Effects of message delivery on cross-cultural biosecurity compliance: Insights from experimental simulations
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-15)Background: Effective biosecurity communication of transmission risks and associated protective behaviors can reduce the impacts of infectious diseases in US animal agriculture. Yet, more than 1/5 of animal production ... -
Connecting livestock disease dynamics to human learning and biosecurity decisions
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-19)The acceleration of animal disease spread worldwide due to increased animal, feed, and human movement has driven a growing body of epidemiological research as well as a deeper interest in human behavioral studies aimed at ... -
A network perspective on multi-scale water governance in the Lake Champlain Basin, Vermont
(Ecology and Society, 2023-03-31)The prevalence and persistence of harmful cyanobacterial blooms demonstrate the importance of governance systems that effectively engage with many actors to address nonpoint pollution from a variety of sources across ... -
Rethinking ‘responsibility’ in precision agriculture innovation: lessons from an interdisciplinary research team
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-06-04)We examine the interactions, decisions, and evaluations of an interdisciplinary team of researchers tasked with developing an artificial intelligence-based agricultural decision support system that can provide farmers ... -
Population pharmacokinetic analysis of enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin after intravenous injection to cats with reduced kidney function
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-09-20)Background It is unknown if enrofloxacin accumulates in plasma of cats with reduced kidney function. Hypothesis To determine if enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin have reduced clearance in azotemic ... -
