This mutation, in the gene for a protein called myostatin, is found naturally in Belgian Blue cattle. The Belgian-Blue mutation disrupts myostatin’s structure, and thus function. Two years ago, in collaboration with researchers at Texas A&M University, Dr Fahrenkrug edited the myostatin gene of a member of another breed of cattle to do likewise. Bruce Whitelaw at the Roslin Institute, in Scotland, has similarly edited resistance to African swine fever into pigs, by altering a gene that helps regulate immune responses to this illness to make it resemble the version found in warthogs. These wild African pigs have co-evolved with the virus and are thus less susceptible to it than are non-African domesticated animals. Randall Prather at the University of Missouri has similarly created pigs that cannot catch porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, an illness that costs American farmers alone more than $600m a year.

We've got you covered with our resources for both industrial job seekers and industrial employers looking to hire. If you have an open position, you can also fill out our form for a chance for it to be featured in the Thomas Monthly Update newsletter. This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5" diameter, sensing area. Better pointers for details of design and access for ordering would be helpful.

IF THE future of farming is to be more factory-like, some might argue that the treatment of stock animals such as chickens and pigs has led the way. Crop plants, unsentient as they are, cause no welfare qualms in those who worry about other aspects of modern farming. Even fish, as long as they are kept healthy, rarely raise the ire of protesters.

Specific topics include maritime transport systems, global supply chains, gateways and transport corridors. Win-Win Transportation Emission Reduction StrategiesThere are many possible ways to reduce pollution emissions. Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective policy reforms that solve transportation problems by improving mobility options and removing market distortions that cause excessive motor vehicle travel. This report discusses the Win-Win concept and describes various Win-Win emission reduction strategies.
