The objections of these two organizations seemed to focus on the revised definitions and the removal of exemptions and not the enforcement section of LB 45. They complained that LB 45 would prevent convenience stores from creating smoking areas for their customers and that it would prevent smoking in private offices. As Keigher stated, “This […]

There are benefits of Nebraska’s unicameral system over the two-chamber system
They have weakened efforts to keep tobacco out of the hands of children , opposed any attempt to increase the excise tax on cigarettes and fought against laws to protect the public from exposure to secondhand smoke . The tobacco industry regularly spends large amounts of money to employ the most influential lobbyists in the state, as […]
We then present findings from a survey of 35 diverse urban farm operations in the East Bay
Defined in these ways, the radical, transformative potential of urban food production spaces and their preservation often gets lost or pushed to the side in city planning decisions in metropolitan regions such as the San Francisco Bay Area, where the threat of displacement is ubiquitous given high levels of economic inequality and extreme lack of […]
The risks of exposing children to residual tobacco smoke contamination are not well understood
Significant differences in concentrations of nicotine in residential dust were observed for all self-reported smoking categories. Pearson correlation coefficients for covariates of interest are shown in Table 15. The group of smoking variables was highly correlated as was the group of parental demographic variables, whereas the two groups of variables were negatively correlated with each other. […]
Growers who completed the survey were also clearly knowledgeable about cannabis cultivation
Growers were likely referring to hemp russet mite , two-spotted spider mite , broad mite and Carmine spider mite , respectively, but this remains unclear because there are many species of mite commonly referred to as russet mite, spider mite and red mite . This similarly applies to aphids, thrips, larvae, mildew, rots and molds. Accurate […]
Pastoral communities are those whose means of living entirely depends on raising livestock
There are two contrary debates focused on whether pastoral lifestyles could serve as an adaptation strategy to climate change in the drylands regions of East Africa. The first contends with deep pessimism about the pastoral mode of life, viewing pastoralism an old living system by which pastoralists could not meet their livelihood requirements. Pastoralists live in […]
Environmental harms resulting from accelerated erosion are well documented
Therefore, removing sick or dead birds from the pens likely did not prevent secondary exposure from contaminated litter or soil, which is the primary mode of transmission for MSD virus . The farm in Stanislaus County was the only game bird producer near commercial poultry producers. This farm was also the largest with approximately 40,000 pheasants […]
Firms producing animal products and grapes anticipate the least use
Nation of birth, prohibited as a basis for screening and as a topic of pre-employment inquiry, is nevertheless considered in 12 percent of farm businesses, least of all by the largest employers. What else do farmers look for in prospective production employees? Respondents overwhelmingly confirm the importance of criteria listed in the questionnaire, 95 percent […]
The implemented trackers were evaluated for their precision and computing time
Due to the difficulties described in the current CV approaches, tracking pig activity is a challenging task without considerable labor efforts. The objective of this paper is to develop a semi-supervised pipeline, Virtual Tag , to automate long-term tracking of group-housed pigs. In this pipeline, successful tracking algorithms are implemented. They include Sparse Optical Flow proposed […]
Monocular vision has been used for guidance in orchards
In these operations plants grow in distinct rows and the wheels of the autonomous vehicles must drive only inside the space between rows. Examples include open field row crops ; orchards with trees/vines/shrubs and their support structures; greenhouses and indoor farms. Crop-relative auto-guidance is necessary in the situations described above. Researchers have used various sensors, […]
