What are the biological determinants of regeneration of perennial weeds? Effect of fragment weight and bud number on the regrowth of five perennial w…

2022

Perennial weeds have become an increasing problem with the reduction of herbicide use andtillage. Because of their capacity to regenerate from vegetative organs, such as roots andrhizomes, they must be controlled with different management techniques than annuals. Todate, few studies exist on this topic and farmers often lack solutions to control perennials intheir cropping systems. Management strategies must focus on the depletion of theregenerative organ reserves to hamper the production of new shoots. However, there is aneed for a better understanding of below-ground organs physiology and the determiningfactors of their regrowth capacities.Our aim was to assess the number of shoots and th…

The influence of proper vine pruning techniques on crop formation and quality of the grapes

2018

We have established the importance of proper vine pruning techniques depending on individual grape variety characteristics and its influence on crop formation and quality of the grapes. The technique of studying the influence of the length of the vine pruning on the qualitative indices of the fruit of the grapes has been proposed. Field research was carried out in 2014-2016. Agricultural technology in the experiment is commonly used for forest-steppe. The vines are planted on the plot without irrigation, the shape of the shrubs is harp multy sleeved with a knot of substitution, sheltered on a vertical trellis of 1.5 m heigh. The methods that can be used to increase the yield of grape variet…

Is the taste of fat regulated?

2013

Over the last decade, converging data have been accumulated both in rodents and humans, supporting the existence of a sixth taste modality devoted to the perception of dietary lipids. It is well known that the sense of taste is determinant for the food choice and that the overconsumption of highly palatable energy-dense foods contributes to the current obesity epidemic. Thus, an important issue in terms of Public Health is to understand the mechanisms by which the oro-sensory perception of fat is regulated. An overview of our current knowledge in this field of investigations is proposed in this mini-review.

Functional roles of the sweet taste receptor in oral and extraoral tissues

2014

International audience; Purpose of review: This review summarizes and discusses the current knowledge about the physiological roles of the sweet taste receptor in oral and extraoral tissues. Recent findings: The expression of a functional sweet taste receptor has been reported in numerous extragustatory tissues, including the gut, pancreas, bladder, brain and, more recently, bone and adipose tissues. In the gut, this receptor has been suggested to be involved in luminal glucose sensing, the release of some satiety hormones, the expression of glucose transporters, and the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. More recently, the sweet taste receptor was proposed to regulate adipogenesis and bon…

Taste Bud Density and Composition of Saliva in Patients Suffering from Taste Disorders Compared to Healthy Individuals

2016

Aim: Previous studies have shown a correlation between fungiform papillae density and acuity of taste. In addition changes of salivary composition in oral sensation complaints were observed as well. Aim of this prospective investigation was to determine correlations between the fungiform papillae density, salivary composition and taste acuity of healthy individuals and patients with idiopathic taste disorders.Material & Methods: The present study was performed in 81 patients with a mean age of 58±13 years complaining of gustatory dysfunctions and groups of 20 younger (age 24±3 years) and 20 older healthy subjects (age 55±10 years).Taste perception was measured using taste strips and electro…

Dealing with viewers’ complaints: Role, visibility and transparency of PSB Ombudsmen in ten European countries

2017

The article shows the results of a comparative analysis of the complaints management mechanisms offered by ten European Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) systems on their corporate websites. Using a qualitative methodology, it maps the procedures and evaluates the visibility, transparency and dissemination of results. The findings show, firstly, great diversity in terms of responsible election and management, despite the converging media governance. Also noteworthy is the margin of substantial improvement in the transparency and dissemination possibilities, specially relating to the interaction offered by the digital environment. Among the ten public corporations analysed, the BBC is the be…

Anàlisi sobre la figura/institució del Comissionat del menor: Pare d'Òrfens contemplada a la Llei 12/2008 de Protecció a la infància i l'adolescència…

2012

The concept / institution of the Commissioner for Children ' 'Pare d'Òrfens' appears for the first time in Valencia with Law 12/2008 on Protection of Children and Adolescents. The purpose of this article is to inform readers of the existence of this concept / institution, analysing the regulatory development that has taken place and comparing its performance with other similar concepts/institutions existing in other Spanish regions, in order to critically assess the work done in recent years. To close the paper, we give a number of conclusions drawn after completing the research on this concept / institution, including several general recommendations in the form of constructive criticism.
