Possibilities for growing queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) in Argentina as a biodiesel producer under semi-arid climate conditions

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2012
Abstract Syagrus romanzoffiana is a palm native to Argentina, where it is known by the name ‘Pindo’. This palm extends from the Misionera Forest through the gallery Forest, being the Parana Delta area the southern limit of dispersion. In this area, the large volumes of water from the rivers create a moderating effect, reducing the daily temperature ...

Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two Millennia. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This study reveals unprecedented burning in tropical peatlands during the 20th century, mainly expressed in the Indomalayan and Australasian regions, emphasising regional variability in peatland burning and its links to modern human activities. Before this period, tropical peatland burning largely followed changes in global temperature and was ...

EFFECTS OF IRRIGATION WATER SALINITY AND LIMING RATE ON CATION UPTAKE BY QUEEN PALMS [PDF]

HortScience, 1990
Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) were grown in containers of sand to determine the effects of irrigation water salinity and liming rate on cation uptake by the plants. Dolomite was incorporated at rates of 0, 3, or 6 kg/m3. Within each lime rate palms were irrigated with a solution of NaCl and CaCl2 (molar ratio =5Na:1Ca) at conductivities of .25, 1,

Seed germination of queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) is affected by storage and fruit ripening stage

Seed Science and Technology, 2015
Aspects related to the control of germination in queen palm were investigated, including the diaspore morphology, water uptake and the effects of the fruit maturation stage and storage of pyrenes on germination. Pyrenes obtained from fruits at three maturation stages (immature, intermediate and mature) that were freshly harvested (FH) or stored for two

Increased expression of aromatase after focal cerebral ischemia: Relevance to neuroprotection and functional recovery

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Aromatase is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of 17β‐estradiol, the most potent estrogen, which has pleiotropic neuroprotective properties. Aromatase levels increase in the brain after stroke, and its gene variants increase susceptibility to stroke. This study aims to determine whether aromatase overexpression improves stroke outcome and

‘The Good Couscous That Pleases Us!’: The Meanings of Enduring Imperialist Imagery in Postcolonial French Food Advertising, 1970–2000

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines a wave of Orientalism‐inspired food commercials that appeared on television in France between 1975 and 2000. Older commercials for couscous were more banal, emphasizing a given product's superiority or affordability. Around 1975, however, there was a concerted shift in the advertising; new spots contained exoticized ...
