The use of less impacting techniques in agricultural systems is the global trend, so the use of High dilutions on these systems has been studied as ecologically sound technology. This study had the object to study the interaction between the High dilutions and the development of Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake seedlings. Was conducted from May 2007 to July 2007, in the greenhouse of the Department of Plant Science at the Federal University of Viçosa. Applications were made in one day intervals and preparations utilized were: Phosphorus, Calcarea carbonica, Kali muriaticum, Magnesia carbonica, in dynamizations 3CH and 12CH and water and alcohol dynamised CH3. Morphological parameters of quality seedlings were analyzed over time and the end of the experiment. The prepared Kali muriaticum 12CH promoted increased root length of approximately 55% compared to control water . The prepared Phosphorus 3CH differed from other treatments in the green total mass variable. The High dilutions Phosphorus 3CH and Kali muriaticum 12CH promoted increase in root growth. The responses obtained with the application of Phosphorus 3CH indicate the viability of agronomic use to the increase of the root exploration and absorbing elements necessary for plant growth.

And Chemical Properties

Hydrated fullerene C60 (HyFn) is a supramolecular object in which the nanosized fullerene molecule is enclosed in a multilayer shell of water molecules. Despite the fact that fullerene C60 is chemically rather inert, aqueous solutions of HyFn exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activity in particular in low and ultra-low concentrations. Thus, physical and chemical properties of aqueous solutions of HyFn in a wide range of its dilutions are of interest. Here we compared some physical and chemical properties of aqueous systems prepared by successive 100-fold dilutions of HyFn (10–7 M) with deionized water, with their intensive shaking at each stage up to the calculated HyFn concentration of 10–31 M and of the corresponding “dilutions” of deionized water prepared in the same manner (controls). We studied the character of рН changes in dilutions when titrating them with HCl and NaOH. It turned out that HyFn dilutions had significantly higher buffering capacity against acidification with HCl than control water “dilutions.” At the highest acidity reached pH in all HyFn dilutions was almost 0.3 units higher than in the respective controls. Average buffering capacity of HyFn dilutions and water controls when titrated with NaOH did not differ. However, differences in buffering capacity could be seen between consecutive dilutions of HyFn at their titration either with NaOH or with HCl. Most prominent differences were observed between consecutive HyFn dilutions in the range of calculated concentrations 10–17–10–31 M titrated with NaOH while no significant differences in pH between equivalent “dilutions” of control water were observed. Similar though less prominent variations in buffering capacity between consecutive HyFn dilutions titrated with HCl were also noticed. Thus, titration with an acid and especially with an alkali made it possible to reveal differences between individual dilutions of HyFn, as well as differences between HyFn dilutions and corresponding dilutions of water. These features may be due to complexity in the structural properties of aqueous systems, which, supposedly, can arise due to the emergence of heterogenous aqueous regions (“clouds”) in the course of their dilutions with intensive mixing at each stage. In order to find out if such heterogeneity is a characteristic for HyFn dilutions we used the method of drying microsphere-containing droplets, whose aqueous base were either HyFn dilutions in the range of calculated HyFn concentration 10–7–10–31 M or respective water controls. It was found that a significant part of HyFn dilutions is characterized by mesoscopic heterogeneity. It showed up by the tendency of microspheres to concentrate in a specific way resembling ornaments once the droplets had dried. As the degree of HyFn dilution increased, the number of dried droplets with an ornament-like microsphere distribution increased. Same was also observed in water control drops. However, for the dilutions of HyFn equivalent to concentrations 10–19–10–31 M the percentage of complexly structured dried up droplets reached 60–80%, while for dried out drops of respective water controls it did not exceed 15–20%. Thus, the physicochemical properties of high dilutions of hydrated fullerene differ not only from each other dependently on the dilution level, but also from those of high dilutions of water, which can be explained by the structuredness and heterogeneity of these aqueous systems. Therefore, upon dilution process the properties of the solutions change according to complex and non-linear laws so that final dilutions cannot be identical in their properties and features to those of the initial solutions (before dilutions process) and to the untreated water. Dilution process, in view of the aforementioned, should not be underestimated when analyzing properties of the solutions, having shown to be able to affect dramatically properties of the solutions.

Food is the source of Nutrition.  When taken at face value, this wouldn’t appear to be a very controversial statement, especially when espoused within a journal dedicated to food and nutrition.  However, when we take a closer look at current efforts being made in the fields of agriculture and nutrition, one often gets the impression that many food, nutrition, and agriculture experts have become convinced that food can no longer provide all of the nutrients which are essential to the optimal growth and development of the human body. Highly nutritious foods, entirely capable of fulfilling human nutritional requirements, still exist.  However, due to an over-reliance on monocropped and industrialized agricultural systems, nutritional diversity is increasingly being marginalized.  Instead of asking ‘What happened to our food,’ a more pertinent question would be ‘What happened to our food system’?  Throughout the world, governments are now spending billions of dollars to subsidize monocropped agriculture, but as agriculture is failing nutritionally, these same governments are forced into spending billions of dollars to subsidize nutritional treatments (through fortification, supplementation, and medicinal programs).   Many assessments of industrialized agriculture fail to take into consideration the negative effects on humans and the environment as a result of depleted nutrition, exposure to toxic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, the mismanagement of soil and water resources, and the depletion of biodiversity to make room for expanded monocropping.   When we begin to learn how to embrace the nature-enhancing models of sustainable agriculture such as agroecology, we begin to realize that all the questions soon merge into one resounding answer:  Yes, we can use every single available square inch of land and/or space to produce enough highly-nutritious food to feed the world, as well as to elevate the health, growth, and development of all people in all countries to their maximum potential.  This can, should, and already is being implemented in people’s yards, gardens, farms, businesses, schools, churches, hospitals, public green spaces, urban areas, road sides, roof spaces, communities, and nations.

Despite differences in natural-economic and water conditions, the Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asian countries (EECCA) face similar challenges and opportunities.This fact was confirmed at the Regional Conference of Water Management and Irrigation Organizations of the EECCA countries held on 5–8 November 2018. Although the region as a whole is water sufficient (mainly, through Russia, Kazakhstan, and the Caucasian states), the global trend of growing water scarcity can be seen in the region as well. The paper assesses prospective water supply in the EECCA region based on inputs of representatives of 11 countries at the above mentioned Conference. Growing water scarcity, which especially aggravates the overall situation in dry years, leads to the need to take coordinated measures to overcome this scarcity for cooperation and water, energy and food security. The main destructive factors are population growth, climate change, and a country, which lags in development (Afghanistan). Solutions to be made in response include water conservation, cooperation, and innovations.

Exploring effective indicators is significant for the assessment of the bearing performance degradation, which is crucial to realize the condition-based maintenance. In this paper, the cross-fuzzy entropy is introduced and is used to measure the similarity of patterns between normal signals and tested signals of the rolling element bearings, and the degree of similarity is used as an indicator of the bearing performance degradation. The original cross-fuzzy entropy focuses on the local characteristics of the signal and neglects its global trend. However, the global characteristics and global trends of bearing vibration signals may vary as the bearings degrade gradually. Therefore, a change has been made in the implementation of the original cross-fuzzy entropy algorithm to overcome this limitation and the modified cross-fuzzy entropy is more suitable for reflecting the whole degradation process of rolling element bearings. The experimental results demonstrate that the modified cross-fuzzy entropy can assess the bearing performance degradation process over their whole life time clearly and effectively.

The emergence of a giant like China changes the landscape. The potential localization of multinational companies' R&D centers into emerging countries changes the analytical perspective. This phenomenon moves the knowledge frontier and creates a real paradigm change in terms of innovation and technology transfer. On the one hand, we confirm the global trend of knowledge sources implied in previous studies and we demonstrate that multinationals might now choose emergent countries as a strategic place to externalize R&D. On the other hand, we go further by empirically showing the phenomena of reverse innovation and reverse technology transfer in the pharmaceutical sector.

Data on the extent of water reuse, its characteristics and social perception is scarce, notably for developing countries. To characterize reuse in Nicaragua, a water-rich country, use of effluents from 22 wastewater treatment plants was surveyed on-site, in combination with a literature review and surveys of government institutions, water utilities and farmers. It was found that 50% of the effluents were reused unplanned for agricultural irrigation on 247.25 ha of land. This is a 58% increase over an estimate made in 2002. The main crops irrigated were bananas, tobacco and fodder. Reuse was welcomed by farmers because it increased their income by 1.9 times. Farmers felt that government should set up programmes to control water reuse to make the practice more reliable and to increase access to treated wastewater. For water utilities, reuse was of interest as there are currently no funds available to treat wastewater to a tertiary level to control the eutrophication of surface water or to properly disinfect the effluents to meet national standards. Our results led the government institutions to consider reuse as an interesting option to control eutrophication and to improve livelihoods for farmers, provided the procedures for application of the treated wastewater are improved.

This chapter provides an introduction to the new global phenomenon of Women’s Mediator Networks, focusing on the legal basis for their creation and locating them within broader foreign policy objectives. Seeking to address the apparent invisibility of women in the field of mediation, several new Networks have been created with the aim of increasing the representation of women in high-level mediation and the visibility of women mediators at all levels. These Networks have been created as Foreign Policy tools, pursuant to commitments made in National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325. Given the relative infancy of the Networks and the absence of much scholarly scrutiny of their creation, the chapter provides an overview of the creation, aims and objectives of the Networks, and identifies some conceptual and practical challenges that the Networks must navigate if they are to be successful in increasing the representation of women in the peace mediation field.

ABSTRACT The in vitro propagation of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum × grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitam.), one of the world’s most important ornamentals, is a very well-studied topic and shows numerous strides each year. This mini-review condenses the knowledge that has been published on chrysanthemum biotechnology, especially in vitro culture in the wider plant science literature. In 2013 and 2014, important strides were made in molecular breeding, particularly anti-viral strategies, including through transgenics, and our understanding of flower genetics and flowering regulation.
