A study was conducted to determine the extent of genetically modified (GM) protein from Roundup Ready Soybeans in tissues and eggs of laying hens. Because a breakdown of the modified portion of protein was expected due to the digestive process of the hen, an immunoassay test was run. By using a double antibody sandwich format specific for the CP4 EPSPS protein, a qualitative test was performed ...

cesss to a rye-grass pasture during 4 h/d. Brewery supplementation at the 75% level increased blood pH (P<0.01), reduced glucose (P<0.001), and tended to increase protein (P=0.10). Besides, there was a general correlation within glucose and protein, glucose and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), pH and GOT, protein and GOT. In conclusion, high levels of brewery supplementation increase bl...

Many numerical computations show a small diierence only between the optimal value of the one-dimensional cutting stock problem and that of its corresponding linear programming relaxation. In this paper we investigate the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with respect to the modiied integer roundup property (MIRUP) and present some results on subproblems having the MIRUP.

During the past 2 years, numerous groups have discussed recreational and other commercial uses of wildlife and land resources by farmers and ranchers. For example, in 1986, the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station conducted the International Ranchers Roundup in Kerrville, Texas. At this meeting, several speakers presented papers on the marketing of wildlife and rangeland resources, some discus...

The spraying of coca (Erythroxylum coca) with glyphosate in Colombia has raised concerns about possible impacts on amphibians. There are few toxicity data for species other than those from temperate regions, and these have not been generated with the combination of formulated glyphosate (Glyphos) and the adjuvant, Cosmo-Flux (coca mix) as used in coca control in Colombia. In order to characteri...

due to ever-increasing global diffusion and related socio-economic implications, the detectionof genetically modified organisms (gmos) is very important. in this study, we design a plasmidcontaining two genes in mutated form as construct-specific (cp4 epsps) and event-specific(pd35s). it is applied for quantitative-competitor (qc) pcr as a simple and reliable method forthe detection of gm food....

Shortly after the introduction of Roundup Ready (RR) soybean questions arose whether these varieties and/or glyphosate applications to them alter manganese (Mn) relations compared to conventional soybean varieties. It is well documented that certain cations, including Mn, can reduce the performance of glyphosate when the cations are present in water used as a carrier. The complexes formed betwe...

For a licence to be issued, the Regulator must be satisfied that the release will not pose any risks to human health and safety or the environment that cannot be managed. To this end, Section 51 of the Act requires the Regulator to prepare a risk assessment and risk management plan (RARMP) for each licence application, in consultation with a wide range of expert groups and stakeholders includin...

I generally routinely recommend omega-3 fatty acids (1 or more g), vitamin D3 (2000–5000 international units), a good multinutrient, probiotics, and digestive enzymes if there are gastrointestinal (GI) issues, and melatonin (2–9 mg) if there is sleep difficulty. Of the dose ranges indicated here, the lower dose is for children and the higher dose is for larger adolescents and adults. Is the com...
