Salmonella and other pathogenic organisms that infect poultry and other livestock can originate from feed or the environment. Technologies to control Salmonella infection in poultry are important measures taken to reduce turkey and poultry production losses. A study was designed…
The thesis describes the development of an electrical immunoassay (EI) biosensor for detecting foodborne pathogens. The biosensor consists of two components: an immunosensor that is based on an electrical sandwich immunoassay and a reader for signal measurement. The architecture…
The environmental impact of agricultural activities on water quality was studied on two sub-watersheds of the L'Assomption river in Quebec, over a 3 year period. The sub-watersheds studied were the Saint Esprit (26.1 km 2) and Desrochers (17.9 km2). Development of a methodology …
Improving the performance of irrigated agriculture is essential for increasing productivity to feed the rapidly growing world population. Methodological difficulties exist in performance evaluation and improvement of irrigation systems due to the complexity of the problem and th…
Since vegetation prevents erosion and is the most cost-effective form of erosion control, the relationship between vegetation and the erosion rate in vegetated open channels is highlighted and analyzed. The objective of this study is to develop three approaches that are capable …
Data from a water table management research project near Plymouth, NC were collected and used to test the combined DRAINMOD-CREAMS model. The combined model was tested in predicting surface runoff as well as sediment and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) carried by surface runo…
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different water table depths (WTDs) on plant physiological parameters, and on groundwater quality. Data for 1992 and 1993 were collected from field experiments conducted at two sites near Ankeny and Ames. At the Ankeny site,…
Practical solutions to soil pollution by the petroleum industry are still to be fully realised. With new, unresolved and recurring cases, remediation options that are readily available, cost effective and environmentally friendly are required. Analytical methods for quick and ea…
Türkiye’de farklı iklimlerin bir arada görülmesi, ülkenin verimli ve geniş arazilere sahip olması birçok tarımsal ürünün yetişmesine imkân sağlamaktadır. Bu özelliklere sahip olmasından dolayı Türkiye, dünyada tarımsal potansiyeli en yüksek ülkelerden biri olmuştur. Türkiye gibi…
Energy consumption using fossil fuels creates environmental pollution including greenhouse gasses promoting climate changes throughout the world. To levitate these problems, renewable energy sources have been promoted as an alternative. Lignocellulose is one of the most abundant…
Günümüzde artan enerji ihtiyacı ile birlikte enerji kaynaklarının verimli kullanımı, yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir enerji, binalarda yüksek performans konuları literatürde daha sık yer almaya başlamıştır. Bu unsurlar göz önüne alındığında enerji tüketiminde yüksek paya sahip o…
Bu tezde ele alınan ana mesele Blokzincir teknolojisinin gıda tedarik zincirinde izlenebilirliğe getireceği yenilikleri, sunduğu avantajları araştırmak ve gıda güvenliğine kazandıracağı faydaları incelemektir. Geleneksel tedarik zinciri bilgi paylaşımı açısından birbirinden kopu…
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been used in many consumer products due to their antimicrobial and antifungal properties. As a result of widespread usage of silver nanoparticles, it is expected to accumulate in air, water and soil environment. The aim of this study is to dete…
Agricultural technology can play an important role in the effort to eliminate food insecurity and global poverty. This thesis presents an evaluation of a technology at the design stage, and a meta-analysis of the factors that influence adoption of technologies at the disseminati…
Pathogens spread by airborne transmission represent a persistent threat to economic stability and human/animal health. These pathogens are particularly prevalent in the agricultural sector, especially in animal rearing facilities. However, the agricultural industry currently lac…
As one of the criteria pollutants regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), fine particulate matter (i.e., PM2.5) has significantly negative impacts on human health and environmental quality. In Southeast United States (U.S.), secondary inorganic PM2.5 …
The agriculture sector of East Java, which is a major food production center in Indonesia, played a major role in the economic development of Indonesia in the past twenty five years. Several forms of agricultural policies have been designed and implemented to continue this contr…
