The major European population of the lesser kestrel Falco naumanni, a migratory falcon listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive, occurs in low-input farming systems in the Mediterranean basin, including Greece. The aim of this study was to identify foraging habitats of lesser kestrels and relate them to the delimited SPAs in the agro-ecosystems of Greece, where the stronghold of the species population for Greece occurs. Foraging habitat preferences were assessed using Poisson regression models (PRMs). SPAs were examined on whether they can effectively protect foraging habitats for breeding lesser kestrels in the study area. Foraging lesser kestrel abundance was positively associated with grasslands and non-irrigated land (dry cereals), and negatively associated with irrigated land (wet cotton), scrubland and woodland. Electricity facilities were used as foraging perches by lesser kestrels. The current SPAs cover a small percentage of the species’ foraging sites and cannot be considered coherent enough to support and protect the foraging habitats of lesser kestrels and other priority species in the agro-ecosystems of the study area. Proposals for effective conservation of low-input farming systems, supporting priority species, are also presented.","PeriodicalId":14977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural science & technology A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88028787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Respondents were taken from sheep farmers in the village Munggangsari and Wonocoyo with the number of livestock ownership of at least two tails. This study used a survey method, with sampling of respondents in the census. The results showed the average number of sheep ownership as much as 0.47 animal units (AU) with a range of 0.14 AU to 1.15 AU. The largest population structure is lamb (25.66%), ewe (23.03%), ram (18.61%), ram lamb (16.92%) and ewe lamb (15.79%). Sex ratio of ram: ewe is 1:1.5 for adult sheep and 1:1.2 for lambs. Weight of ram is 26.75 kg and ewes 26.37 kg; weight of male lamb is 8.42 kg, with average daily gain (ADG) 48.11 g/head/day, while the female lamb 6.61 kg with ADG 44.13 g/head/day. The average sheep lambing interval was 8.4 months, with an average litter size of 1.3 tails. Based on the calculation of the adequacy of feed, the obtained level of sufficiency (feed production ratio and feed requirement) is 1.89, which means the area has adequate feed production. It was concluded that sheep productivity was good enough and potentially to be developed in Kaliangkrik region.","PeriodicalId":14977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural science & technology A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84770589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In traditional medicines, the seeds and leaves are used to treat skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. Limited antibacterial activity has been reported for this plant. The present study aimed to screen the decoction and methanolic extracts of the seeds and leaves of M. fragrans against Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 6571, five strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC 10662, Escherichia coli NCTC 10418, as well as essential oils from both parts against a panel of resistant bacteria and Candida spp. in order to identify potential antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated using well (well diameter: 12 mm) and disc diffusion methods (disc diameter: 6 mm). The decoction and methanolic extract of leaves and methanolic extract of seeds of M. fragrans showed inhibitory activity against S. aureus and all five MRSA strains with zones of inhibition (ZOI) = 16.0 ± 0.0 mm to 19.0 ± 0.0 mm. The decoction and methanolic extract of both parts did not show inhibitory activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa. However, both essential oils showed inhibitory activity against S. aureus and the five MRSA strains, as well as E. coli (ZOI = 9-15 mm). The essential oils from seed showed activity against all tested multi-resistant bacteria (ZOI = 7-12 mm). The essential oils from leaves showed activity against Klebsiella pnemoniae, Acinetobacter spp., Enterobacter cloacae and group A beta-haemolytic streptococcus (ZOI = 8-12 mm). The essential oils showed inhibitory activity against all tested Candida species (ZOI = 8-15 mm). The decoction, methanolic extract and essential oils of leaves have potential activity against sensitive and resistant S. aureus. This is the first report of inhibition of multi-resistant bacteria and Candida spp. by the essential oils of leaves and seeds of M. fragrans which could be utilized for pharmaceutical applications.","PeriodicalId":14977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural science & technology A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81906056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was based on analysis of data collected from 734 farm household heads and employed probit regression model to analyze the determinants of adaptation to climate change through SLM measures. Based on the model result, factors, like perception of climate change, exposure to adaptation techniques, education, perception of land degradation, slope, land prone to degradation, number of parcels, crop enterprise income, land size, farm distance, economically active family size and agro-ecology are found important in determining farmers’ decision to use structural land management practices. Likewise, perception of climate change, exposure to adaptation, farming experience, slope, crop enterprise income, land prone to degradation and agro-ecology are found important in affecting farmers’ decision to use non-structural land management practices as adaptation measure. Therefore, in line with the findings of the analysis, any intervention that promotes use of land management practices as adaptation strategy should take into account agro-ecology specific factors that are relevant to the nature of the land management practices. Moreover, since scaling up of SLM practices as adaptation strategy is resource intensive, it requires both public and non-public investment for providing technological support and raising awareness. Failure to do so would adversely affect crop productivity and exacerbate food insecurity problems at farm household level.","PeriodicalId":14977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural science & technology A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74877809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an instructional environment, the basic LabVIEW software processes provide simulation model of virtual sensors and their associated acceleration output from virtual motion input. This simulation can be used as part of an inclusive perception academic training system for engineering programs. Three virtual accelerometers were used to demonstrate the utility of simulating the acceleration force and vibration principles. A new LabVIEW front panel was developed to represent the sum of the simulation forces acting on each of the 3-axis semi-accelerometers. Thus, raw data strings of the 3-axis semi-accelerometers could be input as simulated real data and analyzed for time and the x , y , z -axis coordinate values. The toolkit of the LabVIEW platform is easy to implement, so engineers and scientists, who are very interested in knowing recent applications of the modern technology and the impact of its development processes, could be able to recognize the LabVIEW toolkits structure optimally, have a comprehensive practice with it and possess an extensive concept of the analysis techniques of this engineering language. Completely, the platform can also be quickly reconfigured to meet any specific laboratory technical requirements. So, this simulation study is underpinning of the accelerated coordinates understanding and has also been exclusive to create a virtual and vital acceleration application via the LabVIEW driver software.","PeriodicalId":14977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural science & technology A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76632887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
