Report of the Blueprint Commission on the Future of New Jersey Agriculture
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1973

description: Due largely to forces external to itself, agriculture in New Jersey is operating under the influence of an impermanence syndrome which leads to short-term decision making, less investment in agricultural enterprises, and slower technological adaptation. This can be corrected by creating a permanent land preserve for agricultural production and by making it feasible for farmers to farm this land and make a profit. This report addresses itself to both of these objectives.

Synthesis of the fourteen Pilot Regions reports
Creators: name: Mantino, Francesco
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This report responds to the needs mentioned in Task 1.2 of the RUSTIK project:The task aims to conduct a preliminary analysis of existing data and stakeholders' information to formulate a description of 14 Pilot Regions: functional characteristics and their position/needs about the three transition themes; relevant strategies for the future; elements of strength and weakness; data gaps and needs for additional information, etc.

This analysis relies on examining available data and documents, interviews of key actors, focus groups with local stakeholders involved in the Living Labs and existing literature on the selected Pilot Regions.

This task is structured in three steps:1) A desk analysis of the existing literature on the Pilot Region2) Focus groups with LL actors3) First inventory of available data

All these steps are functional for collecting the needed information to draft the Pilot Region Report.

Desk analysis has been preceded in some cases by one or two preliminary meetings with significant LL actors to explore the most critical issues (relevant differences within the territory, strengths and weaknesses, relevant transitions, and strategies).But there is no rigid procedure to follow in this respect: it depends on the research team's previous knowledge/relations. Therefore, desk analysis can also be implemented in parallel with a preliminary meeting.

The report is structured into two main sections.The first section deals with a comparative analysis of the 14 Pilot Regions (PRs) characteristics based on data and information gathered by the research teams and the Pilot region reports' description. This analysis considers demographic and socio-economic information for the Pilot Regions to be explored and improved in the next steps of the research project. The analysis of the 14 PRs has been coordinated by the WP1 lead and is based on specific guidelines and reporting templates.The second section explores the most relevant transition processes (socio-economic, demographic, environmental-climatic and digital) and related strategies to cope with transition challenges, as they have been explored through focus groups and interviews organised in each living lab. The section includes an analysis of the main information gaps emerging from the work conducted in this task in the different PRs.
Comparison of selected volatile organic compounds during the summer and winter at urban sites in New Jersey

description: This paper presents a comparison of summer and winter levels of twenty-five selected volatile organic compounds (VOC) measured as part of the New Jersey project on Airborne Toxic Elements and Organic Substances (ATEOS). Most of the selected VOC were found in the range of 0.01-1.00 ppbv, with the exception of toluene (1-5 ppbv) and benzene (1-3 ppbv). However, peak levels of many compounds increased more than 100 fold during specific pollutant episodes. Generally, VOC levels were higher in the winter than the summer. Day to day variations of measured aromatic VOC showed significant correlations at each site suggesting an area source (motor vehicles), while there was little relationship between chlorinated species. During summer oxidant episodes, selected VOC increased from 2-10 times at Newark and Elizabeth, but not at Camden. In the winter, nocturnal temperature inversions caused levels of selected VOC to increase from 2-3 times seasonal average at all sites.

description: Spatial transcriptomics improves transcriptomic studies by incorporating RNA localization information, which provides a more profound insight into cellular functions, interactions between cells, and their reactions to external stimuli. Single-molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (smFISH) is a commonly utilized technique in spatial transcriptomics that allows for the accurate visualization of mRNA distribution in cells. This method aids in the quantitative evaluation of mRNA localization patterns by utilizing various physical properties, thereby illuminating processes such as transcription, nuclear export, and localized translation. Nevertheless, existing computational approaches for analyzing smFISH images often have constraints, concentrating primarily on cellular expression or specific biological contexts while overlooking broader physical analysis. In my PhD research, I created STProfiler, a comprehensive tool aimed at an unbiased physical examination of mRNA distribution. STProfiler includes an image analysis workflow that processes raw biological images to effectively detect mRNA and nuclei. It also employs machine learning techniques to biologically interpret mRNA spatial characteristics and categorize cells based on these features. My dissertation illustrates the use of STProfiler in multiple studies investigating the transcriptomic profiles of β-cells during the progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D), uncovering spatial transcriptomic diversity in β-cells. These investigations involve analyzing mRNA clusters and stress granules in pancreatic β-cells, measuring the physical characteristics of mRNAs linked to cellular stress and inflammation in mice developing T1D, evaluating the rise in HLA-DMB mRNA spliced variant in T1D, and exploring miRNA as a potential biomarker for T1D. Furthermore, STProfiler has also proven beneficial in tissue-wide spatial transcriptomics by creating masks for nuclei and cells from biological images and assigning mRNA transcripts to develop subcellular expression profiles. This capability allows for more thorough bioinformatic evaluations. In summary, STProfiler serves as a robust tool for both cell- and tissue-level spatial transcriptomics, offering an unbiased platform for researchers to investigate complex transcriptomic variations within cells.

Year: 1994

description: Delaware Bay is internationally recognized for its importance to shorebirds. The Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network lists the Bay among the top ten shorebird "Reserves" because it is critical to the survival of several species of birds including Red Knot and Sanderling. Protection for the birds is complicated by their need for a variety of marsh and beach habitats and the constant movement from one to another throughout their four week stay. Protection demands a comprehensive approach including the use of new methods of conservation biology and the integration of all conservation professionals working in the bay area. This cooperative effort secures Delaware Bay as a link in the chain of critical migrating shorebird habitats in North and South America.

Perceptions of recreational fishing boat captains: Knowledge and effects of fish consumption advisories

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The impacts of fish consumption advisories on recreational and subsistence fishing, particularly in fresh waters, have been examined extensively. By contrast, little attention has focused on organized recreational fishing, such as from party and charter boats, and particularly for salt water fish. We interviewed 93 New Jersey boat captains to determine their knowledge about fish consumption advisories, and whether, in their opinion, clients knew of fish consumption advisories, and whether they thought advisories had an effect on recreational fishing and their businesses. Advisories were ranked by captains as a moderate influence on the success of their business, less so than number of fish caught, strength of the economy, overfishing by commercial boats, and management regulations. Only one boat captain had not heard warnings about eating fish, but what captains said they had heard was mixed in its accuracy and completeness. Clients expect captains to know about fish, and about half of boat captains said clients had asked about the safety of eating fish. Captains who felt advisories were affecting their businesses tended to fish for species without high levels of mercury (except for bluefish) or PCBs, the primary contaminants of concern for state advisories and federal advice. However, these captains worked closer to areas (e.g., Raritan Bay complex and New York Harbor) subject to advisories than did other captains, and were more prone to say that management regulations (e.g., fish size, creel limits, seasons) and marketing and advertising by the industry or state were strong influences on the success of their seasons. Comparing captains who thought advisories had some or great effect (60%) versus those reporting "no effect" ( 40% ), there was no difference in the mean percentage of trips targeting high mercury species such as swordfish and shark. Many captains said they would or might post advisories, but 42% of the boat captains said they would not post consumption warnings if the state provided them. The significant portion (at least 15%) of saltwater fishing supported by these businesses suggests that these captains are an important conduit for future risk communication.
