In this article, we propose an approach understanding and analyzing which conceptualizes power, not as obstacle but intrinsic, productive force in bringing “co-production” into being. approach, is understood analyzed a tensional, complex, ...

Production of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) from canola was studied in the laboratory and in commercial storage. Canola rapidly produced amounts of CO and CO(2) far exceeding those reported for dry cereal grain and dried peas and at levels dangerous to human health. In the laboratory, canola (5.8% m.c.) was stored in sealed flasks at 25, 35 and 45 degrees C for 12 weeks. Level...
