The long-term role of organic amendments in addressing soil constraints to production

, 2018
The use of organic amendments such as composts and manures in agricultural production can be traced back to at least the 3rd millennium BC (Wilkinson 1982), where evidence of urban refuse being used in intensive cultivation was found in Iran, Oman and ...

Translating Across Boundaries: The Process of Integrating Forestry Into the German National Water Strategy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participatory processes are increasingly recognized as essential components of modern environmental governance. While much scholarly attention has been devoted to the design and implementation of such processes, less is known about the critical phase between participatory processes and final policy outputs.

Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Load to Soil Detachment Rate by Sediment-Laden Rill Flow

, 2017
Sediment load changes with downslope distance during rill erosion process, and thus quantifying the potential contribution of sediment load on soil detachment rate is essential to accurately model the rill erosion process.

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Safety of Prenatal Anti‐Infective Use and Offspring Outcomes: A Panoramic Assessment by Indication, Drug Class, and Exposure Characteristics

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Based on the comprehensive, panoramic assessment of the safety of prenatal anti‐infective use across indications, drug classes, and exposure characteristics, potential safety signals associated with prenatal exposure to several widely used anti‐infective drug classes were identified, including macrolides, metronidazole, tetracyclines, sulfonamides ...
