Blueberries are one of the few fruit crops native to North America. Wild blueberries were utilized by Native Americans for making medicines, dyes, and flavorings, as well as for direct consumption. Once a small-scale crop produced within limited regions, blueberries are now grown throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Although highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are the…

Fathers today are increasingly looking to be involved in the domestic events of the family as active, involved fathers (Lamb 2000). However, current re-search suggests that actual fatherly engagement depends on complex causal relations. Apart from welfare-state framework conditions, work organizations especially influence the lifestyle and engagement of a father. They are consid-ered…
In each and every society, certain groups of people are ‘marginalized’. By marginalization here we mean being disregarded, ostracized, harassed, disliked, persecuted, or generally looked down upon.

Community gardens, large-scale urban farms, rooftop gardens, hellstrip gardens, and edible landscaping in public s…
Food is central to urban health, urban economies and urban form. Roberts has argued, “More than with any other of our biological needs, the choices we make around food affect the shape, style, pulse, smell, look, feel, health, economy, street life and infrastructure of the city” (2001: 4). However, food has been largely absent from urban studies and urb…

Radiation is energy that moves through space or matter at a very high speed. This energy can be in the form of particles, such as alpha or beta particles, which are emitted from radioactive materials, or waves such as light, heat, radiowaves, microwaves, x-rays and gamma rays. Radioactive materials, also known as radionuclides or radioisotopes, are atoms that are unstable. In nature, there is a…

Increase national content by 15% through the substitution of vehicle imports, by substituting imports of electronic components for vehicles, expanding aluminum auto parts production, and developing battery cell production for electric vehicles. Manufacture trains in Mexico and/or their components. Double dual education plans.
Radioactivity is a spontaneous process characteristic of atoms with unstable nuclei in which the nucleus releases energy either as a particle with kinetic energy or as electromagnetic energy. Upon release of this energy the nucleus may be stable or it may still be unstable and will acquire stability through an additional transformation(s). The original species prior to radioactive disintegrati…

Gastronomy is the art or practice of selecting, cooking, and eating “good” food. Most food writers and expert chefs say that gastronomy is a term that indicates a form of respect for the art of preparing and serving food. Over time, some foods fall out of favor and, as a result, new foods are invented. The molecular gastronomy trend adds “science” to the art of selecting, preparing, ser…
