Impact of donor mare and stallion identity on the likelihood of pregnancy after transfer of in vitro produced embryos

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The success of in vitro embryo production (IVEP) is influenced by donor mare and stallion. Objectives To determine whether donor mare and stallion influence the pregnancy rate after transfer of in vitro produced (IVP) blastocysts and to identify factors influencing the likelihood of obtaining one or more pregnancies from a single ...

Effects of Straw Biological Reactor with Maize Straw on the Growth Environment, Yield and Quality of Watermelon in Shed Planting

International Journal of Ecology, 2017
随着我国农业的发展，每年会产出大量农作物秸秆。作物秸秆是有用的生物资源，如何利用好这类宝贵的生物资源，而不是简单作为废弃物处理，是我国乃至世界面临的重要课题。秸秆生物反应堆是一种将秸秆有效还田以促进作物生长的新技术。本文以玉米秸秆为材料，研究了内置式秸秆生物反应堆对大棚西瓜生长环境、西瓜产量及品质的影响。结果表明，玉米秸秆生物反应堆使土壤有机质含量提高了3.88%~23.65%，土壤容重和含盐量分别下降了11.07%和17.65%。秸秆反应堆使土壤温度提高了1.4℃~6.0℃，平均提高3.7℃。大棚空气CO2浓度上升了52.19%~233.96%，平均上升137.30%。西瓜产量提高了61.65%，含糖量提高了25.10%。这些研究结果说明，内置式玉米秸秆生物反应堆可以显著改善西瓜的生长环境 ...

Age, embryo donor status, and insemination with chilled semen all predispose to persistent breeding‐induced endometritis in warmblood mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Persistent breeding‐induced endometritis (PBIE) is a common reason for mares failing to establish pregnancy. Objective To examine the hypothesis that advancing mare age and embryo donor status predispose to PBIE and compromise fertility.

Straw Returning Combined with Application of Sulfur-Coated Urea Improved Rice Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency Through Enhancing Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism

Agriculture
Straw returning inhibits tillering at the early stage of rice growth and thus affects grain yield. Sulfur-coated urea (SCU) has been expected to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and yield, save labor input, and reduce environmental pollution in ...

Cognition in menopausal women

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cognitive health in postmenopausal women is significantly affected by hormonal shifts, especially the drop in estrogen levels. This review explores the intricate relationship between menopause and cognitive functions across six domains: perception, attention, memory, language, executive functioning, and motor skills.
