Small-Scale Oilseed Presses: An Evaluation of Six Commercially-Available Designs
نویسندگان
چکیده
As part of a project on adding value to farm operations with food-grade oils, the University of Vermont Extension and Pennsylvania State Extension teamed up to evaluate the design and operation of several small -scale oilseed presses. While there is a great deal of interest in the production of oilseeds, many questions arise about post-harvesting processing, and many of these concerns revolve around the efficiency, affordability, and best practices of an oilseed press, which is the heart of the oilseed production system.

Monitoring the escape of transgenic oilseed rape around Japanese ports and roadsides.
An investigation was carried out to monitor the escape and spread of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) transgenic plants and the introgression of transgenes to its closely related feral species in Japan. We screened a total of about 7500 feral B. napus, 300 B. rapa, and 5800 B. juncea seedlings from maternal plants in 143 locations at several ports, roadsides, and riverbanks. The presence of glufos...
متن کاملDevelopment of qRT-PCR Test for Quantification of Rubella Virus in Commercially Available Vaccines
vaccines is considered as a critical point and in-process of quality control (IPQC) test of vaccine production. Rapid tests, like real time PCR, are more appropriated when the production occurs at industrial scale because of the amounts of starting materials and the excess of consumed time required. In the current study, a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
متن کاملContrasting effects of mass-flowering crops on bee pollination of hedge plants at different spatial and temporal scales.
Landscape-wide mass-flowering of oilseed rape (canola Brassica napus) can considerably affect wild bee communities and pollination success of wild plants. We aimed to assess the impact of oilseed rape on the pollination of wild plants and bee abundance during and after oilseed-rape bloom, including effects on crop-noncrop spillover at landscape and adjacent-field scales. We focused on two shrub...

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a concern in shoulder surgery, especially during arthroplasty. Whilemany studies have explored the characteristics and efficacy of different sterilizing solutions, no study has evaluated themethod of application. The purpose of this study was to compare two popular pre-surgical preparatory applications (two4 x 4 cm gauze sponges and applicator s...
متن کاملLarge-scale monitoring of effects of clothianidin-dressed oilseed rape seeds on pollinating insects in Northern Germany: effects on honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Possible effects of clothianidin seed-treated oilseed rape on honey bee colonies were investigated in a large-scale monitoring project in Northern Germany, where oilseed rape usually comprises 25-33 % of the arable land. For both reference and test sites, six study locations were selected and eight honey bee hives were placed at each location. At each site, three locations were directly adjacen...
