Alishewanella species are expected to have high adaptability to diverse environments because they are isolated from different natural habitats. To investigate how the evolutionary history of Alishewanella species is reflected in their genomes, we performed comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses of A. jeotgali, A. aestuarii, and A. agri, which were isolated from fermented seafood, tidal...

Sociological studies of global agriculture need to pay close attention to the protectionist aspects of neoliberalism at the global scale of environmental governance. With agri-food studies in the social sciences broadening interrogations of the impact of neoliberalism on agri-food systems and their alternatives, investigating global environmental governance (GEG) will help reveal its impacts on...

A standard performance testing protocol for mechanical manure solids separators has been developed and tested. The protocol measures separator press-liquor throughput and dry-mass capture efficiency across a range of input total solids (TS) concentrations. This protocol was used to test two commercially available screw-press manure solids separators, a Vincent KP-6L and a PressTech Agri-Press w...

Chlorpyrifos is registered for use in agriculture to control numerous insects on barley, wheat, oats and a wide variety of garden vegetables (Agriculture Canada and Environment Canada 1990; Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 1997). Nonagricultural uses include the control of insect pests on turf and ornamental plants and in nonfood domestic areas, veterinary clinics, and commercial storage or pro...
