Paperwork documenting the time-intensive adoption process was, on occasion, lost in the rubble of the devastating Haiti earthquake.
Within 20 years of WCR arrival in Illinois, intensive (94 98%) adoption of cultural control for rootworm management has unwittingly changed a cornfield specialist into a pest whose egg-laying females could be collected from almost any crop in the landscape (including maize) [28], resulting in a behavioural resistance to crop rotation [29].
We discuss research progress and adoption of intensive silvopastoral systems in Colombia and Mexico.
A decline in capture fisheries, coupled with a strong consumer-driven demand for aquaculture products, has resulted in the adoption of intensive fish production facilities.
The recent decoupling of agricultural production and deforestation in the southern Amazon has been made possible thanks to (1) the adoption of intensive agricultural practices, including irrigation, and (2) the diversification of economic activities, including fish farming.
The reasons for this increase appear to be the increment in the area planted with flammable species; the rejection of these landscape modifications on the part of local communities that target these plantations in arson attacks; and, the adoption of intensive forest management practices resulting in the accumulation of a high fuel load.
Despite its broad adoption in intensive care units (ICUs), it remains challenging to identify patients who would be most likely to achieve positive outcomes with this therapy and to provide realistic prognostic information to patients and families.
Kassie et al. (2009) also reported that the probability of adopting conservation tillage increased with the number of household members because conservation tillage adoption was labor intensive.
These soils may have future yield sustainability problems due to intensive cropping, erosion and limited adoption of nutrient management strategies.
Nitrate leaching can be reduced by the adoption of less intensive grassland systems which, though requiring a greater land area to achieve the same agricultural output, result in less nitrate leaching per unit of production than do intensively managed grasslands.
The aims of our analyses were to estimate the effects in terms of histopathological response and liver toxicity of (1) the addition of bevacizumab to the FOLFOXIRI/XELOXIRI regimens ('bevacizumab group' vs 'chemotherapy group') and (2) the adoption of such intensive treatments (all treated patients vs 'control group' of chemo-naive patients).
