Th e development of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in insect populations in agriculture not only depends on the level of resistance conferred by a selected resistance mechanism, but also on the fi tness cost associated with the resistance mechanism under specifi c ecological and environmental conditions. Bt resistance in the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni), which was identifi ed by ...

Rephrasing Silberman et al. [7], we believe “sustainability is a LEARNING process, not an endpoint”. To support that, we bring the concept of coauthoring system development to promote what Knowles et al. [4] called ‘spread the word’ of sustainability. Such concept states educators should be system’s co-designers to define the information to be used by the system’s final users. The concept is su...

Tillage practices can influence crop root development. Root distributions were determined for wheat (Tdicum aestivum L.) grown in a wheat-fallow rotation during the 1977-1978 winter wheat crop year on an Alliance silt loam (Aridic Argiustoll). The fallow tillage treatments were plow, subtillage, and chemical (no tillage). Each tillage treatment was split into subplots for N application of 0 or ...

Results are presented from a three gene population genetics and dynamics model of herbicide resistance in annual ryegrass. The models predictions are compared with those of other one and two gene resistance models to validate the modelling approach which will ultimately be used to develop a five-gene herbicide resistance model. The importance of initial gene frequencies for resistance in unsele...

Location selection is crucial in the franchise fast-food industry. A thorough location model paired with a proper analytical technique can considerably improve performance of placement decisions, attract more customers, and raise market share profitability. Franchise data sets have an imbalanced class nature. The prospect prediction decreased as result dataset's noisy characteristics. We develo...
