LARGE PLOT EVAUATION OF VARIOUS LEPIDOPTERAN TACTICS, 2009

Efficacy of Vip3a and Cry1ab Transgenic Traits in Cotton against Various Lepidopteran Pests

From 2004 through 2005, plots of experimental transgenic cotton lines containing the vegetative insecticidal protein, Vip3A; δ endotoxin, Cry1Ab; and both Vip3A and Cry1Ab were evaluated for efficacy against certain lepidopteran pests. Results showed that the cotton line containing Vip3A was more efficacious against the beet Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) and fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J....

Visual Coherence for Large-Scale Line-Plot Visualizations

Displaying a large number of lines within a limited amount of screen space is a task that is common to many different classes of visualization techniques such as time-series visualizations, parallel coordinates, link-node diagrams, and phase-space diagrams. This paper addresses the challenging problems of cluttering and overdraw inherent to such visualizations. We generate a 2x2 tensor field du...

Rice Stink Bug Control in Large-Plot Trials

Eleven large-plot trials were located across nine counties in eastern Arkansas to evaluate the efficacy of select insecticides on the rice stink bug. Lambda-cyhalothrin, zeta-cypermethrin, methyl parathion, and carbaryl achieved initial control. However, only lambda-cyhalothrin and zeta-cypermethrin maintained significantly lower counts of the rice stink bug at 14 days after treatment (DAT). La...

Metafol: Program Tactics and Logic Tactics plus Reflection Metafol: Program Tactics and Logic Tactics plus Reeection

universit a di genova facolt a di ingegneria dipartimento informatica sistemistica telematica Abstract The goal of this paper is to present a reasoning system, called METAFOL, embodying the features of a self-reeective system, i.e. a system which has a representation of its own code and is able to reason about and, possibly, extend or modify it. These features have been achieved by employing a ...
