Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Insects as Human Food in ZambiaA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The life cycle and culture structure of two commonly eaten worms in Zambia (Isoberlinia paniculata and Miombo/Mopani) were evaluated. The worms were grown on an artificial medium to evaluate the potential of producing them on a commercial scale. Approach: An interesting characteristic of the worms studied was that they reached their maximum weight and maximum length at the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Trade Regulations in the Sustainable Management of Natural ResourcesAbhijeet MukherjiProblem statement: The complex issues involved in the role of trade regulations in sustainable management of natural resources have necessitated intensive research in this area. Approach: Hence this study highlights the fact that while the international community is making efforts to take concrete actions to protect the environment, mitigate the negative impacts of increased trade and promote the positive impacts … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential, Implications and Solutions Regarding the Use of Rendered Animal Fats in AquafeedsJesse T. Trushenski, Rebecca T. LochmannProblem statement: In the past, aquafeeds were comprised largely of fish meal and fish oil derived from marine reduction fisheries. In addition to being highly palatable and readily digested by cultured fishes, these feedstuffs were historically inexpensive sources of protein, energy and essential nutrients. However, increasing cost and concerns over safety and sustainability have greatly incentivized the transition from fish … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 13,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Capability of Young Layers for Survival after Salmonella entritidis ChallengeE. S. Soliman, H. Busby, C. Kilpatrick et al.Problem statement: Genetic line differences in resistance of layer hens and young chicks to Salmonella entritidis have been identified through a lot of studies. That is why the agricultural industry was prepared for the potential phasing out of antibiotics for use in controlling bacterial pathogens. Early infection may result in long term colonization of layers with Salmonella entritidis, resulting in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Culture, Policy and Traditional Knowledge to Improve Engagement in Science CoursesLawrence K. Duffy, Catherine Hurt Middlecamp, Anna Godduhn, Cindy E. FabbriProblem statement: In our undergraduate science courses, we need to engage students by including the current issues and concerns of our students as well as recognizing the place-based context in which they learn. Including culture, policy and traditional knowledge when it intersects with a chemical principle and a challenging real world issue adds concreteness to the scientific process. Approach: Science … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
