For this reason, orbital magnetism does not need spin-orbit coupling to support hysteresis, and it can couple to a much wider variety of physical phenomena than spin magnetism can- indeed, anything that affects the electronic band structure or real space wave function is fair game. For this reason we can expect to encounter many of the …

Use of highly personalized data collection devices will require secure data repositories
Overall, including a practical amount of red raspberry in the diet regularly is a low-calorie dietary strategy that improves gut microbiota composition and function in individuals with prediabetes and insulin resistance resulting in improvements in metabolic health. With a sustained emphasis on the role of gut microbiota in nutrition research, advances in our understanding of …
Genome-wide association study identified 62 signals for 35 volatiles
Some volatiles have been lost during domestication and breeding as a combined result of negative selection and linkage drag in tomato and watermelon . Likewise, gain and loss of terpene compounds during strawberry domestication and its genetic causes have been investigated . Recent advances in sequencing technology and analytical approaches have opened new opportunities to …

The leaf platform consisted of a coffee leaf that we cut in two places on one side of the leaf
Limited prior research that has looked at the effects of multiple soil management practices indicates that metrics for soil health are a product of both inherent soil properties and dynamic soil properties . Whether available soil indicators could translate these soil properties and processes when management systems are complex remains unclear. As an added layer …
It is not surprising that soil texture is an important determinant of SOM in these organic systems
Farm Type I consistently showed the highest values for total soil N, total organic C, POXC, and soil protein, which suggests sites in this farm type had higher soil quality compared to Farm Type II and III; similarly, Farm Type II consistently showed intermediate values for all four indicators for soil organic matter. Lastly, Farm …
The most abundant phenolic compound found in extracts of the blue elder flowers was IR
Elderflowers are used in products as either fresh or, more commonly, as dry flowers and as either whole or homogenized flowers . Therefore, each of these parameters were evaluated resulting in the following types of samples: fresh whole flowers ; dry whole flowers ; fresh homogenized flowers ; dry homogenized flowers . Phenolic compounds were …
Cover-crop treatments had no effect on soil nutrients in the rows
The most significant impacts of the vineyard floor treatments were of the cover-crop treatments on soil parameters in the middles. Soil organic matter in cover-cropped middles was higher than in bare middles each year . Cover crops affected key soil nutrients in the middles; for instance, cover crops greatly reduced nitrate-nitrogen , and to a lesser extent, …

We confirmed the expression of five GRBaV genes in ripening red-skinned berries
Because of their limited protein-coding capacities, geminiviruses rely heavily on host cellular machinery and interact with an assortment of plant proteins and pathways to promote infection . Although three of these genes have been assigned putative functions in viral DNA replication and coat formation , their specific functions in pathogenesis are yet to be elucidated. …

Vials were put on ice and refrigerated at 4°C for at least 24 hours before further processing
The site’s location on the flat, valley bottom of a river floodplain also means that its topography, while typical of other vineyard sites per se, created conditions that limit soil depth, drainage and decomposition. As such, the physical conditions examined here may differ significantly from more hilly regions in California, such as Sonoma and Mendocino …
A significant share of farms do not have formal documentation of property rights
The models all use community fixed effects and, for simplicity, have farm size entering linearly.The estimated coefficients from models 1 – 5 are largely consistent. They indicate a strong inverse relationship between farm size and frontier TFP and that the frontier is increasing over time, reflecting positive technical change. The coefficients on inputs are positive …
