Land and water use by Matheswaran, Karthikeyan, Akhtar, T.

“…Given the difficult context in which water co-operation would start from zero, ‘low-hanging fruit’ for advancing co-operation may lie in: (i) focusing effort on the Kurram and Gomal where, given land- and water use patterns, efforts towards co-operation may be less contentious; and (ii) focusing on data collection and assessment to establish an evidence-based foundation on which co-operation can build.…”

A thicker chorion gives ova of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) the upper hand against Saprolegnia infections by Songe, M.M., Willems, A., Sarowar, M.N., Rajan, K., Evensen, A., Drynan, K., Skaar, I., West, P. van

“…Little is known about the defence mechanisms of the hosts, making some eggs more prone to infection than others. One clue might lie in the composition of the eggs. As the immune system in the embryos is not developed yet, the difference in infection levels could be explained by factors influenced by the mother herself, by either transferring passive immunity, influencing the physical aspects of the eggs or both. …”

Opportunities for smallholder farmers to benefit from conservation agricultural practices by Nhamo, N., Lungu, O.N.

“…Research results have shown an improved understanding of how the systems impact production potential and an indicative direction of where the systems may work and where challenges lie. Given the changes in climate and the challenges with soils that may not respond to soil amendments, it is important to define boundary conditions under which CA techniques will deliver on improving production and at the same time mitigate the effects of climate change through improved resource use efficiency. …”
