Impacts of changing air composition on severity of arable crop disease epidemics
(2011-02)This review assesses the impacts, both direct and indirect, of man-made changes to the composition of the air over a 200 year period on the severity of arable crop disease epidemics. The review focuses on two well-studied ... -
Impacts of changing climate and agronomic factors on fusarium ear blight of wheat in the UK
(2012-02)Climate change will have direct impacts on fusarium ear blight (FEB) in wheat crops, since weather factors greatly affect epidemics, the relative proportions of species of ear blight pathogens responsible and the production ... -
Impacts of climate change on phoma stem canker and light leaf spot on UK oilseed rape
(2011)To illustrate impacts of climate change on plant disease epidemics, an oilseed rape crop growth model, and weather-based disease forecasting models for phoma stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) and light leaf spot ... -
Impacts of climate change on wheat anthesis and fusarium ear blight in the UK
(2011)Climate change will affect both growth of agricultural crops and diseases that attack them but there has been little work to study how its impacts on crop growth influence impacts on disease epidemics. This paper investigates ... -
Impacts of fallow conditions, compost and silicate fertilizer on soil nematode community in salt–affected paddy rice fields in acid sulfate and alluvial soils in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
(2021-02-26)Avoidance of intensive rice cultivation (IRC) and soil amendments are potential practices to enhance soil properties. There is only limited information on the effects of reduced IRC and its mixture with compost or silicate ... -
Impacts of horizontal and vertical foreign investment in business services : The experience of Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic
(2011-10)This article examines the impact of foreign direct investment in business services on the economies of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia and their place in the European division of labour. A distinction is drawn ... -
Impacts of nuclear-physics uncertainty in stellar temperatures on the s-process nucleosynthesis
(The Physical Society of Japan, 2017-02-28)We evaluated the uncertainty relevant to s-process nucleosynthesis using a Monte-Carlo centred approach. We are based on a realistic and general prescription of temperature dependent uncertainty for the reactions. We ... -
Impacts of organic amendments on carbon stocks of an agricultural soil - Comparison of model-simulations to measurements
(2012-11-01)Organic amendments such as straw, green manure or farmyard manure are used to mitigate the soil carbon (C) losses from cultivated soils. We investigated the role of various organic amendments with different C quality for ... -
Impacts of regional productivity growth, decoupling and pollution leakage
(2017-09-02)Impacts of regional productivity growth, decoupling and pollution leakage. Regional Studies. This paper examines the issues of decoupling regional economic growth and pollution and the extent to which pollution effects ... -
Impacts of saltwater intrusion on soil nematodes community in alluvial and acid sulfate soils in paddy rice fields in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
(2021-03-01)Saltwater intrusion is a potential risk damaging crop diversity and productivity due to degraded soil physicochemical properties. However, little is known about how salinity affects the structure and function of soil ... -
Impacts of Scene Geometry and Vehicle Speed on the Performance of RFID based AVI/ETC System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-06-28)Passive UHF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a potential technology for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems. However, the identification performance is often seriously ... -
Impaired context maintenance in mild to moderately depressed students
(2009)We test the hypothesis that people with depression experience difficulties in maintaining task-relevant context information over longer periods of time using the AX version of the continuous performance task (AX-CPT). The ... -
Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis at high shear using a point-of-care test in STEMI is associated with alterations in clot architecture
(2019-04-01)Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is an adverse prognostic biomarker in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Abnormally dense in vitro fibrin thrombi have been demonstrated in ACS patients and related to hypofibrinolysis using ... -
Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention is a predictor of recurrent cardiovascular events : the RISK PPCI study
(2019-01-14)Aims: The endogenous fibrinolytic system serves to prevent lasting thrombotic occlusion and infarction following initiation of coronary thrombosis. We aimed to determine whether impaired endogenous fibrinolysis can identify ... -
Impaired endogenous thrombolysis in acute coronary syndrome patients predicts cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction
(2010)Objectives: Our objective was to assess endogenous thrombolytic activity in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and relate this to their likelihood of future adverse cardiovascular events. Background: Spontaneous lysis ... -
Impaired executive functioning after left anterior insular stroke: : a case report
(2015-03-04)Given the insular’s anatomic complexity and functional interconnectivity, acute lesions may result in varied clinical presentations, including autonomic, somatosensory, perceptual, motor, affective, and cognitive deficits. ... -
Impaired facial emotion recognition in patients with ventromedial prefrontal hypoperfusion
(2014-07-01)Empathy refers to our ability to recognize and share emotions by another human being. Impairment may underlie many of the emotional deficits commonly associated with a range of neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions. ... -
Impaired hypoxic response in senescent mouse brain
(2011-10)Tissue hypoxia leads to activation of endogenous adaptive responses that involve a family of prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins (PHD1-3) with oxygen sensing properties, hypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIFs), and ...
