IITA’s genebank, cowpea diversity on farms, and farmers’ welfare in Nigeria by Abel-Gautier Kouakou, Ademola Ogundapo, Melinda Smale, Nelissa Jamora, Julius Manda, Michael Abberton

“…Conclusions These findings show additional benefits from IITA’s genebank in Nigeria and that adoption of improved varieties with genebank ancestry does not contribute to the erosion of CGRs on smallholder farms in Nigeria. Policymakers and practitioners should consider these findings when analyzing the benefits of conserving crop genetic diversity in genebanks and on farms.…”

Emphasizing the Role of Human Activities and Extreme Floods in Riverbed Evolution: Inspiration from Hainan Island by Wei Zha, Xiaoqi Chen, Duofeng Wu, Siyang Yao, Zhaonan Li

“…Our findings suggest that extreme floods usually lead to a significant increase in sediment carrying capacity, followed by severe erosion of the riverbed. In addition, combining with the decrease in sediment concentration and grainsize caused by human activities, the rebuilding effect on riverbeds would be magnified. …”

Efecto de prácticas agroecológicas en la conservación del suelo de la Zona de Reserva Campesina de San Isidro, Pradera, Valle del Cauca* by Sandra Patricia Montenegro-Gómez, Libia Esperanza Nieto-Gómez, Reinaldo Giraldo-Díaz

“…Se concluye que el actual manejo agroecológico realizado por la comunidad requiere incorporación de materia orgánica teniendo en cuenta la textura del suelo de cada agroecosistema para mejorar condiciones relacionadas con aireación, humedad y erosión del suelo. Se evidenciaron resultados promisorios en indicadores biológicos del suelo; sin embargo, se requieren esfuerzos adicionales para fortalecer su potencial ya que muchas propiedades evaluadas son el reflejo de multiples procesos, por lo tanto, es necesario establecer vínculos directos entre la biodiversidad del suelo y la producción de cultivos para implementar las prácticas de gestión.…”

In situ forming gels as subcutaneous delivery systems of curcumin and piperine by Walter Pula, Alessia Pepe, Francesca Ferrara, Agnese Bondi, Paolo Mariani, Maria Grazia Ortore, Alessandra Pecorelli, John Ivarsson, Giuseppe Valacchi, Elisabetta Esposito

“…Mechanistic analysis and water uptake studies indicated a drug release governed by both diffusion and swelling/erosion of the lipid supramolecular structure. Furthermore, an ex vivo release analysis performed using human skin explants suggested the formulation suitability for subcutaneous injection, indicating that the presence of piperine in the in situ formed gel allowed to double the curcumin release with respect to the simple curcumin loaded gel.…”

Seepage Behavior of Earth Dams Considering Rainfall Effects by Jong-Wook Lee, Jiseong Kim, Gi-Chun Kang

“…In general, reservoir water levels sharply rise during this period and rock-fill dams are exposed to various types of damages such as soil erosion and piping related to seepage problems. However, the detection of seepage problems is generally more difficult because rainfall directly flows into a V-notch weir according to a downstream shell in which seepage rates can be measured downstream. …”
