Abu Dhabi TCAM Conference: From the field to the pharmacy - 2013Cassandra Quave
This is a presentation given at the UAE Health Authority sponsored TCAM conference in Abu Dhabi in 2013. The title of the talk was: "From the field to the pharmacy: The important role of TCAM to the future of public health"
Abstract:
Ethnobotanical studies concerning knowledge and use of TCAM are critical for laying the groundwork for both pharmaceutical development and public health policy. In this talk, I will review some of the translational aspects of medical ethnobotany research, highlighting the importance of documenting local knowledge of TCAM practices and investigating the efficacy, safety and potential for broader public health applications (i.e. herbal supplements and pharmaceuticals). Methodology for implementation of such studies will be reviewed and potential applications of the data in UAE public health policy and practice will be discussed.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

2. • UK Horticultural industry
success (£120 million)
• But vulnerability to
pathogen spread remains
(Jung et al., 2015 review)
• Project supports industry to
limit disease risk
3. Objectives
• WP1 objective I – Using metabarcoding to analyse
community structure in nurseries and associated
ecosystems
• Providing a detailed insight into Phytophthora problems to
improve disease management and advise ‘best practice’
• WP1 objective II – Phytophthora community modelling
• Seeking explanations for variation in Phytophthora community
richness among nurseries – trade, management and ecology
4. Methods
• Questionnaire – simple (6 questions) to collect basic data
on nursery practices
• Sampling nurseries
• Broad-scale – sampling alongside statutory plant health testing
• Fine-scale – testing by project staff for more detailed breakdown
of problems and solutions
• Phytophthora detection and metabarcoding
• Computational biology to process large sequence datasets
• Interpretation and provision of feedback to owners
• Use of data for Community modelling

6. Does Phytophthora metabarcoding work?
• Primers highly specific to Phytophthora and downy
mildews
• Scibetta et al 2012
• Several publications now indicating success sampling
• Nurseries (roots and soil) (Prigigallo et al., 2016)
• Soil and water (Catala et al., 2015)
• Forests (Catala et al., 2016; Vannini et al., 2013)
• Scottish Government funded study in four Scottish
streams detected 45 ‘species’ of Phytophthora; Many new
to science and some unreported in UK to date
• Provides broad ‘baseline’ to help define what is ‘natural’
7. Sampling - theory
• Chance of interception depends on rate of epidemic
growth, sample size and sampling frequency
• “Discovery prevalence” – (Parnell et al., 2015)
• More samples taken at high frequency increases
probability of early detection
• Validation important – what are the rates of false positives
and false negatives?
• Current methods – tending to test for single quarantine
species in specific samples
8. Sampling – practical issues
• What host plants ?
• Which plant parts?
• Water flowing through pots?
• How many samples per batch?
• Symptomatic or aymptomatic plants?
• Critical control points and contamination
hazards (Parke et al 2012)
• Water supply – source and run-off
• Balance between time available and need
for detail
• Draft protocols to be circulated for
comment and nursery visit arranged
9. Variation between nurseries
• Parke et al., 2014 found differences in
Phytophthora diversity between
nurseries in Oregon
• Prigigallo et al., 2016 Metabarcoding
from roots and soil in Italian nurseries
