University Students' Utility Value of Learning About a Local or Nonlocal Environmental Socioscientific Issue: Written Reflections and Instructional Contexts

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Socioscientific issues (SSIs) are central to science education, yet empirical research on learners' perceived relevance in SSI teaching and learning remains limited. Utility value is a relevance construct that refers to the perceived usefulness of learning for learners' lives.

Controlling watergrass in corn: With pre-emergence herbicides

California Agriculture, 1962
Four years of testing have shown that chemicals incorporated in the soil as pre-emergence treatments give satisfactory control of watergrass and many broad-leaved weeds in corn growing in the organic soils of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Eptam, Tillam, atrazine and Randox-T are all potentially useful chemicals.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Break‐Even Carbon Prices for Low‐Water, Low‐Emission Farming Techniques in Vietnam

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...
