In the most recent U.S. Dietary Guidelines, the USDA Advisory Committee recommended for the first time the inclusion of sustainability considerations (DGA Committee, 2015). Since the U.S. Dietary Guidelines provide standards for nutrition and targets for federal and state food programs, explicitly incorporating sustainability would advance considerably discussions of food system sustainability ...

BACKGROUND Coarse and fine woody debris are substantial forest ecosystem carbon stocks; however, there is a lack of understanding how these detrital carbon stocks vary across forested landscapes. Because forest woody detritus production and decay rates may partially depend on climatic conditions, the accumulation of coarse and fine woody debris carbon stocks in forests may be correlated with cl...

Similarly priced stocks move together. Stocks that undergo splits experience an increase in comovement with low-priced stocks and a decrease in their comovement with highpriced stocks. Price-based comovement is not explained by economic fundamentals, firm size, or changes in liquidity or information diffusion. The shift in comovement following splits is greater for large stocks, high-priced sto...

Executive Summary This report is organized around five interlocking questions regarding ecosystem based approaches to managing aquatic living resources, based on the understanding that management in natural resource contexts is the control of human intervention in ecosystems, and with the general focus of fished stocks that may be both predators and prey for other species in the system. Single-...

Ten stocks of Cowdria ruminantium (Ball 3, Breed, Comoro, Germishuys, Kümm, Kwanyanga, Mali, Mara, Nonile and Welgevonden) were compared from a cross-immunity, serological and mouse pathogenicity point of view. They were found to differ in varying degrees. Except for the Ball 3, Comoro and Germishuys stocks that were similar but not identical, there was no pattern in the antigenic diversity of ...

quota in the Kattegat region between Sweden and Denmark, the Irish Sea and the west of Scotland. Environmental groups have long called for the industry to adopt new technologies and practices that can substantially reduce 'bycatch'. Larger mesh size is one straightforward measure that can save more juvenile fish. Charles Clover, author of The End Of The Line, said: " It is ridiculous that we ca...

There are differences in perception of the status of fisheries around the world that may partly stem from how data on trends in catches over time have been used. On the basis of catch trends, it has been suggested that about 70% of all stocks are overexploited due to unsustainable harvesting and 30% of all stocks have collapsed to <10% of unfished levels. Catch trends also suggest that over tim...

BACKGROUND Food shortage was associated with leprosy in two recent studies investigating the relation between socioeconomic factors and leprosy. Inadequate intake of nutrients due to food shortage may affect the immune system and influence the progression of infection to clinical leprosy. We aimed to identify possible differences in dietary intake between recently diagnosed leprosy patients and...

The study aims to examine the relationship between BIST Food and Beverage Index Coca-Cola İçecek stock values in Turkey. Granger method was used measure variables study, including daily data from 12th of September 2012 2022. results revealed a one-sided company. In other words, increase or decrease value stocks this company affects values.

Coastal wetlands can have exceptionally large carbon (C) stocks and their protection and restoration would constitute an effective mitigation strategy to climate change. Inclusion of coastal ecosystems in mitigation strategies requires quantification of carbon stocks in order to calculate emissions or sequestration through time. In this study, we quantified the ecosystem C stocks of coastal wet...
