Published: December 2018

Humus ima specifičnu, višestruko pozitivnu ulogu u fizikalnim, kemijskim i mikrobiološkim značajkama tla. Doprinosi formiranju stabilnih agregata, strukturi tla, aeraciji, poboljšanju ritma infiltracije i povećanju kapaciteta skladištenja vode. Kao skladište za biljna hraniva ujedno je izvor plodnosti tla. Također, služi kao pufer protiv brzih promjena reakcije tla (pH) i djeluje kao izvor energije za mikroorganizme u tlu. Uvažavajući gore iznijeto, kao i činjenicu da trajni nasadi (voćnjaci i vinogradi) na istoj površini ostaju dugi niz godina te da je potrebno žurno formirati tratinu u međurednom prostoru, poznavanje razine humusa u tlima namijenjenim za podizanje voćnjaka i vinograda je od izuzetne važnosti. Temeljem analiza cca četiri tisuće uzoraka tla (računajući oranični sloj 0-30 cm i podoranični sloj 30-60 cm) iz 16 županija Republike Hrvatske, utvrđena je količina humusa. Uzorci tla uzeti su u periodu od 2000. do 2006. godine , tj. u vrijeme kad se krenulo u znatnije podizanje voćnjaka i vinograda, popraćeno poticajima za podizanje trajnih nasada (Biško i sur., 2005a.; Biško i sur. 2005b.). Količina humusa određena je metodom po Tjurinu (Škorić i Seretić 1966.). U konačnici, izračunate su i prosječne vrijednosti (% humusa) oraničnog i podoraničnog sloja tla što čini ukupno 2.038 uzoraka i predstavlja isto toliko proizvodnih površina sa kojih su uzeti prosječni uzorci. Prosječne vrijednosti količine humusa po pojedinoj županiji kretale su se od 1,53 % u Virovitičko-podravskoj do 3,32 % u Primorsko-goranskoj županiji. U ostalim županijama utvrđene su sljedeće prosječne vrijednosti humusa: Koprivničko-križevačka 1,54 %, Požeško-slavonska 1,62 %, Vukovarsko-srijemska 1,63 %, Bjelovarsko-bilogorska 1,78 %, Brodsko-posavska 1,80 %, Zadarska i Međimurska 2,01 %, Sisačko-moslavačka 2,13 %, Istarska 2,15 %, Zagrebačka 2,22 %, Krapinsko-zagorska 2,23 %, Karlovačka 2,44 %, Šibensko-kninska 2,74 % i Ličko-senjska 2,89 %. Utvrđene vrijednosti uspoređene su s Izvješćem Europskog ureda za istraživanje tala (Br. 15) Europske Komisije: „Organic Matter in the Soils of Southern Europe”, Zdruli i sur., 2004.

Published: December 2018

Fruit samples of ‘Granada’, ‘Wonderful’ and ‘Hicaznar’ cultivars were collected in productive pomegranate orchard in Neretva valley, Metković (Croatia) and their pomological and chemical properties were compared. Significant differences among cultivars were noted between the studied traits. Fruit weight ranged from 429.37 g to 359.43 g and the lowest was
recorded in cv. ‘Hicaznar’. Color of peel, aril and juice of all investigated cultivars was intensively red and dark red, respectively. ‘Granada’ and ‘Wonderful’ stood out with high juice yield compared with ‘Hicaznar’. Total soluble solid (TSS) of ‘Hicaznar’ (18.61%) was higher than that of ‘Wonderful’ (16.64%). Total acidity (TA) significantly differed among cultivars and ranged from 1.6% to 2.1%. According to the TSS/TA ratio investigated cultivars belong to the group of sour-sweet cultivars. Dissimilarity between cultivars was found in the phenolics content (TPC). It ranged from 679.6 to 906.6 mg/100 g D.W. where ‘Hicaznar’ stood out as a cultivar with highest TPC and also highest flavonoid and non-flavonoid content (521.1 mg/100 g D.W. and 385.5 mg/100 g D.W., respectively). In ‘Granada’ antioxidant activity measured
by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl was recorded for 64.1%, in ‘Wonderful’
70.2% and the highest in ‘Hicaznar’ (74.5%). Results of this assessment
are the basis for practical determination of the pomegranate use.

Bagrem (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) je brzorastuće, listopadno drvo iz Sjeverne Amerike, a u Europu je uvezen početkom 17. stoljeća. Cijenjen je u pčelarstvu, drvnoj industriji, šumarstvu te je vrlo invazivna vrsta. Najrasprostranjeniji je u sjeveroistočnom dijelu Hrvatske. Vrsta posjeduje i dekorativne osobine pa se koristi i u ukrasnoj hortikulturi. Metodom promatranja tijekom travnja i svibnja 2016. godine na području grada Knina zamijećena je slaba zastupljenost ove vrste u vrtovima, okučnicama i zelenim površinama. U pogledu održavanja nužno je posvetiti više njege kako bi stabla dobila na većoj estetskoj vrijednosti, koja je sada na razini prosječnosti. Uviđa se i invazivno ponašanje vrste što se ogleda u zastupljenosti na određenim nepejsažnim površinama (slobodno rastuća vegetacija uz cestu, rubove šume, željezničku prugu itd.). Najgora aktivnost bagremove invazivnosti je potiskivanje autohtonih vrsta. Metodom anketnog ispitivanja ispitanici s područja grada Knina i okolice s vrlo dobrim ocjenama vrednuju atraktivnost, ugodnost i utjecaj bagrema na duševno zdravlje čovjeka. S nešto slabijim ocjenama vrednuju primjenu bagrema u gospodarstvu, krajobraznoj slikovitosti postojećim gradskim drvoredima (3,40-3,58). Više od 80 % ispitanika zna da je bagrem vrlo medonosna vrsta i da se koristi u drvnoj industriji.

Lijeska (Corylus spp.) u odnosu na ostale voćne vrste posljednjih godina bilježi najveći rast u količini deklariranog sadnog materijala iz domaće proizvodnje i uvoza. S evidentiranih 4 137 ha proizvodnih površina lijeska je četvrta voćna vrsta po zastupljenosti u RH. Većina proizvodnje smještena je na području kontinentalne Hrvatske s naglaskom na obronke Papuka, Krndije i Bilogore. Najzastupljeniji uzgojni oblik je modificirana grmolika vaza, ali se u novijim nasadima uočava uzgojni oblik stablo te gušći sklopovi sadnje koji bi trebali olakšati strojnu berbu. Prema podacima FAO-a u Hrvatskoj se godišnje proizvede od 1 000 do 1 500 tona lješnjaka u ljusci. U nasadima su najzastupljenije sorte 'Istarski duguljasti' i 'Rimski'. Rezultati istraživanja lijeske u našim agroekološkim uvjetima pokazuju da sorte lijeske imaju dobru i redovitu rodnost. Zbog zahtjeva konditorske industrije daljnja istraživanja treba usmjeriti na poboljšanje sortimenta uvođenjem novih sorti sitnijeg ploda i okrugle jezgre.

Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi utjecaj pasmine i spola svinja na dnevni prirast u testu u proizvodnim uvjetima. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 62 469 zapisa iz testa svinja u proizvodnim uvjetima od 1998.
do 2017. godine u Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanje su bile uključene
svinje četiri čiste pasmine: landras (L), veliki jorkšir (VJ), pietren (P), durok (D) te oba recipročna križanca LxVJ. Oba promatrana utjecaja imala su značajan utjecaj (P<0,05) na dnevni prirast. Uočena je statistički značajna razlika u dnevnom prirastu između pasmina. Prosjeci
dobiveni metodom najmanjih kvadrata pokazuju da su svinje pasmine durok
imale najveći dnevni prirast sa 583 g, zatim ih slijede križanci LxVJ sa 532 g i VJxL sa 529 g. Dnevni prirast za velikog jorkšira iznosi 528 g, a najmanji prirast je zabilježen kod pietrena sa 519 g. Utvrđena je značajna razlika (P<0,05) u dnevnom prirastu u testu u proizvodnim uvjetima između spolova (nerastića i nazimica) gdje prosječni dnevni prirast dobiven metodom najmanjih kvadrata iznosi 569 g u nerastića i 508 g u nazimica.

Published: December 2018

Pasmina svinja mangulica je stara pasmina svinja koja je imala veliku ulogu u hrvatskom stočarstvu u kojem se uzgaja više od stoljeće i pol, a
u pojedinim razdobljima bila je najznačajnija pasmina svinja u Hrvatskoj, posebice u Slavoniji. Njezin značaj bio je velik u podmirenju
prehrambenih potreba, ali i kao temelja nastanka hrvatske izvorna pasmine crna slavonska svinja. Danas se Hrvatskoj uzgaja mali broj jedinki ove pasmine, te u cilju očuvanja Hrvatska poljoprivredna agencija 2016. godine je započela postupak utemeljenja registra pasmine te u izradu programa očuvanja. Registar pasmine danas broji 113 rasplodnih grla nerasta i krmača, a zastupljena su sva tri tipa mangulice (bijeli, crveni i lasasti). Iako mangulica nije naša izvorna pasmina, duga tradicija uzgoja, njezin povijesni značaj u životu građana
te uloga u stvaranju crne slavonske svinje, nesumnjivo su činjenice za ulaganje intenzivnog rada u očuvanju hrvatskog uzgoja mangulice te njezino svrstavanje u Popis izvorni i zaštićenih pasmina domaćih životinja Republike Hrvatske, a što potvrđuju brojni povijesni pisani dokazi i znanstvena istraživanja.

Uzgoj kunića ima višestruki privredni i sportski značaj, kao i za hobi aktivnost. Vrijednost uspjeha svakog uzgajivača očituje se u uzgoju ljubimca i njegovog izlaganja na različitim izložbama gdje se vrši ocjenjivanje. Osnovica ocjenjivanja može biti izgled ili natjecateljski rezultati. Ocjenjivanje se vrši prema vanjskom izgledu životinje (fenotipu) imajući u vidu osobine određene pasmine propisane standardom, s ciljem unapređenja uzgojno – sportskih vrijednosti. Iako ima dovoljno objašnjenja o ovoj tematici u vidu različitih izvora informiranja, postoje nejasnoće pri ocjenjivanju. U radu su detaljno objašnjene pozicije kod ocjenjivanja, te predstavlja stručni doprinos i pregled širem krugu zainteresiranih uzgajivača, stručnjaka praktičara i ljubitelja kunića.

Published: December 2018

Tradicijske cvjetne vrste uz povrtne, aromatične i ljekovite biljke bile
su važni stanovnici tradicijskih seoskih vrtova. Tijekom 20. stoljeća, promjenom životnih navika seoskog stanovništava, počinje izumiranje tradicijskih seoskih vrtova a s njima i tradicijskih cvjetnih vrsta. Danas vrtlari amateri pokušavaju obnoviti tradicijske seoske vrtove no najčešći rezultat su vrtovi bogati cvjetnim vrstama koje susrećemo u ponudi velikih trgovačkih lanaca, u maloprodaji i na tržnicama. Loša kvaliteta sjemena mogući je uzrok nestajanja tradicijskih cvjetnih vrsta. Proizvodnje sjemena cvjetnih vrsta u Hrvatskoj nema, ponuda je bazirana na uvozu sjemena čija kvaliteta prema Pravilniku o stavljanju na tržište poljoprivrednog reprodukcijskog materijala ukrasnog bilja NN 129/07 ne podliježe nikakvoj kontroli. Na 18 uzoraka sjemena deset cvjetnih vrsta uvezenih 2011/12: Ageratum hosutonianum, Calistephus chinensis, Cosmos bipinatus, Dahlia pinata, Impatiens walleriana, Lavandula officinalis, Lobelia erenis, Tagetes patula, Verbrena×hybrida,
Zinia elegans ispitana je energija klijanja, klijavost i zdravstveno stanje sjemena, prema ISTA međunarodnim metodama ispitivanja. Ispitivani
uzorak je osim tradiconalnih cvjetnih vrsta obuhvatio i nekoliko komercijalnih cvjetnih vrsta. Nicanje u kontejnerima, rast u cvjetnim posudama i boja cvjetova ispitivani su na osam cvjetnih vrsta: Ageratum hosutonianum, Dahlia – mini, Impatiens walleriana, Lavandula officinalis, Lobelia erinus, Tagetes patula, Verbena × hybrida i Zinnia elegans. Klijavost većine ispitivanih tradicionalnih cvjetnih vrsta bila
je ispod 50%, dok je kod komercijalnih cvjetnih vrsta bila nešto viša. Najčešće bolesti na sjemenu su: Alternaria alternata, Fusarium spp. i Verticillium sp., a zaraze ovim bolestima su na nekim uzorcima iznad 40 %. Nicanje u kontejnerima loše je kod uzoraka koji imaju nisku energiju klijanja. Boje cvjetova različite su od boja na vrećicama sjemena. Loša kvaliteta sjemena, loše nicanje u kontejnerima, nepodudarnost boje cvjetova i visine biljaka s navodima na pakiranju glavni su uzroci nestajanja tradicijskih cvjetnih vrsta. Vrtlari amateri sjeme uglavnom kupuju u maloprodaji no zbog loše kvalitete odustaju od sjetve i uzgoja tradicijskih cvjetnih vrsta. Nestajanjem tradicijskih cvjetnih vrsta nestaju i tradicijski seoski vrtovi.

Published: December 2018

One of the recognized and indisputable commandments of Islam is that of marriage - the sacred union that takes place only between a man and a woman. In relation to this revered bond, there are many verses of the noble Quran and countless a hadith that encourage marriage for any single man or woman - of any age or background. This is not only limited to the young brothers and sisters who have never been married and are looking for their life mate, but even those who have been through divorce have also been encouraged to re-marry and to "complete" their faith.

Published: December 2018

Language has the great roles in human’s lives because it is used as a means of communication among the member of society. Naturally different ethnics of course have the different race, the tribe, and the language. Language is much more than a system of communication, it is a symbolical marker that distinguishes who belongs to a group and who is outside. Language has been traditionally considered as a central feature of ethnic identity and national identity, therefore, the identity and the integrity of a nation is well-showed by a language. Moreover, standardized language is a way to support a common identity. A language should be standardized to get its formality. The processes of language standardization are: selection, codification, elaboration of function, and acceptance.

Published: December 2018

Teaching Grant using mind mapping method is expected to be a reference in improving the learning system in public policy seminar courses in the Faculty of Political Science (FISIP), especially the State Administration Study Program (IAN). The low condition of mastery of the problem and the lack of ability to explain problems at the time of the seminar practice in this public policy seminar course made researchers interested in offering new learning methods with the name mind mapping that prioritizes images and signs for mapping research problems as well as can be used to help The student explained the research problem more clearly during the thesis proposal seminar. This study aims to assist students in finding research problems properly, improving students' ability in formulating problems and explaining problems in public policy seminars and ultimately expected to improve the quality of seminars and the quality of student answers in public policy seminars. The results showed that in the first cycle there was no significant development of the students involved so it was necessary to do a second cycle with the addition and improvement when training and making mind mapping and presentation. Finally in the second cycle, it can be seen that there are changes and improvements in the making of mind mapping and it can be seen that students find it easier to explain the research problem compared to mind mapping learning methods that can increase students' mastery of research problems and can facilitate them in explaining the problems at the seminar. Although the final achievement of the first cycle still shows confusion and low mastery of the mind mapping theory, in the second cycle there is a change in the mastery of theory and mind mapping (students realize that mind mapping cannot be done if they do not master the research problem correctly) so when explaining the problem of research in front of the class when the seminar practice takes place can be done better. In general, the use of mind mapping in public policy seminar courses is very useful and helps students in formulating research problems, making a research background, presenting a research background in the form of a power point containing mind mapping. And the most important thing is that mind mapping helps students in explaining the research problem at the time the seminar was held.

Authors: Hadi Syamsul , Wijaya Insan , Prayuginingsih Henik
Published: December 2018

In general, hybrid rice has a significant advantage over inbred rice, such as higher yields, more competitive harvesting, wider, shorter plant life, wider photosynthetic area, lower respiratory intensity and higher assimilation translocation . Although in Indonesia hybrid rice has been popularized since 1983, but the empirical facts show that few farmers are adopting new technology in this field of seed, although the price of production is more expensive than the price of the rice product inbrid. Therefore, this paper explains the following matters: 1) Socio-economic factors that influence farmers' decision to plant hybrid rice OPTIMA, 2) Level of profit of hybrid rice farming OPTIMA, and 3) Cost efficiency level of rice farming hybrid OPTIMA. The research method used is descriptive method of quantitative and qualitative techniques where census data information collected includes primary data and secondary data. The population in this research is farmers of hybrid rice varieties of OPTIMA in Banyuwangi. Data analysis techniques used are probability probability analysis of probit model function, cost efficiency analysis, and profit. Simultaneously there are several factors that are expected to significantly influence farmers' decision to plant hybrid rice optima at a 1% significance level. But partially only factor of production amount which have no significant effect to dependent variable (Farmer's Decision, while variable of output price and farmer perception about hybrid varieties of Optima hybrid is significant effect) Farm profit rate during second rainy season and drought in year 2013/2014 reach IDR 9.61.992,06 per hectare with average production of 5,9 tons and the farming efficiency level reached 1,5 or has reached the point of technical efficiency.

Authors: Dione Saliou , Togola Bakaye
Published: December 2018

This article historicizes ethno-religious and political conflicts in West Africa with Mali as a case in point. It looks at how foreign and donors’ conditioned aid can pose a threat to the peaceful existence and survival of West African States. In fact, Mali has since its independence been beset by an extraordinary heavy burden of conflicts. It is either suffering from rebellions or political instability. Added to this, are the current religious problems which are undermining its territorial unity as a result of rising questions and distrust between northern and southern communities. This paper analyzes the reasons for the central authorities’ opposition to the northern population, namely the Tuareg and Arabs, on the one hand, and the State to the military, on the other hand. It also brings to light the politically, religiously, and militarily roles of external stakeholder such as the neighboring and Gulf countries, France and the international community as it examines the causes and impacts of the political social and religious fragmentations using a historical perspective and provide for endogenous and exogenous solutions.

Published: December 2018

The methanol extract of Stereospermum suaveolens (Roxb.) DC was investigated for antidiabetic, antidiarrheal and analgesic activities in Swiss Albino mice. Antidiabetic activity was evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test where the crude extract of S. suaveolens (400 mg/kg b.w.) exhibited 56.10% reduction of blood glucose level as compared to 58.53% by standard glibenclamide (0.1 mg/kg b.w.). In the castor oil-induced diarrhea in mice, the plant extract, at the dose of 400 mg/kg b.w. demonstrated 42.11% reduction of diarrheal feces, while the standard loperamide revealed 57.89% reduction of diarrheal feces. The analgesic activity of S. suaveolens was assessed by both radiant heat tail-flick and acetic acid-induced writhing test. The methanolic extract and different Kupchan fractions of S. suaveolens were also subjected to screening for total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging assay, membrane stabilizing, thrombolytic and antimicrobial activities. In the DPPH assay, the aqueous soluble fraction of methanolic extract revealed highest antioxidant properties with IC50 value of 18.99 μg/ml. The membrane stabilizing activity was assessed by hypotonic solution- and heat-induced methods and was compared with standard acetyl salicylic acid. In hypotonic solution-induced haemolysis, the hexane and carbon tetrachloride soluble fraction inhibited 54.42% and 52.67% haemolysis of RBCs, respectively. On the other hand, in heat-induced haemolysis, the chloroform soluble fraction inhibited the haemolysis of RBC by 57.10% as compared to 72.09% produced by acetyl salicylic acid. In antimicrobial assay by disc diffusion method, only the hexane and carbon tetrachloride soluble fractions demonstrated moderate antimicrobial activity (zone of inhibition = 7.0-15.0 mm) against the test organisms.

Published: December 2018

This paper presents a comparison among the bee colony optimization (BCO), differential evolution (DE), and harmony search (HS) algorithms. In addition, for each algorithm, a type-1 fuzzy logic system (T1FLS) for the dynamic modification of the main parameters is presented. The dynamic adjustment in the main parameters for each algorithm with the implementation of fuzzy systems aims at enhancing the performance of the corresponding algorithms. Each algorithm (modified and original versions) is analyzed and compared based on the optimal design of fuzzy systems for benchmark control problems, especially in fuzzy controller design. Simulation results provide evidence that the FDE algorithm outperforms the results of the FBCO and FHS algorithms in the optimization of fuzzy controllers. Statistically is demonstrated that the better errors are found with the implementation of the fuzzy systems to enhance each proposed algorithm.

Published: December 2018

Simulating hydraulic transients in ultra-long water (oil, gas) transmission or large-scale distribution systems are time-consuming, and exploring ways to improve the simulation efficiency is an essential research direction. The parallel implementation of the method of characteristics (MOC) on graphics processing unit (GPU) chips is a promising approach for accelerating the simulations, because GPU has a great parallelization ability for massive but simple computations, and the explicit and local features of MOC meet the features of GPU quite well. In this paper, we propose and verify a GPU implementation of MOC on a single chip for more efficient simulations of hydraulic transients. Details of GPU-MOC parallel strategies are introduced, and the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are verified by simulating the benchmark single pipe water hammer problem. The transient processes of a large scale water distribution system and a long-distance water transmission system are simulated to investigate the computing capability of the proposed method. The results show that GPU-MOC method can achieve significant performance gains, and the speedup ratios are up to hundreds compared to the traditional method. This preliminary work demonstrates that GPU-MOC parallel computing has great prospects in practical applications with large computing load.

Sunflower and rapeseed are among the most important sources of vegetable oil for food and industry. The main components of vegetable oil are triglycerides (TAGs) (about 97%). Ultra- performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS) profiling of TAGs in sunflower and rapeseed has been performed and the TAG profiles obtained for these species have been compared. It has been identified that 34 TAGs are shared by sunflower and rapeseed. It was demonstrated that TAGs 52:2, 52:5, 52:6, 54:3; 54:4, 54:7, 56:3, 56:4, and 56:5 had the highest variability levels between sunflower and rapeseed with the higher presence in rapeseed. TAGs 50:2, 52:3, 52:4, 54:5, and 54:6 also showed high variability, but were the most abundant in sunflower. Moreover, the differences in TAG composition between the winter-type and spring-type rapeseed have been revealed, which may be associated with freezing tolerance. It was shown that winter-type rapeseed seeds contain TAGs with a lower degree of saturation, while in spring-type rapeseed highly saturated lipids are the most abundant. These findings may give new insights into the cold resistance mechanisms in plants the understanding of which is especially important in terms of global climate changes.
Structure of All-Digital Frequency Synthesiser for IoT and IoV Applications
Authors: Jurgo Marijan , Navickas Romualdas
Published: December 2018

In recent years number of Internet of Things (IoT) services and devices is growing and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technologies are emerging. Multiband transceiver with high performance frequency synthesisers should be used to support a multitude of existing and developing wireless standards. In this paper noise sources of an all-digital frequency synthesiser are discussed through s-domain model of frequency synthesisers, and the impact of noise induced by main blocks of synthesisers to the overall phase noise of frequency synthesisers is analysed. Requirements for time to digital converter (TDC), digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and digital filter suitable for all-digital frequency synthesiser for IoT and IoV applications are defined. The structure of frequency synthesisers, which allows us to meet defined requirements, is presented. Its main parts are 2D Vernier TDC based on gated ring oscillators, which can achieve resolution close to 1 ps; multi core LC-tank DCO, whose tuning range is 4.3–5.4 GHz when two cores are used and phase noise is −116.4 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 5.44 GHz carrier; digital filter made of proportional and integral gain stages and additional infinite impulse response filter stages. Such a structure allows us to achieve a synthesiser’s in-band phase noise lower than −100 dBc/Hz, out-of-band phase noise equal to −134.0 dBc/Hz and allows us to set a synthesiser to type-I or type-II and change its order from first to sixth.
Experimental Modeling of Methane Hydrate Formation and Decomposition in Wet Heavy Clays in Arctic Regions
Authors: Yakushev Vladimir S.
Published: December 2018

Experimental studies on clay sample saturation by methane hydrates proved that clay particles play an important role in the hydrate accumulation and decomposition processes in sediments. Depending on water content, the same clay mineral can serve as inhibitor, neutral component and promoter of hydrate formation. Wet clay is a good mineral surface for hydrate formation, but clays represent the worst media for hydrate accumulation and existence. Nevertheless, there are many observations of hydrate presence in clay-containing sediments, especially offshore. Experimental modelling of metastable hydrate decomposition in sediment samples recovered from permafrost in “Yamal crater” in the Russian Arctic has shown that metastable hydrates located in frozen, salted clays can generate huge volumes of gas, even with a negligible (tenth and hundredth of a degree) temperature rise.
