Influence of chemical composition on the biochemical methane potential of agro-industrial substrates from Estonia
(2017)
Batch trials were carried out to evaluate the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of
61 different substrates collected from agricultural farms and industrial sites in Estonia. Tests were
performed in 500 mL plasma bottles ...
Requirements for inserting intercropping in aquaponics system for sustainability in agricultural production system
(2017)
In recent years, the recirculating aquaponics system has gained high attention and
significant popularity for organic vegetables and fruits production which contributes to the
sustainable aquaculture for tropical regions. ...
Anaerobic co-digestion of oil refinery wastewater and chicken manure to produce biogas, and kinetic parameters determination in batch reactors
(2017)
In order to improve the anaerobic fermentation of oil refinery wastewater (ORWW)
via an appropriate nutrients pool for microbial and buffer capacity growth, a study was carried
out on related anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) ...
Analysis of Arabidopsis defensin-like genes and ovule development during fertilization and Fusarium infection
(2017)
Defensins are small, highly stable antimicrobial peptides. Many defensin-like (DEFL)
peptides found in flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana are believed to have role in either natural
immunity or cell-to-cell communication ...
The nitrogen role in vegetables irrigated with treated municipal wastewater
(2017)
The reuse of treated municipal wastewater for irrigation is an established alternative to
conventional water, in many countries of the world, particularly where or when water resources
are extremely limited. Wastewater ...
Peas and beans as a protein feed for dairy cows
(2017)
The need for alternative protein sources to soybean meal, partially or fully substituted
in the diets of dairy cows, is an urgent problem in farming nowadays. Soybean meal is the most
common protein source included in ...

Band structures for binding and holding of objects made from recycled metallic materials
(2017)
The aim of the present research is the investigation of the possibility and effectiveness
of using the band structures made from recycled metallic materials for binding and holding of
objects (in particular, tubular ...
Legumes in the diet of dairy cows from the economic perspective
(2017)
Based on the experimental data, one can conclude that feed rations may comprise peas
var. ‘Bruno’ and faba beans var. ‘Lielplatone’ grown in Latvia, thereby replacing the use of
imported soybean cake. After summarising ...
