Meaning of the Degree A degree from UH Hilo/CAFNRM signifies that the student has obtained knowledge of science-based solutions for addressing food security, public health, and protection of the natural resources and the environment in Hawaiʻi and the tropical Pacific. This student is able to actively engage with and contribute to advancing the understanding and implementation of agriculture especially in the Pacific Basin and to steward terrestrial and aquatic natural resources. II. Mission Statement The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo’s College of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management (CAFNRM) is the only tropical agriculture program in the 50 states that focuses on hands-on undergraduate instruction. With a record of accomplishment in baccalaureate education, applied research, community outreach and service, it has made a significant impact in training agricultural and environmental stewards in the tropical Pacific Basin and beyond. In particular, the college has been a leader in innovative plant science/ agroecology, aquaculture, and pre-veterinary programs that reach a wide range of students. Not satisfied to reflect on the past, CAFNRM strives for higher goals to enhance excellence and produce versatile and resilient graduates that are prepared to meet challenges locally, nationally, and internationally. To accomplish these goals, CAFNRM must readily adapt to change and take advantage of opportunities to enrich its academic programs while maintaining core strengths. CAFNRM’s vision, mission, core values, and goals (Appendix A) remain relevant to the changing needs of our mainly rural clientele while maintaining a safe operating space for the natural environment. The College is continuously striving to attain its strategic goals in alignment with UH Hilo’s overall mission statement and the meaning of a bachelor’s degree. The core values of CAFNRM which are the foundation for our mission and vision are: • Excellence • Productivity • Creativity • Accountability • Flexibility and Viability • Partnerships • Transparency III. Executive Summary CAFNRM has maintained its focus on developing an academic program resulting from Hawaiʻi Act 191 and its associated mandates. It remains the only tropical horticulture program in the US that still focuses on providing a four-year baccalaureate program, in both instruction and applied research, that is continuously responsive to the needs of the local, national and international agricultural community, hence the quality and program components evolved as our scope of response widened. Recent modifications were driven by changes in the composition of our faculty, the goals of current research grants and the status of our research and educational facilities including the farm,

  • Gas Fermentation of C1 Feedstocks: Commercialization Status and Future Prospects
    Review Gas fermentation of C1 feedstocks: commercialization status and future prospects Leonardo V. Teixeira, Liza F. Moutinho, and Aline S. Romão-Dumaresq, SENAI Innovation Institute for Biosynthetics, Technology Center for Chemical and Textile Industry, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Received December 04, 2017; revised June 04, 2018; accepted June 05, 2018 View online at Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com); DOI: 10.1002/bbb.1912; Biofuels, Bioprod. Bioref. (2018) Abstract: The increasing emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and carbon oxide (collectively referred as C1 compounds) are likely to configure a major contribution to global warming and other envi- ronmental issues. The implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered a crucial strategy to prevent global warming, but the overall costs of currently available CCS technologies are still prohibitive for its large-scale deployment. Using microorganisms capable of assimilating C1 com- pounds for producing value-added products could be an important driver for mitigating emissions and minimizing their deleterious consequences, while simultaneously deriving additional economic benefits from these compounds. This review summarizes the main microorganisms and metabolic routes being investigated, with special focus on both the products targeted and the current industrial initiatives. There are a number of companies investing in these routes and in some instances commercial deploy- ment was identified. Despite the variety of commercially-appealing products, genetic manipulation

Lignocellulosic biomass can be gasified to produce syngas, which is a gas mixture consisting mainly of H2, CO, and CO2. The major challenge of biomass gasification is the syngas’s final quality. Consequently, the development of effective syngas clean-up technologies has gained increased interest in recent years. Furthermore, the bioconversion of syngas components has been intensively studied using acetogenic bacteria and their Wood–Ljungdahl pathway to produce, among others, acetate, ethanol, butyrate, butanol, caproate, hexanol, 2,3-butanediol, and lactate. Nowadays, syngas fermentation appears to be a promising alternative for producing commodity chemicals in comparison to fossil-based processes.

  • Biogeographical Homogeneity in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. II
    Vol. 19: 75–84, 2013 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Published online September 4 doi: 10.3354/ab00521 Aquat Biol Biogeographical homogeneity in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. II. Temporal variation in Lebanese bivalve biota Fabio Crocetta1,*, Ghazi Bitar2, Helmut Zibrowius3, Marco Oliverio4 1Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Villa Comunale, 80121, Napoli, Italy 2Department of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Lebanese University, Hadath, Lebanon 3Le Corbusier 644, 280 Boulevard Michelet, 13008 Marseille, France 4Dipartimento di Biologia e Biotecnologie ‘Charles Darwin’, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Viale dell’Università 32, 00185 Roma, Italy ABSTRACT: Lebanon (eastern Mediterranean Sea) is an area of particular biogeographic signifi- cance for studying the structure of eastern Mediterranean marine biodiversity and its recent changes. Based on literature records and original samples, we review here the knowledge of the Lebanese marine bivalve biota, tracing its changes during the last 170 yr. The updated checklist of bivalves of Lebanon yielded a total of 114 species (96 native and 18 alien taxa), accounting for ca. 26.5% of the known Mediterranean Bivalvia and thus representing a particularly poor fauna. Analysis of the 21 taxa historically described on Lebanese material only yielded 2 available names. Records of 24 species are new for the Lebanese fauna, and Lioberus ligneus is also a new record for the Mediterranean Sea. Comparisons between molluscan records by past (before 1950) and modern (after 1950) authors revealed temporal variations and qualitative modifications of the Lebanese bivalve fauna, mostly affected by the introduction of Erythraean species. The rate of recording of new alien species (evaluated in decades) revealed later first local arrivals (after 1900) than those observed for other eastern Mediterranean shores, while the peak in records in conjunc- tion with our samplings (1991 to 2010) emphasizes the need for increased field work to monitor their arrival and establishment.

More recently, the analysis of protein and DNA polymorphism has provided a means to overcome difficulties in distinguishing the different species of oysters based solely on shell morphology. In order to identify oysters of the Tunisian north-east coast, we sequenced a 16S rRNA mitochondrial fragment from 68 oysters sampled from the Bizert Lagoon and the Gulf of Hammamet in northern Tunisia. Comparison of oyster 16S rRNA sequences available in GenBank showed the presence of both Ostreola stentina and Crassostrea gigas in our samples, which could not be detected on the basis of shell morphology only.

  • Langston R and H Spalding. 2017
    A survey of fishes associated with Hawaiian deep-water Halimeda kanaloana (Bryopsidales: Halimedaceae) and Avrainvillea sp. (Bryopsidales: Udoteaceae) meadows Ross C. Langston1 and Heather L. Spalding2 1 Department of Natural Sciences, University of Hawai`i- Windward Community College, Kane`ohe,¯ HI, USA 2 Department of Botany, University of Hawai`i at Manoa,¯ Honolulu, HI, USA ABSTRACT The invasive macroalgal species Avrainvillea sp. and native species Halimeda kanaloana form expansive meadows that extend to depths of 80 m or more in the waters off of O`ahu and Maui, respectively. Despite their wide depth distribution, comparatively little is known about the biota associated with these macroalgal species. Our primary goals were to provide baseline information on the fish fauna associated with these deep-water macroalgal meadows and to compare the abundance and diversity of fishes between the meadow interior and sandy perimeters. Because both species form structurally complex three-dimensional canopies, we hypothesized that they would support a greater abundance and diversity of fishes when compared to surrounding sandy areas. We surveyed the fish fauna associated with these meadows using visual surveys and collections made with clove-oil anesthetic. Using these techniques, we recorded a total of 49 species from 25 families for H. kanaloana meadows and surrounding sandy areas, and 28 species from 19 families for Avrainvillea sp. habitats. Percent endemism was 28.6% and 10.7%, respectively. Wrasses (Family Labridae) were the most speciose taxon in both habitats (11 and six species, respectively), followed by gobies for H. kanaloana (six Submitted 18 November 2016 species). The wrasse Oxycheilinus bimaculatus and cardinalfish Apogonichthys perdix Accepted 13 April 2017 were the most frequently-occurring species within the H.

The present work is a contribution to the knowledge of the functional diversity and structure of the malacofauna community in this area. Three different stations (A, B and C) within the port were sampled seasonally for a year (2005-2006). The mollusc assemblage studied was represented by 14 species (in totally 2669 ind. were found). Among the four mollusc classes recorded, bivalves were the best represented (73.76% of the total number species), followed by gastropods (22.02%), cephalopods (2.42%) and polyplacophores (1.80%). Atlanto-Mediterranean (42.85%) and Endemic Mediterranean (39.28%) taxa prevailed in the community, followed by Indo-Pacific (7.14%) and cosmopolitan species (3.57%). A clear spatial zonation was distinguished. The station B hosted the highest abundance of gastropods (309±19.92 ind.
