Nutrient activation of Trichoderma fungal spores for improved biocontrol activity by Linda Gordon Hjeljord, Arne Tronsmo

“…Both quiescent and preactivated conidia significantly reduced latent infection in greenhouse-grown strawberries at a mean temperture of 19 ℃, while only preactivated conidia were effective in the field at 1a mean temperature of 14 ℃ on the day of treatment application.Trichoderma biocontrol isolates are most effective as highly concentrated inocula. Their antagonism to other fungi may be a result of pregermination respiration. …”

Modeling of Lightcurves from Reconnection-powered Very High-energy Flares from M87* by Siddhant Solanki, Jordy Davelaar, Bart Ripperda, Alexander Philippov

“…We then construct VHE lightcurves that account for the dynamics of the current sheet and lensing from general-relativistic effects. We find that most of the flux originates in the inner 5 gravitational radii, and beaming is essential to explain the observed flux from the strongest VHE flares. …”

The impact of poverty reduction and development interventions on non-communicable diseases and their behavioural risk factors in low and lower-middle income countries: A systematic... by Jessie Pullar, Luke Allen, Nick Townsend, Julianne Williams, Charlie Foster, Nia Roberts, Mike Rayner, Bente Mikkelsen, Francesco Branca, Kremlin Wickramasinghe

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Though many interventions addressing poverty and development have great potential to impact on NCD prevalence and risk, most fail to measure or report these outcomes. Current evidence is limited to behavioural risk factors, namely diet and suggests a positive impact of agricultural-based food security programmes on dietary indicators. …”

Land Surface Phenology Response to Climate in Semi-Arid Desertified Areas of Northern China by Xiang Song, Jie Liao, Shengyin Zhang, Heqiang Du

“…The key results are as follows: Firstly, regionally the annual mean start of the growing season (SOS) ranged from day of year (DOY) 130 to 170, the annual mean end of the growing season (EOS) fell within DOY 270 to 310, and the annual mean length of the growing season (LOS) was between 120 and 180 days. Most of the desertified areas demonstrated a tendency towards an earlier SOS, a delayed EOS, and a prolonged LOS, although a small portion exhibited the opposite trends. …”
