A study was conducted to examine fodder yield and silage quality of maize (Zea mays L.) and climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) intercropping with different planting structure. Maize was cultivated alone and intercropped with climbing bean as follows;1 row maize to 1 row climbing bean (1M1K), 1 row maize to 2 rows climbing bean (1M2K) and 2 rows maize to 1 row climbing bean (2M1K). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with four treatments and three replications. The crops were harvested when the maize reached at milk stage and climbing bean at R7 stage. The results indicated significant increase in fresh biomass and dry matter production of maize fodder alone as compared to maize intercropped with climbing bean fodder. However, no difference (p>0.05) was observed in ether extract (EE), and ash (%) of nutrient composition of fodder among the four treatments After 45 days of ensiling period, silage samples were analysed for pH, organic acids (lactic, acetic, and butyric), ammonia-N(NH3-N), dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), water soluble carbohydrate (WSC), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and potassium (K). All intercropped silages had higher CP values (1M1K, 12.0%; 1M2K, 12.3%; 2M1K, 11.1%) than the monocrop maize (SM, 8.9%) silage. Higher organic acids and ammonia-N (p<0.05) were produced in the 1M2K silages as compared to others silages. The study showed that among all intercropped silages the 1M2K (1 row maize to 2 rows climbing bean) was preferable according to nutrient composition than other intercropped silages.

"Abstract: Babys können rechnen / zählen Six-month-old infants discriminate between large sets of objects on the basis of numerosity when other extraneous variables are controlled, provided that the sets to be discriminated differ by a large ratio (8 vs. 16 but not 8 vs. 12). The capacities to represent approximate numerosity found in adult animals and humans evidently develop in human infants prior to language and symbolic counting."

The Haiti Memory Project is an  oral history project about the January 12, 2010, earthquake and post-earthquake life. The earthquake is a point-zero in the lives of individual Haitians and in Haitian history; it is a moment that divided time into "before" and "after". The project attempts to document that change.

" Das belege erstmals, dass Elektroakupunktur tatsächlich die physiologischen Folgen von chronischem Stress lindern kann - und dass eine Scheinakupunktur diesen Effekt nicht habe. Nach Ansicht der Forscher sind ihre Ergebnisse zumindest ein Indiz dafür, dass Akupunktur auch beim Menschen gegen chronischen Stress wirken könnte. Allerdings müsse man erst noch in klinischen Studien testen, ob der bei Ratten beobachtete Effekt auch beim Menschen auftrete. "Aber wir beginnen nun zumindest zu verstehen, was bei der Akupunktur auf molekularer Ebene passiert", sagt Eshkevari. #placebo !?!?

"Temperatur-Sturz in der Antike Wie Nof und seine Kollegen im Journal of Paleolimnology (DOI: 10.1007/s10933-005-1996-1) berichten, kam es in der Region um den See Kinneret - dem biblische See Genezareth bzw. dem Galiläischen Meer - in den letzten 12.000 Jahren wahrscheinlich immer wieder zu überraschenden Eisbildungen. Zwar, so Nof, ist es in der jüngeren Geschichte dort nicht mehr zu solchen Wetter-Phänomenen gekommen. Vor 1500 bis 2500 Jahren, als die Atmosphären-Temperatur mindestens drei Grad niedriger lag als heute, war das aber sehr wahrscheinlich immer wieder der Fall. Die Ursache für die immer wieder auftretende Eisbildung hängt mit Besonderheiten des Galiläischen Meeres zusammen. "

Amazing what can be made from a bit of background noise in the GEO600 with a bit of imagination (or desire). Intriguing article from 12 months ago. No new information since....

The most distant known galaxy to host a supermassive black hole has been discovered in a galaxy that formed in the early history of the universe. The galaxy, as large as the Milky Way, is about 12.8 billion light-years away and harbors a supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as much matter as our sun.

ScienceDaily (Jan. 12, 2011) - Scientists have found that the pleasurable experience of listening to music releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain important for more tangible pleasures associated with rewards such as food, drugs and sex. The new study from The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -- The Neuro at McGill University also reveals that even the anticipation of pleasurable music induces dopamine release [as is the case with food, drug, and sex cues]. Published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, the results suggest why music, which has no obvious survival value, is so significant across human society.

It sounds like something a guided missile would do. Foxes seem to zero in on prey using Earth's magnetic field. They are the first animal thought to use the field to judge distance rather than just direction.

ETHEREAL quantum entanglement has been captured in solid crystals, showing that it is more robust than once assumed. These entanglement traps could make quantum computing and communication more practical.

It's not quite Cyclops, the sci-fi superhero from the X-Men franchise whose eyes produce destructive blasts of light, but for the first time a laser has been created using a biological cell. The human kidney cell that was used to make the laser survived the experience. In future such "living lasers" might be created inside live animals, which could potentially allow internal tissues to be imaged in unprecedented detail. It's not the first unconventional laser. Other attempts include lasers made of Jell-O and powered by nuclear reactors (see box below). But how do you go about giving a living cell this bizarre ability? Typically, a laser consists of two mirrors on either side of a gain medium - a material whose structural properties allow it to amplify light. A source of energy such as a flash tube or electrical discharge excites the atoms in the gain medium, releasing photons. Normally, these would shoot out in random directions, as in the broad beam of a flashlight, but a laser uses mirrors on either end of the gain medium to create a directed beam. As photons bounce back and forth between the mirrors, repeatedly passing through the gain medium, they stimulate other atoms to release photons of exactly the same wavelength, phase and direction. Eventually, a concentrated single-frequency beam of light erupts through one of the mirrors as laser light.

With help of organic farming, you can increase crop production as well as can increase the life of soil too.

"Personen mit vergleichsweise viel braunem Fett weniger Schwankungen in ihrem Blutzuckerspiegel über einen Zeitraum von 12 Stunden aufweisen als Menschen, die wenig braunes Fett besitzen. "Ausgeprägte Schwankungen des Blutzuckerspiegels gelten als ein Warnzeichen für Diabetes", sagt Lee"

Conferences provide best opportunities for the different areas delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. Conferences may be a fun way to learn things and are organized round the year for people to share their idea which they have developed on a particular topic and to get a hang about what others are working on. When it comes to learning about banking and finances, there are seldom better ways than visiting a conference on the same which are being held in various regions of the world.

Alkaline protease was extracted by liquid culture of Bacillus licheniformis NO.2709. This product is an enzyme preparation catalyzing protein hydrolysis under alkaline condition (PH during 9-12). It is suitable for industries such as enzymatic detergent, leather depilation, silk degumming, and protein hydrolysis.
