Transgenic Animals: Generation and Use
ISBN: 9789057020681 / Angielski / Twarda / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) During the past 20 years, transgenesis has become a popular technique and a crucial tool for molecular geneticists and biologists. Transgene expression is now better-controlled and even specifically inducible by exogenous factors. While these techniques have quite significantly transformed the experimental approaches taken by biologists, the applications are more limited than expected and concerns have arisen regarding biosafety as well as physiological, social, and philosophical issues.

The Ecology of Tropical Food Crops: Second Edition
ISBN: 9780521410625 / Angielski / Twarda / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In tropical developing countries farmers tend to grow a wide range of crops in a small area for subsistence or sale. To make full use of often limited resources, a good understanding of how environmental conditions affect the characteristics and performance of these crops is essential. This book considers the response of tropical food crops to environmental factors such as climate, soil and farming system. Three types of crop are considered: cereals, legumes and non-cereal energy crops, with individual chapters on the four most important crops in each group. This material is set in context by...

Spatial Relationship of Crop Yields
ISBN: 9783836435253 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Systemic risk, in regard to agricultural production, refers to the spatial depen-dence of crop yields stemming from correlated weather, soil patterns, and other geographically related factors. Systemic risk has been named as a contributing factor to the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation's (FCIC) poor actuarial performance. To date, little research has explored the spatial depen-dence structure of crop yields. This book explores three aspects of the spatial dependence structure of yields; the cross-crop spatial correlation structure, the rate of crop yield spatial correlation decay, and,...

Peasants, Farmers and Scientists: A Chronicle of Tropical Agricultural Science in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9781402061653 / Angielski / Twarda / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book is a critical account of tropical agricultural science in the twentieth century, with its successes as well as its fads and failures. Its coverage reaches back into the beginning of the twentieth c- tury, but the second half of the century takes place of choice. Which means that the story is closely linked with that of post-co- nial development and scrutinises the role agricultural science has played (or failed to play) in the advancement of the tropical sma- holder, in particular in Africa. The book was written from the perspective of a practitioner, with the inevitable result that...
