Knowledge and information sharing through the AGRIS Network
"The AGRIS Network is an international initiative based on a collaborative
network of institutions, whose aim is to promote free access to 
information on science and technology in agriculture and related subjects"
(Towards an architecture for open archive networks in Agricultural 
Sciences and Technology).
http://agris.fao.org/about



The AGRIS initiative was set up by the FAO in the 70s and created a 
worldwide coooperation for sharing access to agricultural science and 
technology information. Based on available technologies, AGRIS was 
initially collecting bibliographic references for a central database. 
However, since the advent of the Internet in the late 90s AGRIS has become 
the brand name for a network of centres, which are promoting the exchange 
of agricultural science and technology information through the use of 
common standards and methodologies.



The AGRIS open archives and bibliographical databases cover the many 
aspects of agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic 
sciences and fisheries, and human nutrition, extension literature from 
over 100 participating countries. Material includes unique grey literature 
such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference 
papers, government publications, and more.



AGRIS today is part of the CIARD (Coherence in Information for 
Agricultural Research for Development) initiative, in which the CGIAR, 
GFAR and FAO collaborate to create a community for efficient knowledge 
sharing in agricultural research and development.

AGRIS Search Help
http://agris.fao.org/agris-search/search/search_help.html


You can use the AGRIS search box to create custom, complex queries by 
hand. AGRIS search syntax is a subset of Apache Solr query syntax: more 
precisely, it covers only the Lucene query syntax with some refinements. A 
query expression is decomposed into a set of unordered clauses of three 
types:

a clause can be mandatory: for example, to search for only documents 
containing the word rice you should type +rice

a clause can be prohibited: for example, all documents except those with 
rice will be retrieved with the query -rice

a clause can be optional: rice

It's ok for spaces to come between + or - and the search word.

If the query expression contains at least one mandatory clause, then any 
optional clause is just optional, but it serves a useful function in 
scoring documents that match more of them higher. If the query expression 
does not contain any mandatory clauses, then at least one of the optional 
clauses must match. An alternative syntax uses the boolean operators AND, 
OR, and NOT: the engine translates this syntax in the previous one. Take 
care about the case of the operators: they should be written in uppercase. 
When the AND operator is used between clauses, then both the left and the 
right sides of the operand become mandatory, while with the OR operator 
they become optional (redundant, because the default operator is already 
OR):

rice AND milk    ==>    +rice +milk

rice OR milk   ==>    rice milk

The NOT operator is equivalent to the - syntax. Remember that AND is 
equivalent to both sides of the operand being mandatory, and thus a query 
like the following is equivalent to have each clauses mandatory:

rice AND milk OR water AND potato    ==>    +rice +milk +water +potato

In order to combine query clauses in some ways, you will need to use 
sub-expressions. This means that you can use parenthesis to compose a 
query of smaller queries:

(rice AND milk) OR (water AND potato)    <==>    (+rice +milk) (+water 
+potato)

Apache Solr extends Lucene query Syntax, supporting pure negative queries, 
but only at the top level query expression. To make this work, you have to 
take the sub-expression containing only negative clauses, and add the all 
document query clause *:* . Thus, to match all documents containing the 
word rice or that don't contain the word milk:

rice (-milk *:*)

To have a clause explicitly search a particular indexed field, precede the 
relevant clause with the field's name, and then add a colon. Spaces may be 
used in-between, but that is generally not done.

title:(+rice +milk)

The content of the parenthesis is a sub-query, but with the default field 
being overridden to be the one specified. In AGRIS the default field is a 
special one containing all the indexed fields. Other fields that can be 
queried are:

ARN, center, centerkey, language, title, alternative, titleSupplement, 
citationTitle, author, corporateAuthor, publisher, publicationPlace, 
publicationDate, agrovoc, subject, ISSN, ISBN, date, fulltext, abstract

To search for two words adjacent to each other and in a specific order you 
must use double quotes:

"water alternative"

Related to these queries is the notion of the term proximity, aka the slop 
factor or a near query. If you want to permit to the specified words to be 
separated by no more than say four words in-between, then you could do 
this:

"water alternative"~4

Abstract: To evaluate the Philadelphia Urban Gardening Project, 144 
gardeners were selected from a stratified random sample of garden sites 
throughout the city. Sixty-seven non-gardening controls were selected from 
the neighborhoods surrounding these sites. Data collected during home or 
garden interviews included demographic variables, food frequencies and 
dietary habits, measures of life satisfaction, and neighborhood 
involvement. The yield of 151 garden plots was assessed and the economic 
value calculated, based on retail produce prices. Garden sites yielded an 
average of $160 worth of produce. Gardeners ate 6 out of 14 vegetable 
categories significantly more frequently, and milk products, citrus, sweet 
foods and drinks less frequently. Except for citrus, the reduced gardener 
consumption remained significant when other key variables were controlled. 
Gardening was positively associated with community involvement and life 
satisfaction

ARN: KR2001000078
Journal Title: S. Kor. Soc. Hort. Sci.
Date of publication: 1998
Submission Date: 2001
Language: Korean
Abstract: In order to investigate the effects of visual recognition of 
indoor plants on psychophysiology, human brain electroencephalography 
(EEG) was measured while subjects were watching Pachira aquatica (RPA), 
Ficus benjamina 'Star Light' (RFS) placed in the room, or objects composed 
of desk, cabinet, and computer in the room as a control group (CON). It 
has been shown that the groups of VPA and RFS showed significantly 
decreased delta wave in the frontal lobe and temporal lobe regions as 
compared to that of CON, indication that the activity of brain function 
may be enhanced in those area. It was, therefore, postulated by these 
results that indoor plants could activate the function of the frontal lobe 
which is the center of thougth and the comprehinsive brain function and 
takes charge of organization of the brain function, and the temporal lobe 
which plays important roles in the regulation of language, memory, and 
emotion.

Abstract: During the last few decades an increasing colonization by 
allochthonous organisms was observed within Serbian waters. In Serbian 
waters, according to the AISSIC data base developed at the Institute for 
Biological Research Sinia Stankovic - Belgrade (Serbia), 51 aquatic 
allochthonous species of which 18 fishes, 21 macroinvertebrates, 11 
macrophytes and 1 parasite were observed. Applying risk assessment 
protocols of aquatic invasive species is a main step in definition of 
measures for suppression of biological invasions. SBC index is used for 
estimation of biological contamination. Level of area invasibility and 
invasiveness of the species are needed to be estimate. Therefore, it is 
necessary to have precise data on ecological characteristics of invasive 
species, taxa richness and abundance, as well as characteristics of the 
recipient area. The aim of this paper is to present concept for management 
of aquatic invasions.

Abstract: Invasive species endanger the thriving of autochthnous 
vegetation and can also pose a serious threat to the health of humans, 
which makes their presence in sporting and recreational fields, which are 
supposed to be the parts of conserved and healthy area, even more so 
unwanted and intolerable. The presence of invasive and potencially 
invasive plant species in most frequently visited sporting and 
recreational fields in Belgrade, such as the area of Ada Ciganlija, 
Bojcinska suma, and leisure field Zabran, has been analysed in this paper. 
At the area of research, the presence of 19 invasive and potentially 
invasive species was stated. The analysis of the represented families has 
shown the presence of 11 families, the most represented of which beeing 
the Asteraceae family (8 species), whereas the second most represented was 
Rosaceae family (2 species).

Abstract: Increased trade of seedlings and ornamental plants presents a 
great threat to local horticulture industry because of possible 
introduction of alien and invasive species. Due to climate changes it is 
evident that they influence development and trophical relationships 
between insects and plants. Increased interest of scientists, first of all 
entomologists, to work on pests of ornamental plants, contributes to the 
knowledge significantly. There is need to continue research on ecological 
and economic important insects: Acantholyda hieroglyphica, Galerucella 
luteola, Stereonychus fraxini, Thaumatopoea pityocampa, Zeuzera pyrina, 
Dasineura fraxini, Dasineura abietiperda, Caloptilia syringella, 
Tomostethus nigritus, Dasineura oxyacanthae, Placochela ligustri, Acizzia 
jamatonica, Leptoglossus occidentalis, Nematus tibialis, Obolodiplosis 
robiniae and Harmonia axyridis. The most important is to monitor 
populations of pests and especially of invasive species to prevent their 
negative influence

Abstract: Invasive species often require mutualistic relationships to 
successfully invade new environments. Insect pollination is an example of 
a mutualism that is required for seed-set in the invasive species, Rosa 
multiflora Thunb. (Rosaceae), an obligate outcrosser. To determine the 
insect pollinators visiting R. multiflora flowers in Iowa, USA, we 
collected insects on yellow sticky traps placed on plants during the 
period of blooming and visually observed insects visiting the flowers. The 
common insect orders that were collected on the sticky traps included 
Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Mecoptera, and Thysanoptera. 
Many of the insects found on the sticky cards were known to feed on 
pollen. However, we did not collect Apidae (bumble bees and honey bees) on 
the sticky cards. We observed Bombus spp. and Apis mellifera foraging on 
the flowers. Syrphid flies were the most commonly observed taxa visiting 
the flowers. Our results indicate that R. multiflora is utilizing common

Abstract: .... The results revealed that sexual propagation of I. carnea 
from seeds is less common than vegetative propagation from decumbent 
branches. The variation in population natality varied in relation to 
habitat and time. I. carnea sprouts suffered relatively higher mortality 
rates than adult plants, indicating the sensitivity of the sprouts to 
temporal variation in some environmental factors. Months of July and 
January indicated negative values of demographic flux as a result of the 
increasing mortality and decreasing natality. In contrast, June had 
maximum value as no sprout and adult mortalities was mooted in this month. 
The size distribution of I. carnea populations had negative skewed shape, 
where the big individuals (i.e., mature) exceeded the small ones (i.e., 
juveniles). The biomass of I. carnea was higher than the other species in 
the same habitats in the Nile Delta. ...

Abstract: ...A flood changed the character of the observed flooding 
terraces in the catchment area of the Drevnice river and in an adjacent 
part of the Morava river in July 1997. The changes of the vegetation 
cover, selected soil parameters, and soil contamination were investigated 
before and after the flood. Changes of the vegetation cover were more 
perceptible in the human-modified part of the catchment area. The response 
of aboveground plant biomass to the flood was of various characters and 
took different time in dependence on the height of the water column, 
duration of flood, height of sediment and its structure. Inundation 
promoted propagation of both ruderal (R and CR strategists) and invasive 
species. However, many competitive plant species (C strategists) were 
promoted by the floods, too. Ruderal plants appeared mostly one year after 
the flood, while new invasive plants appeared often just three months 
after the flood. Almost all of vegetation changes have a reverse character

Abstract: ... during the weekly holiday. In conclusion the weekend tourism 
in rural areas is one of the ways to increase the satisfaction of weekly 
holiday. To this end, there are some things employers have to do: set up 
tourist attractions or contract with tourist attractions that already 
exist where workers and employees of the relevant company, as well as 
their families, could take a holiday at a preferential price. This will 
reinforce the principal idea of the weekend tourism in rural areas which 
is to introduce holiday and tourism into peoples everyday life, attenuate 
the process of accumulation of tiredness provoked by the monotone and 
boring everyday life, maintain the balance between work and holiday. ...

Journal Title: Journal of food service systems (USA)
Date of publication: Dec 1995
Submission Date: 1996
Language: English
Abstract: ...High service quality within the foodservice context has the 
capacity to provide some of the most positive memories of a vacation. Low 
service quality within the foodservice context, however, may leave 
visitors with negative memories surrounding a vacation. In such a 
situation, the process of dealing with a foodservice complaint can be of 
major importance both for tourists and for the industry. This study has 
examined typologies of responses to a foodservice complaint among 
potential tourism/hospitality employees together with a range of service 
quality ideals and also perceptions of the industries' impacts upon the 
local community. Two fundamental complaint response typologies were 
identified: A Poor foodservice expectation factor and a Good foodservice 
expectation factor. An absence of a commitment to Positive Attitudes 
together with a preference for Being Blunt were found to predict complaint 
expectations associated with Poor Service, whereas the Good Service factor 
was found ...

a weakening competitive position of Czech destinations during the most

dream when understanding of tourists' perceptions and travel motives is 
lacking. The two objectives pursued in this study are 1) an identification 
of the positions of competing destinations and 2) an a-posteriori 
segmentation with psychographic variables. Market segmentation becomes the 
crucial factor in the strategic design process of target marketing. Like 
many other markets, tourism markets do not respond homogeneously to 
marketing activities. Subdividing visitors into useful groups may provide 
a basis for competitive advantage. Our study establishes taxonomy of 
visitors to Southern Moravia. The study tries to overcome well-known 
insufficiencies of single segmentation approaches by exploiting the

tourism and alternative forms of tourism are presented. A qualitative and 
quantitative survey took place in Chania and Iraklion in order to explore 
tourists' need and wants, starting from the accommodation in the hotel or 
room, to the problems and the services provide in general, to the kinds of 
facilities and activities tourists enjoy more during their stay in Crete, 
and finally to the alternative forms of tourism they would like to have. 
Findings showed that Crete was selected for a variety of reasons; most 
tourists travel with tour operators; there isa low advertisement for Crete 
abroad; the services provided for tourism are good in general except for 
tourism information services, traffic signs and long waiting at the 
airport, which are the most important problems experienced by tourism

Abstract: Marginality is viewed as a complex phenomenon resulting from 
specific natural, economic as well as soci-cultural features of individual 
territories. Diverting marginality into comparative advantage by utilizing 
"non-marginal" features of marginal territories seems to be one of 
promising ways how to overcome it. Sumava Mts, territory highly attractive 
for tourists and holiday makers, was chosen as a model area for our 
research. The main issue addressed in this paper is twofold. The first one 
is a question whether or not, or to what extent there is a potential niche 
of services development related to leisure time activities in the model 
territory. The other one is then the assessment of circumstances under 
which it is likely to expect that the potential niche can be realised

Abstract: This paper describes the present situation and problems in the 
conservation of native livestock breeds in Japan. The breeds considered 
include Japanese native horses, Japanese native cattle and Japanese native 
goats. To conserve the genetic resources of these breeds, it is important 
to keep them (1) in the form of live animals and (2) in the form of sperm, 
oocytes, embryos, cells, chromosomes and genes that can be stored by 
applying cryogenic techniques. For the Japanese native livestock that are 
also important members of living "museums", it may be further desirable to 
conserve them as live animals. However, it is difficult to conserve all 
these breeds in a living form due to their low economic value in the 
market. Therefore, it is necessary to keep these animals for other 
purposes such as riding horses, tourist attractions in national parks and 
zoos, educational tools in agricultural schools and experimental animals

undertaken in a residential setting for 26 days each of 3 years to 
facilitate weight reduction, nutrition awareness, physical fitness, and 
social adaptability. Parent education was also undertaken. The nutrition 
education included a red, yellow, and green diet system. An exercise 
program and social program with a behavior modification system of rewards 
was established. Selected measures were taken before and after each 
program. Over a 3-year period, the 8 children who came for each of 3 
summers maintained their weight control instead of vastly increasing their

Abstract: ...Leptin, the ob gene product, is released from adipose tissue 
and likely acts in the central nervous system, particularly within the 
hypothalamus, to exert many of its effects. Obesity in C57BL/6J ob/ob mice 
is caused by a mutation in the ob gene resulting in a lack of functional 
leptin. In this study, we first compared effects of a single 
intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of 3 pmol (50 ng) or 60 pmol (1 
microgram) leptin on food intake and oxygen consumption of lean and ob/ob 
mice deprived of food for 4 h during the 48-h period postinjection. 
Injection of 3 pmol leptin minimally lowered food intake in these mice 
without influencing oxygen consumption. Injection of 60 pmol of leptin 
rapidly lowered food intake within 30 min in both lean and ob/ob mice, 
with effects persisting for 24 h. Lean and ob/ob mice treated with leptin 
consumed 40 and 60% less food, respectively, in 24 h than vehicle-treated 
controls. Injection of leptin (60 pmol ICV) suppressed food intake ...

ARN: US1997093489
Journal Title: The American journal of clinical nutrition (USA)
Date of publication: Mar 1998
Submission Date: 1999
Language: English
Abstract: Fuel metabolism generates signals that the brain uses to control 
food intake. Because the influence of metabolism on eating behavior 
depends on where and in what way metabolic fuels are utilized, the 
partitioning of fuels among different tissues and between metabolic 
pathways has significant effects on food intake. There is substantial 
evidence that shifts in fat fuel partitioning between oxidation and 
storage influence food intake, and data indicate that this may also be the 
case for carbohydrates. Carbohydrate and fat fuel interactions appear to 
affect eating behavior, and may play a role in the overconsumption of 
high-fat diets. A mechanism for the control of eating behavior that is 
sensitive to a stimulus generated at the level of oxidative 
phosphorylation and ATP production may underlie changes in food intake 
associated with shifts in fuel partitioning. A model based on such a 
mechanism provides a framework for understanding changes in food intake 
under a variety of conditions

  Obesity and weight control: the good and bad of dieting
Brownell, K.D.

Journal Title: Nutrition today (USA)
Date of publication: Jun 1987
Submission Date: 1988
Language: English
Abstract: Factors causing obesity, such as genetics and fat distribution 
are discussed as well as a comprehensive program for weight control which 
takes in account the patient's life style, attitude, social environment, 
and nutrition. Conclusions are that excess weight and dieting are to be 
taken seriously so that prospective dieters can: 1) evaluate whether the 
time is right for them to diet; and 2) choose a scientifically sound 
approach to reduce; so they will maximize their chances of dieting in a 
safe and effective manner.(rah)

Abstract: ...The purpose of this experiment was to determine if 
Osborne-Mendel (OM) rats, which are susceptible to dietary-induced 
obesity, and S5B/PL (S5B) rats, which are resistant to dietary-induced 
obesity, differ in their feeding responses to mercaptoacetate (MA), which 
blocks fatty acid oxidation, or 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), which blocks 
glucose utilization. 2DG (100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg) increased food intake in 
both strains of rats on a high-fat diet (56% energy from fat). 
Mercaptoacetate (600 micromoles/kg) increased food intake in OM but not 
S5B rats on a high-fat diet. When maintained on a low-fat diet (10% energy 
from fat), MA (400 micromoles/kg or 600 micromoles/kg) stimulated food 
intake in OM rats, whereas S5B rats increased food intake only after the 
highest dose of MA (600 micromoles/kg). MA stimulated carbohydrate and 
protein intake in OM rats maintained on a macronutrient selection diet, 
whereas S5B rats maintained on this diet did not significantly increase

  Dietary fat and obesity: an epidemiologic perspective

Journal Title: The American journal of clinical nutrition (USA)

Language: English
Abstract: ...The observation that dietary fat has an effect on weight gain 
and the development of obesity that is larger than would be expected on 
the basis of fat's energy value is mainly experimental. Several 
methodologic problems limit the interpretation of epidemiologic studies of 
the association between dietary fat intake and obesity. Among the issues 
relevant in this context are underreporting of energy and fat intakes, 
dieting behavior, inadequate control for variables such as energy 
expenditure, and limited between-subject variation in fat intake in 
developed countries. Different types of epidemiologic studies suffer from 
different types and magnitudes of bias and many conflicting results can be 
obtained. Ecologic and cross-sectional studies especially suffer from 
these biases. The more appropriate type of study (ie, prospective studies 
of fat intake and subsequent weight gain) was carried out in several 
countries but conflicting results were obtained. Overall, the observed

Language: English
Abstract: The effects of replacing dietary fat with a fat substitute on 
food intake, body composition and lipid metabolism were examined in rats. 
Female Sprague-Dawley rats (250 g) were fed diets containing between 2 and 
63% of energy as fat for 64 d. Inclusion of a substitute resulted in diets 
of different fat content but similar texture. When 10% corn oil (21% 
kJ-fat diet) was replaced with the substitute supplemented with linoleic 
acid (2% kJ-fat diet), rats increased food intake so that there was no 
effect on energy intake, body weight, body composition or serum lipid 
profile. Rats fed a diet containing 10% corn oil and 30% Crisco vegetable 
shortening (63% kJ-fat diet) became obese and hyperinsulinemic. When half 
(51% kJ-fat diet) or all (30% kJ-fat diet) of the Crisco was replaced with 
the fat substitute, the rats increased food intake and were fatter than 
controls but less obese than rats fed the 63% kJ-fat diet. Hepatic lipid 
oxidation and ketone synthesis were proportional

Abstract: ...The objective of this study was to examine the influence of 
dietary protein levels on development of hyperphagia and obesity in rats 
that had been given surgical knife cuts between the ventromedial and 
lateral areas of the hypothalamus. Under normal conditions, rats with this 
type of surgery exhibit hyperphagia and become obese when given unlimited 
access to dietary energy. Earlier studies indicated impaired adaptive 
diet-induced thermogenesis in response to excess energy intake in this 
animal model of obesity. Because low protein diets can also stimulate 
diet-induced thermogenesis, we conducted four experiments which examined 
how diets containing different levels of protein affect development of 
hyperphagia and obesity in female rats given bilateral, parasagittal wire 
knife cuts between the ventromedial and lateral areas of the hypothalamus. 
For 28 d, knife-cut and sham-operated rats were given unlimited or

  Taste preferences and food intake
Drewnowski, A.

ARN: US1997063618
Journal Title: Annual review of nutrition (USA)
Date of publication: 1997
Submission Date: 1998
Language: English
Abstract: Sensory responses to the taste, smell, and texture of foods help 
determine food preferences and eating habits. However, sensory responses 
alone do not predict food consumption. The view that a "sweet tooth" leads 
to obesity through excess sugar consumption is overly narrow. In reality, 
there are multiple links between taste perceptions, taste preferences, 
food preferences, and food choices and the amount of food consumed. Taste 
responses are influenced by a range of genetic, physiological, and 
metabolic variables. The impact of taste factors on food intake further 
depends on sex and age and is modulated by obesity, eating disorders, and 
other pathologies of eating behavior. Food preferences and food choices of 
populations are further linked to attitudinal, social, and--probably most 
important--economic variables such as income. Nutrition education and 
intervention strategies aimed at improving population diets ought to 
consider sensory pleasure response to foods, in addition to a wide

  Carbohydrates, fats, and satiety
Rolls, B.J. (Penn State University, University Park, PA.)

ARN: US9744304
Journal Title: The American journal of clinical nutrition (USA)
Date of publication: Apr 1995
Submission Date: 1997
Language: English
Abstract: The macronutrient composition of the diet can influence hunger, 
satiety, food intake, body weight, and body composition. Fat, not 
carbohydrate, is the macronutrient associated with overeating and obesity. 
Fat is overeaten because it is highly palatable and because it provides a 
high level of energy in a given volume of food. However, when given in 
equal volumes, carbohydrate (sugar) and fat have similar effects on 
hunger, satiety, and subsequent food intake when infused intragastrically 
or ingested in foods by normal-weight, unrestrained young men. In obese 
and restrained subjects, preloads of high-carbohydrate yogurts suppress 
subsequent food intake more than do high-fat yogurts, indicating a 
relative insensitivity to the satiety value of fat. Both the amount of fat 
in the diet and total energy intake should be managed in weight-loss 
regimens. Low-fat foods and fat substitutes can help to reduce fat intake.
