This is a timely issue for crop protection diffusion programs, which have a larger place...

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 ...

In this paper we present how the process modeling and execution tools iPM and iPE can be used to model and execute biological processes. The main focus of this paper is on the flexibility of iPM and iPE with respect to the customization to the biological application domain. We will demonstrate the flexibility of our modeling methodology by giving two examples: Modeling the invocation semantics ...

Small-scale farmers in developing countries use hazardous pesticides taking few or no safety measures. Farmer field schools (FFSs) teaching integrated pest management (IPM) have been shown to reduce pesticide use among trained farmers. This cross-sectional study compares pesticide-related knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), potential exposure, and self-reported poisoning symptoms among 35 FFS ...
