Abstract:
... Hasak is a sheep breed, developed as a result of crossbreeding studies at Bahri Dağdaş International Agricultural Research Institute. The aim of this study was to examine the macroanatomical structure of the nervus ischiadicus outside the cavum pelvis in Hasak sheep breed. 5 Hasak sheep were used for this study. After opening the body cavities of the cadavers, they were fixed in formaldehyde solut ...

Abstract:
... The academic community frequently engages with OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a data source and research subject, acknowledging its complex and contextual nature. However, existing literature rarely considers the position of academic research in relation to the OSM community. In this paper we explore the extent and nature of engagement between the academic research community and the larger communities in ...

Abstract:
... The attitude towards animals in research depends on both the role of the stakeholder and their personal characteristics. Most studies on the subject have been carried out on stakeholders from biomedical research institutes with comparatively few sociological studies on stakeholders from agricultural research centers. Previous findings suggest that animal caretakers at agricultural research centers ...

Abstract:
... Mycotoxin food contamination data is scattered, isolated, and poorly described. Reporting mycotoxin contamination data in a standardized manner is essential for collaborative research and integrated large-scale data analysis. The present study aimed to complement the existing European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Global Environment Monitoring System (GEMS) mycotoxin contamination data descript ...
... Microphysical process rates in bulk microphysics schemes have been parameterized in simple forms which may inadequately represent their complicated dependencies on hydrometeor quantities. In this study, we develop a bulk warm rain microphysics scheme that includes physically based parameterizations of collection and breakup. The parameterizations are derived from the stochastic collection and brea ...
... Bio-inspired optimization techniques (BOT) are part of intelligent computing techniques. There are several BOTs available and many new BOTs are evolving in this era of industrial revolution 4.0. Genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony, and grey wolf optimization are the techniques explored by researchers in the field of food processing technology. Although, there are ...
... An international effort to restore contaminated areas across the Great Lakes has been underway for over 50 years. Although experts have increasingly recognized the inherent connections between ecological conditions and community level benefits, Great Lakes community revitalization continues to be a broad and complex topic, lacking a comprehensive definition. The purpose of this study was to genera ...
... The capillary pressure‐saturation relation is one of the key constitutive equations used for modeling multiphase (or partially saturated) flow in porous materials. It is known that this empirical relation depends strongly on dynamic conditions, but the impact of a heterogeneity interface on this relationship has been studied less. The present study employed optical imaging to visualize two‐phase d ...
... Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are heterogenous in structure, chemical and physical properties, and their capacity to partition into various environmental matrixes. In many cases, these chemicals can disrupt the endocrine systems of vertebrate and invertebrate organisms when present at very low concentrations. Therefore, sensitive and varied analytical methods are required to detect these c ...
... Stereoselective total synthesis of anti-fungal cyclopentenone (−)-hygrophorone A¹² and cyclopentanone 4-epi-2,3-dihydrohygrophorone H¹² were achieved in high overall yields from d-ribose. An aqueous KOH mediated diastereoselective formation of β-hydroxy ketone with three contiguous chiral centres served as a key step in this synthesis. ...
... We aimed to describe the global prevalence and temporal trends of hearing loss. We collected detailed information of hearing loss from the Global Burden of Disease study between 1990 and 2019. Average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) in hearing loss age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), by sex, region, and category, were calculated to quantify the temporal prevalence trends. Globally, the prev ...

Abstract:
... In agricultural research for development adoption of new technology tends to be cast in categories: adoption, partial adoption, dis-adoption or non-adoption. While these may serve for pragmatic classification and measures for project success or impact they fail to properly acknowledge the ongoing and independent efforts of farmers (and others) in experimentation and integration of knowledge across ...

Abstract:
... Saccharomyces eubayanus is a genetically diverse yeast isolated for the first time in Patagonia (Argentina), which has received special attention in research and brewing applications for being identified as one of the parents of the lager-brewing yeast. In the search for different and innovative products, the beer market has focused part of its efforts on innovation through the application of non- ...

Abstract:
... Climate change can disrupt food availability and reduce access to food by affecting agricultural production in the world. Thus, the current empirical study investigates the impacts of climate change on rice production over the different regions of Punjab, Pakistan for the period of 1979–2018. The bound test co-integration method with the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) was used to explore th ...
... Stochastic dominance comparisons of distributions based on ordinal data arise in many areas of economics. This paper develops a testing procedure for such comparisons under survey sampling from large finite populations with nonresponse using the worst-case bounds of the distributions. The advantage of using these bounds in distributional comparisons is that conclusions are robust to the nature of ...
... The Hadley circulation (HC) variability induced by ENSO (ENSO-driven HC) plays an important role in the changes of the tropical and even global climate. In the present study, we investigated the changes in ENSO-driven HC using the historical and RCP8.5 (SSP585 in CMIP6) runs from 34 models in CMIP5 and 24 models in CMIP6, and separated the roles of the changes in the ENSO SST and background SST us ...
... Although d-glucose is the most common sugar in nature, only a few NMR studies have focused on its minor furanose forms, and they have been limited to the anomeric position. Here, complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral analysis of α- and β-d-glucofuranose was performed, including signal assignment, chemical shifts, and coupling constants. Selective and non-selective 1D and 2D NMR experiments were used fo ...
... The aim of the article is to demonstrate the effect of setting the length of the upper link of the three-point hitch on the change in the load of the in-furrow wheel and the on-land wheel of the tractor during ploughing. Furthermore, attention is paid to the load on the rear wheels together with the tyre inflation pressure and their effect on the contact pressure under the tractor wheels. The trac ...
... Large-scale surveys have been used to estimate the value of recreational fishing over large areas and time periods in the past, but there is a lack of information regarding the value of smaller event based recreational fishing activities. Using the travel-cost method, we estimate the overall value generated by two regional spearfishing competitions in eastern Australia and the adjusted value per c ...
... Education is foundational to the way we see, feel, read, interpret and ‘write’ the landscapes; nevertheless, the learning processes behind these actions are not always explicit and subject to scrutiny. This short editorial, while presenting the six papers that compose this special issue on Landscape and Education, underlines the need of combining interdisciplinary viewpoints towards a greater unde ...
