Qualitative Analysis of the Effect of Weeds Removal in Paddy Ecosystems in Fallow Season by Leru Zhou, Zhigang Liu, Tiejun Zhou

“…The model demonstrates that weeds removal from paddy fields could largely reduce the weeds biomass in the equilibrium state, but it also decreases the herbivore biomass, which probably reduces the content of inorganic fertilizer in the soil. We found a particular intensity of weeds removal that could result in the minimum content of inorganic fertilizer, suggesting weeds removal should be kept away from this intensity.…”

Analyzing the effects of Khorramabad - Zal bridge highway construction on rural development Eastern Miankoh villages by Mehrshad tolabinejad, Hossein farahani

“…In this study ‚mean time of defining the population community (514 family)‚ the 103 family was selected as a sample with Cochran formula (12 villages).The result of achieved data analysis‚ on the basis of‚ fitting regression test‚ linear regression and path analysis showed that the most general effect of highway construction is relevant to the environmental dimension with amount of (0/591) so that the contamination of soil and water resources have been increased in rural areas. Also using of fertilizers and pesticides is been prevalent. The amount of demolition of water resources such as springs and water channeling have been increased in the rural boundary. and also pastures‚ forests and fertile lands have been allocated to the building constructions and forming dimension with amount of (0/058) has the least overall effect on the rural stable development in the boundary of studying area.…”

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Improved Boar Sperm Quality via Maintaining Mitochondrial Function During Cryopreservation by Shanpeng Wang, Qi Wang, Lingjiang Min, Hailiang Cao, Adedeji O. Adetunji, Kaifeng Zhou, Zhendong Zhu

“…Interestingly, sperm in the 1000 nM PQQ group showed a higher binding rate to oviductal epithelial cells and the zona pellucida (ZP), indicating higher fertilization potential. These findings suggest that the use of mitochondria-target antioxidant, PQQ, can improve post-thaw boar sperm quality and fertilization via its capacity to reduce oxidative stress and protect mitochondrial function.…”
