To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
Modelling is key to adapting agriculture to climate change (CC), facilitating evaluation of the impacts and efficacy of adaptation measures, and the design of optimal strategies. Although there are many ...
Zebrafish as a Model to Screen the Potential of Fatty Acids in Reproduction
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-01-31)
Sperm quality is an important topic in general health, chemotherapy, and gamete preservation technology. Fatty acid (FA) composition of membranes, which is influenced by the diet, plays key roles in ...
