Hardcover. Condizione: New. The interest in the use of entomopathogenic nematodes as biological pest control agents has increased exponentially over the past decades. A hundred different laboratories explore these nematodes and their bacterial symbionts in more than 60 countries from every inhabited continent. Despite research breadth that extends from molecular biology to field ecology, the discipline is unified by common interest in biological control. Thirty years ago, the idea of using nematodes to control pest populations was vague promise held by the handful of researchers working with these obscure insect parasites. Today, they are no longer a laboratory curiosity but have begun to gain acceptance as environmentally benign alternatives to chemical insecticides. The entomopathogenic nematodes have proven particularly successful and are now commercially mass-produced in six of the seven continents to treat pest problems in agriculture, horticulture and human husbandry. The ease of mass production and exemption from registration requirements are the two major reasons for early interest in the commercial developments of entomopathogenic nematodes. However, demonstrations of practical use, particularly in Europe and North America and subsequently in Japan, China and Australia, spurred developments across the world that have led to the availability of nematodes against pests that were once thought impossible to control.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, place or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. Greenhouse gases, including the carbon containing gases carbon dioxide and methane, can be emitted through the burning of fossil fuels, land clearance, and the production and consumption of food, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, transportation and other services. In most cases, the total carbon footprint cannot be calculated exactly because of inadequate knowledge of data about the complex interactions between contributing processes, including the influence of natural processes that store or release carbon dioxide. The global average annual carbon footprint per person in 2014 was about 5 tonnes Co2 e. Although there are many ways to calculate a carbon footprint, the Nature Conservancy suggests that the average carbon footprint for a U.S. citizen is 16 tons. This is one of the highest rates in the world, leading to new policies implemented to reduce carbon footprint. Scholars estimated that New York City can eliminate the carbon footprint of its buildings by 2050. Based on city documents and national statistics, a significant measure directly controlled by New York is the elimination of carbon emissions from municipal district heating, which may account for up to 30% of New York City's reported carbon emissions and 58% of the energy-related carbon emissions. The use of household carbon footprint calculators originated when oil producer BP hired Ogilvy to create an "effective propaganda" campaign to shift responsibility of climate change-causing pollution away from the corporations and institutions that created a society where carbon emissions are unavoidable and onto personal lifestyle choices. The term "carbon footprint" was also popularized by BP.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), the demand for higher education is increasing significantly. Traditional universities cannot accommodate the influx of students and other stakeholders who want to join the university because of limited infrastructure and resources. Brakel and Chisenga et al. (2004) and Maritim (2009) suggest that SSA countries can reach the required increase in number of students that enroll for tertiary programmes only by using ICT based Open and Distance Learning (ODL). In Africa, the use of e-learning for ODL has not been growing very fast because of the low coverage of Internet and its usage (LaRocque & Latham, 2003; Maritim, 2009). Examples of universities that have implemented e-learning in Tanzania are the University of Dar es Salaam, Sokoine University of Agriculture, Mzumbe University and Open University of Tanzania (Sife et al., 2007).Today many farmers are already benefiting from digital technologies, but barriers still exist stopping these digital technologies from being used to their full potential. The majority of farmers require support to understand and take up new technologies and to make decisions on the use of ICT.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The environmental impact of agriculture varies based on the wide variety of agricultural practices employed around the world. Ultimately, the environmental impact depends on the production practices of the system used by farmers. The connection between emissions into the environment and the farming system is indirect, as it also depends on other climate variables such as rainfall and temperature. Some other factors can include types of machinery used for agriculture purposes as well as the farmer's choice of how they handle their livestock. There are two types of indicators of environmental impact: 'means-based', which is based on the farmer's production methods, and 'effect-based', which is the impact that farming methods have on the farming system or on emissions to the environment. An example of a means-based indicator would be the quality of groundwater, that is effected by the amount of nitrogen applied to the soil.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) pandemic has created both a public health crisis and an economic crisis in the United States. The pandemic has disrupted lives, pushed the hospital system to its capacity, and created a global economic slowdown. As of September 15, 2020 there have been more than 6.5 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 195,000 deaths in the United States (Johns Hopkins University n.d.). To put these numbers into context, the pandemic has now claimed more than three times the American lives that were lost in the Vietnam War (Ducharme 2020; authors' calculations). The economic crisis is unprecedented in its scale: the pandemic has created a demand shock, a supply shock, and a financial shock all at once (Triggs and Kharas 2020). On the public health front, the spread of the virus has exhibited clear geographic trends, starting in the densely populated urban centers and then spreading to more-rural parts of the country (Desjardins 2020). Figure A shows the weekly number of deaths caused by COVID-19 in each U.S. region from late February to late August 2020.…

La pandémie a perturbé des vies, poussé le système hospitalier à sa capacité, et créé un ralentissement économique mondial. Au 15 septembre 2020, il y a eu plus de 6,5 millions de cas confirmés de COVID-19 et plus de 195 000 décès aux États-Unis (Johns Hopkins University n.d.). Pour replacer ces chiffres dans leur contexte, la pandémie a maintenant coûté plus de trois fois les vies américaines perdues pendant la guerre du Vietnam (Ducharme 2020 ; calculs des auteurs). La crise économique est d'une ampleur sans précédent : la pandémie a créé à la fois un choc de demande, un choc d'offre et un choc financier (Triggs et Kharas 2020). Sur le plan de la santé publique, la propagation du virus a présenté des tendances géographiques claires, commençant dans les centres urbains densément peuplés pour se propager ensuite dans les régions plus rurales du pays (Desjardins 2020). La figure A montre le nombre hebdomadaire de décès causés par le COVID-19 dans chaque région des États-Unis de la fin février à la fin août 2020. …

A pandemia perturbou vidas, empurrou o sistema hospitalar para a sua capacidade e criou uma desaceleração económica global. Até 15 de setembro de 2020, houve mais de 6,5 milhões de casos confirmados de COVID-19 e mais de 195.000 mortes nos Estados Unidos (Johns Hopkins University n.d.). Para contextualizar esses números, a pandemia já custou mais de três vezes a vida americana que se perdeu na Guerra do Vietnã (Ducharme 2020; cálculos dos autores). A crise econômica é sem precedentes em sua escala: a pandemia criou um choque de demanda, um choque de oferta e um choque financeiro de uma só vez (Triggs e Kharas 2020). Na frente da saúde pública, a propagação do vírus mostrou claras tendências geográficas, começando nos centros urbanos densamente povoados e depois se espalhando por zonas mais rurais do país (Desjardins 2020).
