Limothrips cerealium (or "grain thrips") is an insect of the phylum Arthropoda, known as parasite of plants of the family Gramineae. (Guarneri F, Guarneri C, Mento G, Ioli A. Pseudo-delusory syndrome caused by Limothrips cerealium. Int J Dermatol. 2006 Mar;45(3):197-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-4632.2006.02727.x. PMID: 16533215.)
Microbial physiology is a classical discipline where the aim is to perform a qualitative and/or quantitative characterization of certain microbial species. (Jens Nielsen, Lisbeth Olsson, An expanded role for microbial physiology in metabolic engineering and functional genomics: moving towards systems biology, FEMS Yeast Research, Volume 2, Issue 2, May 2002, Pages 175–181, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1567-1364.2002.tb00083.x)
Increased energy expenditure and heat release because of the stimulating effect that the nutrients of food have on metabolism in general. (NALT https://lod.nal.usda.gov/nalt/33394)
Livestock water use is water associated with livestock watering, feedlots, dairy operations, and other on-farm needs. Other livestock water uses include cooling of facilities for the animals and products, dairy sanitation and wash down of facilities, animal waste-disposal systems, and incidental water losses. The livestock category excludes on-farm domestic use, lawn and garden watering, and irrigation water use. (https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-resources/science/livestock-water-use)
Carpobrotus acinaciformis is a succulent perennial of the family Aizoaceae, native to South Africa. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpobrotus_acinaciformis)
Green technology can be broadly defined as technology that has the potential to significantly improve environmental performance relative to other technologies. In general, green technologies are considered those that “protect the environment, are less polluting, use all resources in a more sustainable manner, recycle more of their wastes and products, and handle residual waste in a more acceptable manner than the technologies for which they were substitutes.” (UNCTAD, 2023. Technology and Innovation for Cleaner and More Productive and Competitive Production https://doi.org/10.18356/9789210028295)
In fisheries, a reference point is the scientifically determined amount of biomass or catch that is determined to be a level that will allow the stock to continue to be sustainably harvested in the future.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting cervids, the deer family, and humans. It belongs to a group of similar diseases such as BSE (mad cow disease) and scrapie in sheep. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wasting_disease)
Edam is a ripened firm/semi-hard cheese in conformity with the General Standard for Cheese (CXS 283-1978). The body has a near white or ivory through to light yellow or yellow colour and a firm-textured (when pressed by thumb) texture, suitable for cutting, with few more or less round rice to pea sized (or mostly up to 10 mm in diameter) gas holes, distributed in a reasonable regular manner throughout the interior of the cheese, but few openings and splits are acceptable. (FAO & WHO. 2022. Standard for Edam. Codex Standard, No. 265-1966. Rome. https://www.fao.org/fao-who-codexalimentarius)
A measure of precision in quantitative studies comparing the variability of sets with different means. (FAO & WHO. 2017.

Barley bran is obtained as a by-product of barley milling naked or de-hulled barley. It consists of testa and pericarp, germ, the three-celled aleurone layer, and the subaleurone layer. Due to its high content of soluble dietary fibre, in particular its β-glucan content, its use is becoming more widespread in baking. (Lukinac J, Jukić M. Barley in the Production of Cereal-Based Products. Plants. 2022; 11(24):3519. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants11243519)
