TL;DR: The authors assesses consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for European Union geographical indication quality labels [Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGI), organic farming label and other product quality cues.
Abstract: This paper assesses consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for European Union geographical indication quality labels [Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGI)], organic farming label and other product quality cues. Using a choice experiment, random parameter logit model and olive oil as product of interest, results suggest that respondents are willing to pay the highest premium price for a product with a PDO label, followed by organic farming label, a quality cue describing the product as extra-virgin olive oil and then a PGI label.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the Upsilon production cross section in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.1 +/- 0.81 nb.
Abstract: The Upsilon production cross section in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is measured using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.1 +/- 0.3 inverse picobarns. Integrated over the rapidity range |y|<2, we find the product of the Upsilon(1S) production cross section and branching fraction to dimuons to be sigma(pp to Upsilon(1S) X) B(Upsilon(1S) to mu+ mu-) = 7.37 +/- 0.13^{+0.61}_{-0.42}\pm 0.81 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is associated with the estimation of the integrated luminosity of the data sample. This cross section is obtained assuming unpolarized Upsilon(1S) production. If the Upsilon(1S) production polarization is fully transverse or fully longitudinal the cross section changes by about 20%. We also report the measurement of the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S), and Upsilon(3S) differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity.

TL;DR: Based on biomass production, water relations, leaf ions accumulation, leaf and root abscisic acid and stomatal conductance measurements, a specific EC value was identified at which a sharp increase of the shoot and root ABA levels coincided with a decreased sensitivity ofStomatal response to ABA.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the XPD/ERCC1-GAT haplotype may modulate leukaemia and possibly other cancer risks and that the combined effects of polymorphisms within these DNA repair genes, smoking and other risk factors may help to clarify the influence of genetic variation in the carcinogenic process.
Abstract: Environmental carcinogens contained in air pollution, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic amines or N-nitroso compounds, predominantly form DNA adducts but can also generate interstrand cross-links and reactive oxygen species. If unrepaired, such lesions increase the risk of somatic mutations and cancer. Our study investigated the relationships between 22 polymorphisms (and their haplotypes) in 16 DNA repair genes belonging to different repair pathways in 1094 controls and 567 cancer cases (bladder cancer, 131; lung cancer, 134; oral-pharyngeal cancer, 41; laryngeal cancer, 47; leukaemia, 179; death from emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 84). The design was a case-control study nested within a prospective investigation. Among the many comparisons, few polymorphisms were associated with the diseases at the univariate analysis: XRCC1-399 Gln/Gln variant homozygotes [odds ratios (OR) = 2.20, 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.16-4.17] and XRCC3-241 Met/Met homozygotes (OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.27-0.96) and leukaemia. The recessive model in the stepwise multivariate analysis revealed a possible protective effect of XRCC1-399Gln/Gln in lung cancer (OR = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.05-0.98), and confirmed an opposite effect (OR = 2.47, 95% CI = 1.02-6.02) in the leukaemia group. Our results also suggest that the XPD/ERCC1-GAT haplotype may modulate leukaemia (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.02-1.61), bladder cancer (OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.06-1.79) and possibly other cancer risks. Further investigations of the combined effects of polymorphisms within these DNA repair genes, smoking and other risk factors may help to clarify the influence of genetic variation in the carcinogenic process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the combined effect of increasing concentrations of NaCl in the irrigation water and fertilization with different nitrogen sources on the chemical composition of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum mill.) fruit was investigated.
Abstract: SummaryThe combined effect of increasing concentrations of NaCl in the irrigation water and fertilization with different nitrogen sources on the chemical composition of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit was investigated. Increasing water salinity from 0.5.dS m-1 (non-salinized control) to 15.7.dS m-1 resulted in both reduced fruit size and fruit water content, whereas it caused an increase in soluble solids, carbohydrates, sodium and chloride concentrations. Titratable acidity increased upon irrigation with saline water, whereas the fruit redness significantly decreased. In addition, salinity reduced P, K+, Mg2+ and NO3- fruit concentrations. Total carotenoids and lycopene concentrations expressed on both fresh- and dry-weight basis gradually increased from the non-salinized control to the 4.4.dS m-1 treatment (approximately 0.25% NaCl w/v) and they decreased at electrical conductivities of the irrigation water higher than 4.4.dS m-1. Overall these data show that it is possible to improve carot...
