The biology and behaviour of a free-living population of black rats (Rattus rattus) [PDF]
A population of wild Rattus rattus living in the roofs of the laboratory buildings was studied by supplying food every evening and watching the behaviour of the animals at the feeding place. Some observations were also made on caged animals.

This work presents a novel, dynamically perfused, configurable microfluidic system for epidermis‐only (E and full‐thickness skin (FT SoC) growth, emulating human skin structure and barrier function. Upon TiO2 nanoparticle exposure, the system reveals compromised barrier integrity, reduced metabolic activity, increased permeability, and chemokine‐driven

Possibilities and limitations of vegetative propagation in breeding and mass propagation of Norway spruce [PDF]
The use of vegetative mass propagation in practical forestry with Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is limited at present, although its potential to deliver high genetic gains is obvious.

A brief report on the tree breeding is given both historical view before 1954 and recent work done after 1955, in the selection of plus trees, establishment of seed orchards and progeny tests on the main tree species in Japan. In some species already reached to provide improved seed or cuttings for commercial planting.Researches on tree genetics have ...

R&D and private investment: How to conserve indigenous fruit biodiversity of Southern Africa [PDF]
Indigenous fruits contribute widely to rural incomes in Southern Africa but their availability is declining. A domestication program aims to increase farm-household income and conserve biodiversity through farmer-led tree planting.
