Throughout my research career, I have witnessed the prosperity of the Danio rerio (zebrafish) in science. My first direct contact with the zebrafish as an experimental model was around 2015 when I was working in an environmental mutagenesis lab and some peers used it for toxicity screening. I have been working with fish since I was an undergraduate biology student, not surprisingly, since fishi…
The differences between “international health†and “global health†are not well defined; many use the terms interchangeably. Both fields seek to address health issues that cross borâ€Âders and present hazards to diverse populations across the continents and the world. For some public health workers, international health addre…
The Heliport manual is divided into two part to address helicopter landing areas at , a range of offshore instalations and vessels as distinct from the heliport used in the onshore environment
this project was made possible by the Gesellschaft für kanadastudien (Gks) and the Deutsche akademische austauschdienst (DaaD), both of which provided grants in generous support of my dissertation research at the Merril Collection of science Fiction, speculation & Fantasy and york university in toronto, Canada, between august 2009 and april 2010. Without them, this project might not have…
It is an undeniable fact that the global community remains largely unprepared to conduct early pandemic identification interception and to subsequently mount a reliable pandemic response. This is clearly evident from our experiences from the recent COVID-19 pandemic, with its global death toll of over 7 million people. The pandemic has mercilessly exposed the frailty of communities around the g…
Abstract Crop improvement has been a long-standing focus of agricultural research, aiming to enhance nutritional richness, aroma, visual appeal, and yield to meet the growing global food demand. Recent advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering, particularly genome editing, offer precise and targeted tools for modifying crop genomes. Traditional plant breeding methods, while …
The present book is a collection of 10 original research articles and reports, associated with selected topics in agricultural chemistry. The discussed issues are organized in four sections: Classification and labeling of active substances in plant protection products, Environmental and stress plant physiology and behavior, Antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of plant extracts, and Pollutan…
This book focuses on the food supply chain, especially in lesser developed countries where supply chain problems and issues in the agribusiness sector are most dramatic. However, the lessons learned from this book are pertinent to any aspect of the supply chain and to any country whether it is fully developed or not. The chapters cover many aspects of the supply chain or the value chain of agri…
