Evaluation of the GreyWater Footprint Comparing the Indirect Effects of Different Agricultural Practices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Increasing global food demand and economic growth result in increasing competition over scarce freshwater resources, worsened by climate change and pollution. The agricultural sector has the largest share in the water footprint of humanity.

Water Erosion in a Long-Term Soil Management Experiment with a Humic Cambisol

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2017
Water erosion, the main factor in soil degradation, is strongly influenced by soil cover and management. The objective of this study was to determine soil and water losses under natural rainfall conditions from 1993 to 2012 in the southern Santa Catarina

Improving irrigation, crop, and soil management for sustainable soybean production in Southern Brazilian lowlands

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2021
: Lowlands have been cultivated with irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) in a monoculture cropping system for more than a century in southern Brazil. Shallow topsoil with high bulk density and deficient water infiltration favors the of production paddy rice ...

Influence of physical attributes and pedotransfer function for predicting water retention in management systems

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of the soil structural physical attributes on the water retention and to develop pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for the estimation of the soil water content (θ) at different matric potentials of a ...

IMPDH inhibition enhances cytarabine efficacy in SAMHD1‐expressing leukaemia cells via guanine nucleotide depletion

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

No-tillage Corn Weed Management

open access: yes, 2002
Materials and Methods The crop rotation was corn following soybean. Crop residue was 95–100% at planting. Fertilization included 100 lb/A actual N applied as 28% urea ammonium nitrate dribble banded. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Herbicides were applied in 20 gal. water/acre.
