An Investigation into Improving the Germination Rates of Aloe Polyphylla Schönland Ex Pillans by Carl Berthold

“…The best results (90% germination) were obtained by vernalising the seeds for two weeks and then placing them in a sunny, but not bright, area with varying temperatures on a water-based medium of either 10% recommended fertiliser solution or in distilled water. The germination of Aloe polyphylla was also compared to three other species in the genus: A. branddraaiensis Groenew, A. castanea Schönl and A. elegans Tod.. …”

Pre- and post-insemination episodes of sexual selection in the fowl, Gallus g. domesticus. by Pizzari, T, Froman, D, Birkhead, T

“…However, although social status mediates the number of sperm that a male inseminates into a female, dominant males may inseminate sperm of lower fertilising quality than their subordinates. We argue that mitochondrial genes may contribute to determine sperm quality, and speculate that the maternal control of mitochondrial genes may prevent sexual selection from operating on males, thus explaining both the lack of a positive correlation between social dominance and sperm quality and the maintenance of variation in male quality in the fowl.…”

A global, spatially granular techno-economic analysis of offshore green ammonia production by Salmon, N, Bañares-Alcántara, R

“…Green ammonia can be produced from intermittent renewables, and can be dispatched as a hydrogen carrier, energy vector, shipping fuel, or decarbonised fertiliser. It is well suited to marine production — it benefits from the ocean's reliable wind resource, is easily transportable, can be stored cheaply under mild conditions, and only requires water, power and air for production. …”
