Sustainability and viability of marginal land agriculture : urban and arid-land food systems.
Get PDF117 leaves : color illustrations.Includes bibliographical references: leaves 114-117.This thesis comparatively analyzes urban and arid-land agriculture, looking specifically at the sustainability and viability of these two marginal land food systems. The potential of improving both systems' sustainability and viability is explored through analyzing the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economics and sociocultural. The author synthesizes the practices and concludes that the development of urban and arid-land food systems is viable -- capable of succeeding -- only if the environmental, economic, and sociocultural sustainability of the systems are maximized and well balanced. Sustainably developing food systems in agriculturally marginal land areas -- the areas of present-day growth and future prosperity -- is necessary when considering the realities of urbanization and desertification.Arid-land and urban food systems explained -- Sustainability and viability -- Three pillars of sustainability -- Environmental sustainability -- Economic sustainability -- Sociocultural sustainability -- Marginal land food systems around the world -- Arid-land food systems -- Environmental sustainability of arid-land food systems -- Sociocultural sustainability of arid-land food systems -- Urban food systems -- Environmental sustainability of urban agriculture -- Economic sustainability of urban food systems -- Sociocultural sustainability of urban food systems

Evidence for selection of toll-like receptors in Atlantic killifish Fundulus heteroclitus.
No full text57 leaves : illustrations.Bibliography: leaves 56-57.Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a multigene family whose function is critical to the innate immune system in invertebrates and vertebrates. Variation within TLR gene regions may be a reflection of environment and pathogen co-evolution. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of genomic variation at TLR 5, 9, and 21 of Atlantic killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. Atlantic killifish have been studied extensively because of their ability to survive in variable environments that may be breeding grounds for varying populations of pathogens. The study looked at four populations of killifish from northern Maine. Sites included one copper contaminated locale and three other presumably uncontaminated environments. Average heterozygosity was calculated for all individuals at the gene regions. The results suggested that little variation was evident in the exon region of TLR 5. However, more variation was seen at the exon regions of TLR 9 and 21, as well as, the 5'UTR of TLR 9. Variation amongst the four populations was also detected. These results suggest that variation does exist at TLR 5, 9, and 21, however further studies need to be completed in order to gauge the implications of this variation
