TL;DR: The effects of climate variability and change on Canadian agriculture have become an important research field since the early 1980s as discussed by the authors, focusing on agricultural adaptation, a purposeful proactive or reactive response to changes associated with climate, and influenced by many factors.
Abstract: The effects of climatic variability and change on Canadian agriculture have become an important research field since the early 1980s. In this paper, we seek to synthesize this research, focusing on agricultural adaptation, a purposeful proactive or reactive response to changes associated with climate, and influenced by many factors. A distinctive feature of methods used in research on adaptation in Canadian agriculture is the focus on the important role of human agency. Many individual farmers perceive they are well adapted to climate, because of their extensive 'technological' tool-kit, giving them confidence in dealing with climatic change. In many regions, little concern is expressed over climatic change, except where there are particular types of climatic vulnerability. Farmers respond to biophysical factors, including climate, as they interact with a complex of human factors. Several of these, notably institutional and political ones, have tended to diminish the farm-level risks stemming from climatic variability and change, but may well increase the long term vulnerability of Canadian agriculture. Notwithstanding the technological and management adaptation measures available to producers, Canadian agriculture remains vulnerable to climatic variability and to climate change.

TL;DR: This review compares older conventional electron-microscopic methods with new cryotechniques currently available and the results each has produced and the importance of the results in terms of the authors' perception of the makeup and function of bacterial surfaces and their interaction with the surrounding environment is highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the polytope of feasible power generation schedules in the unit commitment (UC) problem and provided computational results comparing formulations for the UC problem commonly found in the literature.
Abstract: This paper examines the polytope of feasible power generation schedules in the unit commitment (UC) problem. We provide computational results comparing formulations for the UC problem commonly found in the literature. We introduce a new class of inequalities, giving a tighter description of feasible operating schedules for generators. Computational results show that these inequalities can significantly reduce overall solution times.

TL;DR: In meat-type poultry, growth-related disease can be reduced or eliminated by reducing feed intake without affecting final body weight, and metabolic imbalance induced by high nutrient intake may cause some of the conditions.

TL;DR: A 3-year field trial indicated that yield and survival of transgenic plants were significantly improved, supporting the hypothesis that tolerance of oxidative stress is important in adaptation to field environments.
Abstract: Transgenic alfalfa (Medicago sativa) expressing Mn-superoxide dismutase cDNA tended to have reduced injury from water-deficit stress as determined by chlorophyll fluorescence, electrolyte leakage, and regrowth from crowns. A 3-year field trial indicated that yield and survival of transgenic plants were significantly improved, supporting the hypothesis that tolerance of oxidative stress is important in adaptation to field environments.
