Although the agricultural sector consumes more than 90% of the extracted water, its efficiency is lower than other sectors. Also, according to the population growth and critical role of food security, and the necessity to supply water to other sectors, an increasing pressure to save water, optimized consumption and increasing water use productivity in agriculture will occur in the future. Nowad...

BACKGROUND We sought to assess the benefit-risk balance of FOLFIRINOX versus gemcitabine in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. METHODS We used generalized pairwise comparisons. This statistical method permits the simultaneous analysis of several prioritized outcome measures. The first priority outcome was survival time (OS). Differences in OS that exceeded two months were con...

Batesian mimicry, the resemblance of palatable organisms to an aversive model, is a well documented phenomenon in biology. Resemblance to the model, however, frequently seems to be inaccurate for unknown reasons (Edmunds, 2000). Recently, Johnstone (2002) modelled a scenario where kin selection can lead to the evolution of inaccurate mimics. The model assumes that if mimics are relatively frequ...
