Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...

Antibiotic resistance genes in plague ecosystems: Threatening the emergence of resistant plague

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) within the ecosystem of natural plague foci, assessing their potential impact on the efficacy of plague treatments. Employing 16S rRNA gene sequencing and high-throughput

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

[Prospects of plague control in its natural foci].

Zhurnal mikrobiologii, epidemiologii i immunobiologii, 2003
The unique experience of plague control in its natural foci was accumulated in the Soviet Union in the 1930s-1970s. At that period the main measure taken for conditioning these foci was the extermination of rodents, the main carriers of plague, and their fleas as vectors with the aim of breaking, as it was then believed, the continuous process of the ...

Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary private carbon initiatives (VPCIs) promote the implementation of agricultural conservation practices that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) via financial incentives to participating farmers. Simultaneously, an array of public policies supports the adoption of conservation practices through technical and financial ...

[Activity of the natural foci of plague in the Northern Caucasus in recent years].

Zhurnal mikrobiologii, epidemiologii i immunobiologii, 2003
During the last two years the natural foci of plague in the North Caucasus were controlled with relatively low intensity. Nevertheless, every year rodents of different species and their fleas, both infected with Yersinia pestis, were detected in all 5 foci.

Pesticide MRLs as Trade Barriers: Evidence From Vietnam's Coffee and Rice Exporters

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As tariffs have declined globally through bilateral and regional trade agreements, food safety standards have emerged as significant determinants of agricultural trade flows. This study examines the impact of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for five pesticides—Azoxystrobin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprole, Clothianidin, and Cyhalothrin—on ...

[The problem of natural foci of plague: the search for ways for its resolution].

Meditsinskaia parazitologiia i parazitarnye bolezni, 1996
The paper deals with one of the most important problems of plague natural foci, namely the places and types of its bacillus persistence outside the parasitic system, as well as in the interepizootic period. It also discusses different hypotheses forwarded on the basis of field observations and experimental findings.

Sampling Strategy: An Overlooked Factor Affecting Artificial Intelligence Prediction Accuracy of Peptides’ Physicochemical Properties

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study reveals that sampling strategy (i.e., sampling size and approach) is a foundational prerequisite for building accurate and generalizable AI models in peptide discovery. Reaching a threshold of 7.5% of the total tetrapeptide sequence space was essential to ensure reliable predictions.
