Threshold-crossing time statistics for size-dependent gene expression in growing cells

Many intracellular events trigger upon attaining critical concentrations of their corresponding regulatory proteins. How cells ensure precision in the timing of these events is a fundamental problem. Models used to study protein dynamics often do not explicitly account for cell growth and consider the dilution by the growth as equivalent...

Evidence on the multidimensional performance of agroecology in Mali using TAPE

In 2020, the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) was used in Mali to assess the status of the agroecological transition of local farms and to identify its correlation with farms' quantitative performance across the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. This study aims to present the evidence on the multidimensional performance...

Development of tomatoes seedlings (Lycopersicum sculentum L.) in combination with silicate rock powder and rhizospheric fungi inoculation

Global agricultural production increasingly lacks technologies and alternatives for vegetable production without harming the environment, as well as for the recovery of degraded areas. In this regard, rhizo- spheric fungi promote plant growth and are widely used in agriculture. Stonemeal is a process that uses a large amount of rock...

A correlation structure for the analysis of Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses in crossover experimental designs with repeated measures

In this study, we propose a family of correlation structures for crossover designs with repeated measures for both, Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses using generalized estimating equations (GEE). The structure considers two matrices: one that models between-period correlation and another one that models within-period correlation. The overall correlation matrix, which is...

The Africa Climate Action Performance Report

Although Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions are low, its contribution to climate change mitigation is critical to global climate action. This report evaluates Africa’s climate policy through the lens of ‘common but differentiated responsibilities,’ an asymmetrical allocation of responsibility for climate action, determined by differences in countries’ contributions to historical emissions...

Anatomical and biochemical responses to oxidative stress in shoots of Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl during the in vitro-ex vitro transition

Hyperhydricity can affect the development of plant morphology. A better understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes of hyperhydric plants is needed to predict and control the occurrence of hyperhydryc conditions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the role of oxidative stress in hyperhydricity. To this end, the...

AGRI challenge: organic farming

Andrea Battiata is an Italian organic farmer. He has developed an alternative type of farming, which restores nutrients to the soil, sequesters CO2, is more resilient to climate change, and mimics what happens in nature, particularly in forests. His CSA provides vegetables to 100 families. Watch his story.
