This paper argues that global climate change and public health considerations suggest that significant effort should be directed to the improvement of biomass-burning cook stoves used by billions in the developing world.
Despite of concerted research efforts directed to pigeonpea improvement, stagnated productivity of pigeonpea during last several decades may be accounted to prevalence of various biotic and abiotic constraints and the situation is exacerbated by availability of inadequate genomic resources to undertake any molecular breeding programme for accelerated crop improvement.
You would also think the most direct route to improvement would be to add more staff and raise Medicaid reimbursements for nursing homes.
Now Congress has directed EPA to document improvements to the process and to ask the academies to review up to three of its toxicity assessments.
As the body of scientific knowledge on the physics and chemistry of coal combustion grew, it was used to direct the improvements to efficiency required and, later, the control of pollutants produced during the combustion of coal.
Such expectations have directed research activities to improvements in the molecular design, with varying the ruthenium oxidation state and bonding type, and to the better understanding of the basic underlying chemistry and biochemical mechanisms of cytotoxicity.
Or some other ratio, but the point is that in the end you're moving forward; as the saying goes, you never step into the same river twice, and to complain about current technology (other than to direct its improvement) is like complaining a stick hit your leg.
As a result, the Republic invited the architect Michelozzo di Bartolomeo of Florence to direct the improvement of the city's defenses.
Identifying, mapping, and characterizing these genes will be extremely useful to research and breeding efforts directed toward improvement of this crop.
However, comparatively little effort has been directed towards improvement of physiologically complex and putatively multigenic traits such as tolerance to salinity stress [ 6].
