Recharge sources and hydrogeochemical evolution of groundwater in alluvial basins in arid central Australia by Vanderzalm, J.L., Jeuken, B.M., Wischusen, J.D.H., Pavelic, Paul, Le Gal La Salle, C., Knapton, A., Dillon, P.J.

“…Aside from this, effluent recharge was not evident in the Outer Farm Basin, indicating that past unmanaged recharge practices will not mask signs of Managed Aquifer Recharge through the Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) operation. …”

Changes in frigate tuna populations on the south coast of Sri Lanka: evidence of the shifting baseline syndrome from analysis of fisher observations by Venkatachalam, A.J., Price, A.R.G., Chandrasekara, S., Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali, Kaler, J.

“…Reliance on fishery statistics, especially for mixed species and over a limited period, can be risky and easily mask true stock status. Evidence of harvesting effects on frigate tuna in southern Sri Lanka is evident using questionnaire data over a longer time scale. …”

Response of cassava genotypes to four biotic constraints in three agro-ecologies of Nigeria by Dixon, Alfred G.O., Ngeve, JM, Nukenine, EN

“…Environments, genotypes and genotype x environment (G x E) interactions were highly significant (P< 0.0001) for the pests, implying that the G x E effects were sufficiently high to mask differences among genotypes. The local variety, TME1, was more tolerant (30% severity) to cassava green mite across sites, compared to other clones, while clone 30001 exhibited the highest susceptibility to the pest (54%). …”

Within-farm soil fertility gradients affect response of maize to fertilizer application in Western Kenya by Vanlauwe, Bernard, Tittonell, Pablo A., Mukulama, J

“…1), large variability in Olsen-P gradients across field types among farms within a specific site often masked clear differences in response to P between field types for a specific site. …”

Delivering climate services for farmers and pastoralists through interactive radio by Hampson, Karen J., Chapota, Rex, Emmanuel, Japhet, Tall, Arame, Huggins-Rao, Sheila, Leclair, Mark, Perkins, Kevin, Kaur, Harneet, Hansen, James

“…Women and men differed in time spent listening to radio, in mobile phone airtime purchased, and in Malawi, phone ownership; but larger location differences masked any gender differences in preferences about information content, delivery channels, or expectations about user and benefit. …”

Aspectos de la Lucha Biológica en los Estados Unidos by Cánovas, Cirilo

“…La Estación de Fitopatología Agrícola de Burjasot, dedica, desde hace tiempo, especialísimo interés al estudio de los insectos útiles, y ha conseguido introducir y aclimatar algunos parásitos, entre los cuales el Novius cardinalis Muls., enemigo de la «cochinilla australiana» (Iceria Purchasi, Mask.), es un caso ejemplar y de máxima eficacia porque, destruyendo por sí solo al fitófago, pone de manifiesto la valía de estos auxiliares del agricultor, induciendo hasta a los más profanos a conceder a la lucha biológica la importancia que, científica y económicamente, le corresponde. …”

Evaluation of acute appetite effects of crisp bread of rye by Forsberg, Tina

“…This is likely due to the high energy content of the breakfast or the lower proportion of test product masking the difference in effect on appetite. In Study 2 the energy content of the breakfast was lower than in Study 1 and the test product constituted a larger proportion of the breakfast. …”
