Sustainable water management for sweetcorn in Senegal [PDF]
, 2012 Water consumption is a global concern, especially in the agriculture sector in sub-Saharan countries, where 70% of abstraction is for agricultural use. This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of scientific scheduling in reducing the irrigation ...

"Vegetable Dynamicks": The Role of Water in Plant Movements
, 2012 International audienceAlthough they lack muscle, plants have evolved a remarkable range of mechanisms to create motion, from the slow growth of shoots to the rapid snapping of carnivorous plants and the explosive rupture of seed pods.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

Role of legitimacy in the relationships between water users and governance bodies under conditions of increasing water stress [PDF]
, 2005 Water stress is an issue of increasing concern in developed countries. In particular localised water stress 'hot spots', are a new challenge. This emergence creates a series of difficulties.

Water movement in porous materials: Part 2 - The separation of the components of water movement
British Journal of Applied Physics, 1963 Vapour conductivities kv estimated from hydrogen diffusion in porous solids of decreasing moisture content theta rise slowly from zero at saturation θT to a maximum near dryness, and then fall rapidly again to zero at complete dryness. Liquid conductivities kl, computed from pore size distributions, and estimated from previous water transport ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

The use of wearable microsensors to quantify sport-specific movements
, 2015 Background: Microtechnology has allowed sport scientists to understand the locomotor demands of various sports. While wearable global positioning technology has been used to quantify the locomotor demands of sporting activities, microsensors (i.e ...

FLUID FLOW MODEL BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF WATER INJECTION DATA IN THE TURONIAN RESERVOIR OF THE LIAWENDA FIELD, OFFSHORE COASTAL BASIN OF D.R. CONGO [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Petroleum & Gas TechnologyArranged the hydrocarbons in an oil reservoir require several techniques for their exploitation. The Liawenda field, discovered in December 1971 following the drilling of the Liawenda-01 exploration well, has a total of 186 wells with an annual ...
