Can We Make Information Extraction More Adaptive?
It seems widely agreed that IE (Information Extraction) is now a tested language technology that has reached precision+recall values that put it in about the same position as Information Retrieval and Machine Translation , both of which are widely used commercially. There is also a clear range of practical applications that would be eased by the sort of template-style data that IE provides. The...
متن کاملBt crops benefit natural enemies to control non-target pests
Crops producing insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) control important lepidopteran pests. However, pests such as aphids not susceptible to Cry proteins may require other integrated pest management (IPM) tactics, including biological control. We fed aphids on Bt and non-Bt plants and analyzed the Bt protein residue in aphids and compared the effects of Bt plants ...
متن کاملNatural Enemies Delay Insect Resistance to Bt Crops
We investigated whether development of resistance to a Bt crop in the presence of a natural enemy would be slower than without the natural enemy and whether biological control, in conjunction with a Bt crop, could effectively suppress the pest population. Additionally, we investigated whether insecticide-sprayed refuges of non-Bt crops would delay or accelerate resistance to the Bt crop. We use...
متن کاملAssessing the Influence of Bt Crops on Natural Enemies
Transgenic Bt crops expressing proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) currently are grown commercially in ten countries on over 20 million hectares. Assessing their environmental safety is a critical part of the regulatory approval process and product stewardship for Bt crops. The environmental safety testing process for Bt crops follows a standard risk assessment approach, and invol...
متن کاملHow to Make Visual Modeling More Attractive to Software Developers
Visual modeling paradigm is known for a number of decades already but still vast majority of software engineers prefer traditional programming to automated code generation from visual models. In this paper we discuss several ways to make modeling using diagrams more usable for industrial software development. Specialized domain-specific visual languages could be used to make models clearer and ...
