and alumina applied in ceramic tiles production. This study provides a comparison using a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) approach, giving an ...

Partial Effects in Environmental Mixtures: Evidence and Guidance on Methods and Implications. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The effects of a mixture of exposures on health outcomes are of interest to public health, but pose methodological hurdles. These exposures may impact the outcome in opposing ways, which we call the positive and negative partial effects of a mixture.

Environmentally friendly road asphalt mixtures [PDF]
In recent years, roads are deteriorated due to increasing traffic volumes, and they require extensive reconstruction which should be environmentally friendly. This can be done by using new additives and waste and recycled materials in road construction. Recently developed warm mix asphalt technology decreases impact on environment. One of the materials

Incorporating biological knowledge in analyses of environmental mixtures and health
A key goal of environmental health research is to assess the risk posed by mixtures of pollutants. As epidemiologic studies of mixtures can be expensive to conduct, it behooves researchers to incorporate prior knowledge about mixtures into their analyses.
