Agriculture in West Africa faces the challenge of meeting the rising demand for food as national incomes and populations increase while production becomes more uncertain due to climate change. Crop production models can provide helpful information on agricultural yields under a range of climate change scenarios and on the impact of adaptation strat...

Drylands cover ca. 40% of the land surface and are hypothesised to play a major role in the global carbon cycle, controlling both long-term trends and interannual variation. These insights originate from land surface models (LSMs) that have not been extensively calibrated and evaluated for water-limited ecosystems. We need to learn more about dryla...

Usually, optimizing productivity and optimizing worker well-being are separate tasks performed by engineers with different roles and goals using different tools. This results in a silo effect which can lead to a slow development process and suboptimal solutions, with one of the objectives, either productivity or worker well-being, being given prece...

Streptomyces mobaraensis transglutaminase (TGase) is extracellularly expressed as a zymogen and then activated by TGase-activating protease (TAP). In this study, we reported the strategy for improving TGase production via the regulation of TAP activity in S. mobaraensis. First, we analyzed the effects of three inorganic nitrogen sources on TGase pr...

Volcanic ash improves the amount of nutritive elements in the lake and ocean, but it is not fully understood how volcanic ash influences the total organic matter content (TOC) and bio-precursor, and the scope. A volcanic layer, measuring 5 cm in thickness, was examined using electron microscopy scanning, TOC/TS, rock pyrolytic, and inorganic geoche...
