Transgenic maize and Mexican maize diversity: Risky synergy?
The two articles that begin this issue of Agriculture and Human Values discuss different aspects of the debate about the potential effects of transgenic varieties (TGVs) of maize on the maize diversity of small-scale farming in Mexico. Bellon and Berthaud in their paper, ‘‘Traditional Mexican agricultural systems and the potential impacts of transgenic varieties on maize diversity,’’ focus on w...
متن کاملA Taxonomy of Race Conditions
abstract Parallel programs are frequently non-deterministic, meaning they can give diierent results when provided the same input. These diierent results arise because variations in the timing of the multiple threads cause the threads to access shared resources in diierent orders. The phenomena that cause the non-deterministic behavior have been (and continue to be) variously referred to as acce...
متن کاملTransgenes in Mexican maize: desirability or inevitability?
F or several years, there has been uncertainty about the presence of transgenes in maize landraces in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The first report of their presence in this region was that of Quist and Chapela (1, 2), who based their results on samples obtained in 2000; these findings were later called into doubt because of the methodology used. However, further studies by the Mexican governme...
متن کاملA Taxonomy of Race Detection Algorithms
abstract This paper presents a taxonomy that categorizes methods for determining event orders in executions of parallel programs. These event orderings can then be used to detect race conditions in parallel programs. The paper also shows how recent race results t into the event ordering taxonomy, and presents some new results for previously unexamined points in the taxonomy.
متن کاملA taxonomy for computer science
We try to capture the essence of information technology and computer science, arguing that information technologists have the same principal goal as all technologists: to create machines with certain properties. To achieve this, they formalize the problem, i.e. abstract the properties into a specification and invent or develop a schema, i.e. an abstraction of the machine’s structure. Subsequent...
