El acontecimiento de la muerte de Dios remite metafóricamente a la crisis de los valores, principios y conceptos creados por la razón moderna. La mue...

This book aims at elucidating the mode of transmission of Banana Streak Virus (BSV)by Mealy-bug species in Kenya and identifying any other putative vectors of BSV in samples collected from infected banana plantations. A novel DNA isolation protocol, Immunocapture PCR and Rolling Circle Amplification techniques were used in the study. The results revealed that the Paracoccus burnerae is a vector of the virus in banana plantations in Kenya. The ...

Agricultural commodity futures being blamed for food inflation in India, much interest revived among researc...

At a time of discussion about the safe use of nuclear power to generate electricity and the unsolved problem of radioactive waste deposit, the importance of hydropower is increasing. Furthermore the power market liberalization enabled the development of power generation methods, like the use of pumped storage hydro power plants, which can now be realized economically. Nevertheless the planning effort is still considerable when constructing hyd...
