Organic alternatives

The expected benefits of mentoring for mentors/mentees/the organization (alternatively, you could leave this to be an interactive discussion later on in the training).

Some pest problems are easily controlled by organic alternatives. Others are controlled oidy with difficulty or have no reliable organic controls. Some crops either must be avoided by organic gardeners or these gardeners must be willing to risk significant losses from pests. 

In spite of the high level of commercial success of inorganic semi-conductor based photovoltaic cells, they are unlikely to challenge seriously electricity generation from fossil fuels because they are costly to manufacture and it is also difficult to make large area cells. These difficulties have spurred on research into organic alternatives, especially those that can be incorporated into or be part of a polymer, thus making cell construction easier.

As mentioned in chapter 17, unsaturated fatty acids are abundant in all living organisms. Alternative mechanisms for the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids have evolved. Two chemically distinct pathways exist for the introduction of a cis double bond into saturated fatty acids The anaero-bic pathway as typified in E. coli, and the aerobic pathway found in eukaryotes. 

This development was further accelerated when, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, chromates began to fall out of favor (for both environmental and occupational health reasons), and thus the need arose to find suitable (organic) alternatives for use as effective corrosion inhibitors. Various stabilized phosphate and zinc/organic programs were developed at this time...

While there are machines that can place seeds in all 128 cells of the tray simultaneously I have the students sow the seeds by hand. It is a little slower, but is a contemplative process that is conducive to conversation. As the class sows the pepper, tomato, basil, and eggplant seeds, the questions emerge out of the silence. Sang Min, who has happily been using synthetic fertilizers for many years, asks, What is wrong with chemical fertilizers And, what is the organic alternative ... 

In the past, plastics have been made from hydrocarbons. Now, with the development of new catalysts, they can also be made from agricultural products. The organic alternatives to petrochemical polymers cannot only... 

Rifampicin (600 mg orally twice daily for 2 days) should be administered to patients with meningococcal or H. influenzae meningitis who have not been treated with ceftriaxone, as soon as they can tolerate oral medication to eliminate nasal carriage of the organisms. Alternatively ciprofloxacin (500 mg orally stat) has proven efficacy for elimination of nasal carriage of meningococcus only.

In comparison with conventional agricultural methods, organic alternatives/ additives can improve soil fertility and have fewer detrimental effects on the environmental ecosystems. These alternatives can also produce equivalent crop yields to conventional methods. 

Age- and diet-related degeneration of the artery intima (Sect. 11.1.1) results in fatty deposits that narrow an artery, predisposing to endothelial surface injury and clotting, pathogenic thrombus formation. A thrombus most often results in a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or stroke, but less dramatic effects occur from pathogenic thrombi in other organs. Alternatively, a clot may develop because of an irregular blood flow caused by a cardiac...
