Protease inhibitors in crop protection from insects
World wide crop losses without the use of pesticides and other non-chemical control strategies is estimated to be about 70% of crop production, amounting to U.S. $ 400 billion. Many insect pest families are known which cause serious damage to agriculture crops. Insect pest menace is one of the major factors that destabilize crop productivity in agricultural ecosystems. They are responsible for ...
متن کاملSome Recent Developments in Aviation and Environmental Protection Regulation
0378-777X/01/$12.00 © 2002 IOS Press In the years ahead, nations can either compete ruthlessly for resources, in a context of scarcity, or cooperate, respect the laws of nature, and share its abundance. Resource interdependence and the careful management of those resources owned in common will enlarge the area of unified action and do much to encourage world order. The growth of a worldwide con...
متن کاملSimulating Mortality From Forest Insects and Diseases
We describe methods for incorporating the effects of insects and diseases on coniferous forests into forest simulation models and discuss options for including this capability in the modeling work of the Interior Northwest Landscape Analysis System (INLAS) project. Insects and diseases are major disturbance agents in forested ecosystems in the Western United States, and over time, are responsib...
متن کاملSome New Developments in Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...
متن کاملNew Developments in Steel Reinforcement Protection From Corrosion
Due to life-cycle costs considerations, the Federal Highway Administration has required that all their new bridge structures have a service life of more than 75 years. The practical use of adequate concrete cover, low water/cement ratio, and corrosion inhibitors and admixtures are not enough to satisfy this requirement. Corrosion still affects the reinforcing steel through the diffusion of chlo...
