Impact of Different Levels of Supplemental Irrigation on Olive ProductivityCGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems
This study evaluated the impact of different levels of supplemental irrigation on olive productivity in Syria. The objectives were to enhance yields, minimize fluctuations, and increase water productivity. Treatments included rainfed (control), irrigating at 100% of crop water requirements (CWR), and 50% CWR. Results from 2012 showed that irrigation increased yields by 33-96% compared to rainfed. Applying 50% CWR increased yields over rainfed, with further gains from 100% CWR. Irrigation also improved water productivity and oil yields. Cost-benefit analysis found net profits were higher under irrigation. The conclusions were that applying small amounts of irrigation in addition to rainfall can increase and stabilize yields and income.Response of Mature Olive Trees - Switching from Conventional to Drip irrigation
Response of Mature Olive Trees - Switching from Conventional to Drip irrigationCGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems
This study assessed the impact of switching from conventional flood irrigation to drip irrigation on fruit quality, oil yield, and oil composition of 36-year-old olive trees in Morocco. Five treatments were tested: flood irrigation, minimum or deep tillage with drip irrigation at 100% or 70% of crop water requirements. Results showed that highest yields and fruit weights were from deep tillage with deficit drip irrigation. Oil quality was generally improved with drip irrigation, shown by increased viscosity and stability. Sensory evaluation indicated oils from deficit drip irrigation expressed positive attributes more intensely. In conclusion, deficit drip irrigation improved olive fruit and oil quality over conventional flood irrigation.Viewers also liked (9)

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Partnerships West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
- 2. a. Which partners did we successfully engage? How will we build on them (role in research, leadership, management, etc.)? • Partners = ? • Successful engagement = ? – RinD services (contract + invoice)? – RinD sub-grants (sub-PPA + financial report)? – RinD facilitation (ability to tactically influence / arbitrate DS research at action sites / years) – RinD guidance (ability to strategically guide DS research at a regional level and over the course of the program) Top-down CG-led ‘linear/cartesian’ Bottom-up Partner-led ‘iterative/stochastic’
- 3. a. Which partners did we successfully engage? How will we build on them (role in research, leadership, management, etc.)? Partners Research Leadership Management NARS IER Mali, SARI Ghana, INRAN Niger Academia CDA Nigeria RROs Agrhymet NGOs AMEDD Mali FOs Private sector Policy MESSRS Burkina? Donors USAID, BMGF, McKnight
- 4. b. Are we going to change our partnership setup (structure and budget)? • Structure: Yes. Budget: Yes. • Involvement through regional advisory committees • Increase minimum budget allocated to partners (at least 50% of CRP budget?) • Focus on quality rather than quantity of partners (fewer partners involved at a more strategic level) – should also be reflected in budget packaging • Non-CGIAR action site coordinators (caution: trans-boundary action sites) • More budgeting power in regional coordinators not only center focal points • Impact facilitator concept – nothing to do with research, role to facilitate partnerships for innovation platforms, producing outcomes and impact – in turn will relieve scientist from doing this (e.g. through ROPPA – noise makers that can attract attention of policy easier)
- 5. c. Which main results are we expecting at regional level through partnerships? • Enhanced buy-in from partners • Partners effectively contribute to implementation of CRP • Improved ability to link into (regional) policy • Improved linkages to (governmental / national, regional) scaling-up / scaling-out mechanisms • Improved ability to target non-traditional donors (finance law) – example Adesina Nigeria • Access to pass-through funding through regional organizations (CORAF, ECOWAS)
