This document provides an opinion of the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on genetically modified maize MON 863 and the maize hybrid MON 863 x MON 810. The opinion is based on two questions raised by the Commission related to applications for the placing of the maize on the market by Monsanto under the Novel Food Regulat...

1.1 Purpose The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture is rising, but not without debate. There are many scientists who argue that genetic engineering in agriculture is the best way to solve many issues of poverty, food security, environmental harm, and the need for increasing competitiveness in sales, but others raise ethical issues regarding the health of the people who c...

The Application of Input Shaping to a System with Varying Parameters David P. Magee, Graduate Student Dr. Wayne J. Book, Professor George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Georgia The original input shaping technique developed by Singer and Seering is summarized and a different definition for residual vibration is proposed. The new definition ...

this research study explored the impact of learning styles and input modalities on the second language (l2) learners' input processing (ip). this study also sought to appraise the usefulness of processing instruction (pi) and its components in relation to the learners' learning styles and input modalities. to this end, 73 male and female iranian efl learners from islamic azad universi...

Land-use conversion and resulting habitat fragmentation can affect the source(s) of primary productivity that fuels food webs alter their structure in ways leads to biodiversity loss. We investigated effects landscape modification on Araguaia River floodplain central Brazil using top predator, indicator species Caiman crocodilus (Crocodilia, Alligatoridae). measured carbon (δ 13 C) nitrogen 15 ...

The multiple impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the long-duration earthquake ground motion, mostly expressed in terms of harmonic waves, and a closed-form solution is derived of the elastic–plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom structure under the “critical multiple impulse input.” Since only the free vibration appears under such multiple impulse input, the energy approach ...

Intermediate labour markets (ILMs) provide fixed-term work opportunities and coaching for people in disadvantaged positions markets. We study 46 sequences from six audio-recorded recruitment interviews an ILM job targetted at who have been unemployed a prolonged period. Using ethnomethodological approach to identity, membership categorisation analysis conversation analysis, we how interviewers ...

Despite a wide-spread pedagogical interest and scholarly conviction in the possibilities of educational drama for creating more contextually-situated, engaging, multi-modal L2 learning experiences (Piazzoli, 2018; Stinson & Winston, 2011), there is scarce empirical evidence concerning what actually taking place interactionally classrooms adults. This article presents bottom-up microanalysis...
