Agronomic Management of Indigenous Mycorrhizas

Many of the advantages conferred to plants by arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) are associated to the ability of AM plants to explore a greater volume of soil through the extraradical mycelium. Sieverding (1991) estimates that for each centimetre of colonized root there is an increase of 15 cm3 on the volume of soil explored, this value can increase to 200 cm3 depending on the circumstances. Due to the enhancement of the volume of soil explored and the ability of the extraradical mycelium to absorb and translocate nutrients to the plant, one of the most obvious and important advantages resulting from mycorrhization is the uptake of nutrients. Among of which the ones that have immobilized forms in soil, such as P, assume particular significance. Besides this, many other benefits are recognized for AM plants (Gupta et al, 2000): water stress alleviation (Augé, 2004; Cho et al, 2006), protection from root pathogens (Graham, 2001), tolerance to toxic heavy metals and phytoremediation (Audet and Charest, 2006; Göhre and Paszkowski, 2006), tolerance to adverse conditions such as very high or low temperature, high salinity (Sannazzaro et al, 2006), high or low pH (Yano and Takaki, 2005) or better performance during transplantation shock (Subhan et al, 1998). The extraradical hyphae also stabilize soil aggregates by both enmeshing soil particles (Miller e Jastrow, 1992) and producing a glycoprotein, golmalin, which may act as a glue-like substance to adhere soil particles together (Wright and Upadhyaya, 1998). Despite the ubiquous distribution of mycorrhizal fungi (Smith and Read, 2000) and only a relative specificity between host plants and fungal isolates (McGonigle and Fitter, 1990), the obligate nature of the symbiosis implies the establishment of a plant propagation system, either under greenhouse conditions or in vitro laboratory propagation. These techniques result in high inoculum production costs, which still remains a serious problem since they are not competitive with production costs of phosphorus fertilizer. Even if farmers understand the significance of sustainable agricultural systems, the reduction of phosphorus inputs by using AM fungal inocula alone cannot be justified except, perhaps, in the case of high value crops (Saioto and Marumoto, 2002). Nurseries, high income horticulture farmers and no-agricultural application such as rehabilitation of degraded or devegetated landscapes are examples of areas where the use of commercial inoculum is current. Another serious problem is quality of commercial available products concerning guarantee of phatogene free content, storage conditions, most effective application methods and what types to use. Besides the information provided by suppliers about its inoculum can be deceiving, as from the usually referred total counts, only a fraction may be effective for a particular plant or in specific soil conditions. Gianinazzi and Vosátka (2004) assume that progress should be made towards registration procedures that stimulate the development of the mycorrhizal industry. Some on-farm inoculum production and application methods have been studied, allowing farmers to produce locally adapted isolates and generate a taxonomically diverse inoculum (Mohandas et al, 2004; Douds et al, 2005). However the inocula produced this way are not readily processed for mechanical application to the fields, being an obstacle to the utilization in large scale agriculture, especially row crops, moreover it would represent an additional mechanical operation with the corresponding economic and soil compaction costs. It is well recognized that inoculation of AM fungi has a potential significance in not only sustainable crop production, but also environmental conservation. However, the status quo of inoculation is far from practical technology that can be widely used in the field. Together a further basic understanding of the biology and diversity of AM fungi is needed (Abbott at al, 1995; Saito and Marumoto, 2002). Advances in ecology during the past decade have led to a much more detailed understanding of the potential negative consequences of species introductions and the potential for negative ecological consequences of invasions by mycorrhizal fungi is poorly understood. Schwartz et al, (2006) recommend that a careful assessment documenting the need for inoculation, and the likelihood of success, should be conducted prior to inoculation because inoculations are not universally beneficial. Agricultural practices such as crop rotation, tillage, weed control and fertilizer apllication all produce changes in the chemical, physical and biological soil variables and affect the ecological niches available for occupancy by the soil biota, influencing in different ways the symbiosis performance and consequently the inoculum development, shaping changes and upset balance of native populations. The molecular biology tools developed in the latest years have been very important for our perception of these changes, ensuing awareness of management choice implications in AM development. In this context, for extensive farming systems and regarding environmental and economic costs, the identification of agronomic management practices that allow controlled manipulation of the fungal community and capitalization of AM mutualistic effect making use of local inoculum, seem to be a wise option for mycorrhiza promotion and development of sustainable crop production

Serious games and branding

The gaming market is expanding to include not only traditional nonprofit firms but also for-profit and hybrid entities that have strong social values and missions. Specifically, due to high pressures from the part of social activists, companies are trying to respond through developing CSR strategies in order to appear more legitimate to their publics (Van Cranenburgh, Liket, & Roome, 2013). While previous papers have documented the trend of INGOs using serious games (SGs) for education-entertainment (Arora & Itu, 2010) the phenomenon of companies branding themselves and their causes through SGs have not been adequately addressed to this day. This thesis examines a wide array of SGs, developed from various types of organizations, aiming at raising awareness and stimulating activism. This taxonomy aims to shed more light on the ways branding differs not only among the non-profit and commercial sector but also among larger and smaller companies, generating patterns that will not only contribute to the existing SGs’ research but bring a real life perspective of how the CSR sector and the SG entwine. In addition, as social issues require far more resources than any single organization is capable of mobilizing independently, my main focus will be to investigate potential emerging partnerships and social alliances that span the non-profit and for-profit boundary and create hybrid entities of professional and educational pillars working in tandem. Therefore, through analyzing with a content and comparative analysis the ways in which each organization promotes their SGs and through exploring their design and narratives through auto-ethnography, this paper highlights the various schemes leading to activism, portraying different and novel branding patterns

Assessment of coupled models of bridges considering time-dependent vehicular loading

Bridge vibration due to traffic loading has been a subject of extensive research in the last decades. The focus of such research has been to develop solution algorithms and investigate responses or behaviors of interest. However, proving the quality and reliability of the model output in structural engineering has become a topic of increasing importance. Therefore, this study is an attempt to extend concepts of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to assess the dynamic response of a coupled model in bridge engineering considering time-dependent vehicular loading. A setting for the sensitivity analysis is proposed, which enables performing the sensitivity analysis considering random stochastic processes. The classical and proposed sensitivity settings are used to identify the relevant input parameters and models that have the most influence on the variance of the dynamic response. The sensitivity analysis exercises the model itself and extracts results without the need for measurements or reference solutions; however, it does not offer a means of ranking the coupled models studied. Therefore, concepts of total uncertainty are employed to rank the coupled models studied according to their fitness in describing the dynamic problem. The proposed procedures are applied in two examples to assess the output of coupled subsystems and coupled partial models in bridge engineering considering the passage of a heavy vehicle at various speeds.Brückenschwingungen infolge von Verkehrslasten sind seit mehreren Jahrzehnten Gegenstand intensiver Forschung. Im Fokus stand hierbei im Besonderen die Entwicklung von Lösungsalgorithmen zur Ermittlung des dynamischen Bauwerkverhaltens. Begleitet ist diese Entwicklung von der Frage nach der Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit dieser Modelle für den Gebrauch im konstruktiven Ingenieurbau. In diesem Zusammenhang werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit Konzepte der Unsicherheits- und Sensitivitätsanalyse erweitert, um das dynamische Bauwerkverhalten unter Berücksichtigung transienter Fahrzeuglasten bei gekoppelten Modellen des Brückenbaus zu bewerten. Bestehende Sensitivitätsanalysen werden ergänzt, um diese auch unter Berücksichtigung von stochastischen Prozessen durchführen zu können. Die klassische und die erweiterte Methode werden angewandt, um relevante Eingangsparameter sowie Partialmodelle mit wesentlichem Einfluss auf die Varianz der dynamischen Strukturantwort zu identifizieren. Die mit Hilfe der Sensitivitätsanalyse ermittelbaren Kennzahlen können ohne Bezug zu einer Referenzlösung in die Modellbewertung einfließen, allerdings ist es nicht möglich, die Modelle hinsichtlich der realitätsnahen Abbildung des dynamischen Problems zu bewerten. Um dies zu ermöglichen, wurden Konzepte der Gesamtunsicherheit verwendet. Die vorgestellten Methoden wurden auf zwei Beispiele angewandt, um die Ergebnisse von gekoppelten Subsystemen und gekoppelten Partialmodellen des Brückenbaus zu evaluieren. Hierbei handelt es sich um die Überfahrt von schweren Fahrzeugen mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeiten
