One of the more active areas of interest has been the question of whether changes in the money stock affect the farm! nonfarm product relative price ratio. The reason for this particular interest, as descri...

Endemic diseases of cattle, such as bovine viral diarrhea, have significant impact on production efficiency of food of animal origin with consequences for animal welfare and climate change reduction targets. Many modeling studies focus on the local scale, examining the on-farm dynamics of this infectious disease. However, insight into prevalence and control across a network of farms ultimately ...

We describe a novel approach to particle-detector cooling in which a modular farm of active coolant-control platforms provides independent and regulated heat removal from four recently upgraded subsystems of the CLEO detector: the ring-imaging Čerenkov detector, the drift chamber, the silicon vertex detector, and the beryllium beam pipe. We report on several aspects of the system: the suitabili...

purpose: discuss application of virtual reality in self-propelled agricultural machine test; Method: analyze current farm environment, establish 3D virtual scenario of a farm, construct a virtual reality system combining physical engine, mechanical kinematics and dynamics, and simulate whole performance of the self-propelled machine based on virtual reality; Result: the agricultural mechanical ...

An analysis prospects unification manufacturing and processing industries given. The features structure simple, small, large technological systems are described. influence stages digitalization in new synergetic picture agricultural revealed. To effectively use existing ca...

Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance made news on several fronts in the past year. Many public health organizations, including the CDC, used terms such as "crisis", "catastrophic consequences", and "nightmare scenario" to highlight the rapid emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. A report from the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, on the fifth anniversary of the publ...

Introduction The transition from on-farm to industrial-scale livestock and poultry production in the United States has increased the social stress at the rural-urban interface as a result of actual environmental impairments, perceived increases in environmental risk, demographic and cultural shifts within agricultural communities and disillusionment with the nature of the economic growth that h...
