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, […]

Including sub-disdrict fixed effects increases the magnitude to 19 percentage points
T2 shows no change by 2011 , but a large reduction by 2012 . Panel shows the association with fine particulate matter. PM2.5 concentration did not change significantly in the control group between baseline and follow-up. Households in T1 show significant reduction in average PM2.5 concentration at the first and second follow-ups. Households in T2 […]
The genetic control underlying these PUE mechanisms is covered in the subsequent section
Increased production of lateral roots, adventitious roots and root hairs all increase root surface area, and thus will increase P acquisition from the water and sediment and are important traits for PUE in watercress. In addition, the root cap can account for 20% of the phosphate absorbed by the roots of Arabidopsis. Therefore, increasing the […]
It is counter-intuitive that we do not observe a significant relationship with human capital
During the late 1970s, subsurface drip irrigation was the latest technology to improve water application and reduce water waste. In her empirical analysis of subsurface drip adoption amongst perennial crop growers in the San Joaquin Valley, Caswell finds that water cost and farm type are significant in predicting the likelihood of adopting drip relative to […]
None of the objective measures of health effects were associated with mold exposure or symptoms
Subsequently, a controlled exposure study was conducted with eight school employees who had shown increased histamine release to P. chrysogenum. Short-term exposure to high doses of P. chrosygenum and Trichoderma harzianum spores did not result in more mucous membrane or general symptoms than placebo. However, exposure to a high concentration of fungal spores for a short period […]
The same collectors conducted HLCs every night and were rotated between positions
In Africa, food insecurity and famine continue to affect millions of people . Given that nearly half of potential arable land in Africa occur in areas with irregular rainfall pattern, many countries have adopted irrigated agriculture as a key strategy to meet the rising demand for food . This effort has improved crop production by […]
Several methodological aspects greatly hamper comparison of the results
Similar levels of exposure to PCBs that were not contaminated by PCDFs were associated with markedly less toxicity, thus implicating the PCDFs or other thermal breakdown products present in the contaminated cooking oil in the observed neurodevelopmental effects . Children in the Japanese rice oil poisoning were not formally tested but were reported to exhibit […]
Normalized areas under the curve were up to 16 times lower in the primates
Consistently with the previously observed decrease in testicular testosterone production, the genes and gene pathways involved in steroidogenesis and cholesterol homeostasisand were all down regulated . The effects of DBP on the expression of genes involved in cholesterol transport and steroidogenesis were dose-dependent, with significant reductions in mRNA levels of scavenger receptor B type 1 and […]
Observational research indicates that cannabis production is likely to affect wildlife space use
One major limitation of our approach to interpreting detection as a combination of detectability and space use intensity is that the two are not entirely separable. We have included covariates that we believe address one aspect more than the other, but there could be unaccounted for detectability variables that confound our interpretation of space use […]
There was widespread confusion and frustration with the regulations around recreational cannabis
Farmers mentioned the need for more crop research, information-sharing, and stronger norms around acceptable environmental practices. While this theme did not translate easily into quantifiable spatial proxies, we focused on farmers’ expressed desire to grow in remote areas because of the opportunity to work the land in proximity to wild flora and fauna. We quantified […]
