The mass of carbon stored as organic matter in terrestrial systems is sufficiently large to play an important role in the global biogeochemical cycling of CO2 and O2.Field measurements of radiocarbon-depleted particulate organic carbon (POC) in rivers suggest that terrestrial organic matter persists in surface environments over millennial (or great
Enabling factors for behavior change among people with alcohol dependency: An exploratory study in a mental health-care facility
Background: Alcohol dependence has become a major public health problem with many implications on the lives of dependents and their families.Objectives: The objectives of this study is to ascertain Shacket the enabling factors to seek medical help and continue behavior change among alcohol dependents and to assess the perceptions of health-care pro

Amplitude stabilization of micromechanical oscillators using engineered nonlinearity
Micromechanical oscillators provide periodic output signals for clocks and sensors by vibrating in a single mechanical mode.The mode is conventionally excited into self-sustained oscillations and stabilized with an external electronic feedback loop.A paradigm is emerging for Shacket sustaining vibrations by coupling the mechanical mode with interna
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter antifungal potential of lemongrass essential oil against Fusarium solani, causing root rot in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
The variation in chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) as affected by plant phenology and environmental factors is a crucial limitation in standardization of EOs and thus their effective implementation into novel organic farming.The cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) using bio-elicitors has been advocated as genuine tool to s
