Two crop growth experiments in the soil-based closed ecological facility, Laboratory Biosphere, were conducted from 2003 to 2004 with candidate space life support crops.
An experiment utilizing cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata L ., pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L). and Apogee ultra-dwarf wheat (Triticum sativa L). was conducted in the soil-based closed ecological facility, Laboratory Biosphere, from February to May 2005.
Experimentation showed there were environmental differences even in this 1200 cubic foot ecological system facility, such as temperature and humidity gradients because of ventilation and airflow patterns which resulted in consequent variations in plant growth and yield.
14. Appropriate biodiversity informatics tools will generate greater impact than is currently possible from the physical infrastructure of natural history collections, mesocosms, other experimental facilities, long-term ecological monitoring sites and genomics facilities, through much greater digital and on-line access to the facilities than is physically practical.
No significant differences were observed in wealth quintile, time taken to the nearest government health facility, or ecological zone (Table 2).
The objective of this paper is to assess the prevalence and inequalities (by age, level of education, economic status, caste/ethnicity, access to health facility, and ecological zone) in the use of modern family planning methods, among married women of reproductive age in rural Nepal.
All of the predictors (mother's age, education, economic status, caste/ethnicity, distance to health facilities, and ecological zone) were used in the final adjusted model.
He is currently working on three large power plants -- one in New Hampshire and two in Queens -- where he hopes ecological design makes these intimidating facilities better neighbors.
Au Bois Joli owners Henriëtte and Robert have plans for improvement though the site is staggering in its friendliness, reverence for wild flora and fauna, ecological outlook, location, views and facilities.
The calculation of the Ecological Footprint in the textile facilities can be used as a tool to analyze the processes' energy efficiency and to quantify the global impact of the implementation of mitigation measures in the energy field.
As spatial variations were related to the behavioural and ecological aspects of fishes, marine facilities should be carefully planned, and engineering principles should be combined with ecological processes to better resemble natural habitats, thereby reducing environmental impacts.
