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 […]
There was a wide range of responses regarding the importance of regulation for farmer decision making.
The variables missing from the paid participants survey include demographics- story, tenure, exterior in the sun, maintenance – count of active leaks, behaviors – chemical storage, scented products, windows are open, frequently take a long shower, shoes are removed, and frequency of vacuuming.Table 4 presents the results from the negative binomial regression analysis of indoor […]
The pattern around Altiplano’s boundary is not evident at the municipality level
During my fieldwork campaign, I was not able to answer these questions, but numerous observations provided mixed indications of the nature and importance of ethnic networks in the region. Therefore, simply using language or membership in an ethnic group in the region might be an inadequate indicator, and such networks among farmers need to be […]
Semi-structured interviews lasted approximately one hour with each of the participants
Productivity of certain crops has decreased. For example, in 2001, Puno was responsible for 81% of the national production of quinoa, but by 2016, this share had fallen to 45.2% . Even though this dissertation focuses on pre-existing vulnerability, an understanding of past and present climate dynamics will help us comprehend some of the challenges […]
