EFFICIENT USE OF WATER RESOURCES
, 2023 Drip irrigation has become widespread in the world practice in the cultivation of vegetable and melon crops. The introduction of this technology makes it possible, thanks to the long-term preservation of moisture and the achieved thermal balance for plants, to reduce the need for irrigation water, as well as to obtain early and high yields.

Equity-Efficiency Optimizing Resource Allocation: The Role of Time Preferences in a Repeated Irrigation Game [PDF]
, 2014 We study repeated water allocation decisions among small scale irrigation users in Tanzania. In a treatment replicating water scarcity conditions, convexities in production make that substantial efficiency gains can be obtained by deviating from equal ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
