Case Study Analysis of a Decision Coaching Intervention for Young Adults with Early Psychosis.

Young adults with early psychosis often disengage from essential early intervention services (i.e., Coordinated Specialty Care or CSC in the United States).

Effects of grazing platform stocking rate on productivity and profitability of pasture-based dairying in a fragmented farm scenario.

The area adjacent to the milking parlor, accessible for grazing by lactating dairy cows (i.e., the grazing platform [GP]), can be limited on fragmented pasture-based dairy farms.

Access time to pasture under wet soil conditions: Effects on productivity and profitability of pasture-based dairying.

A long grazing season improves the profitability of pasture-based dairy production. It can entail grazing under wet soil conditions and the risk of damaging swards. Housing cows either temporarily or completely while soil moisture is high can avoid damaging swards.

The effect of fertilizer nitrogen input to grass-clover swards and calving date on the productivity of pasture-based dairy production.

The objective of this systems-scale study was to investigate grazing season timeframes on pasture and milk production and on milk processability of dairy systems with compact spring-calving dairy cows grazing white clover (Trifolium repens L.) based grassland. Fifty-four primiparous and multiparous Holstein-Friesian dairy cows were used in a one-factor study with 3 systems (n = 18) and repeated over 2 yr (2008/09 and 2009/10).

Determination of microbial numbers in anaerobically digested biofertilisers.

This study aimed to quantity total numbers of bacteria, fungi and archaea in different types of commercial liquid anaerobic digestates, and to identify common patterns in their microbial numbers post-digestion and possible implications of their use as biofertiliser. Relationships between microbial numbers and physical-chemical traits of the digestates were also investigated. Quantification was performed using culturable and molecular (quantitative PCR) approaches.
