Crucifers comprise a major group of vegetable crops in the Changjiang River Valley, China. The control of insect pests on crucifer vegetable crops has largely relied on the heavy use of chemical insecticides in the last 30 years, resulting in serious consequences of insecticide resistance, increased costs of control and insecticide residues hazardous to human health. A group of Chinese and Aust...

The study of how people acquire and diffuse information among heterogeneous populations has a rich history in the social sciences. However, few approaches have been developed to better understand how information diffusion patterns and processes affect resource management in complex socio-ecological systems. This is a timely issue for crop protection diffusion programs, which have a larger place...

PURPOSE The authors previously reported that a diet containing 30% galactose retards the development of the late-onset photoreceptor dystrophy in the spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rat. It was suggested that the dystrophy might result from faulty galactosylation of a critical glycoprotein or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in the interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM). In the current study, this hypothesis ...

Realisasi belanja pemerintah di Provinsi Riau cenderung fluktuatif selama tahun 2015-2020. Sedangkan nilai Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) naik setiap tahun, kecuali pada 2020 mana terjadi penurunan namun kembali berikutnya. Nilai IPM selalu lebih tinggi dari rata-rata secara nasional. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menggali sejauh pengaruh Riau, yang meliputi pusat (pempus) dan daerah (pem...
