The impact of Bt cotton on poor households in rural India [PDF]
, 2010 The impact of genetically modified (GM) crops on the poor in developing countries is still the subject of controversy. While previous studies have examined direct productivity effects of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton and other GM crops, little is ...

Perspective: Hollow Core Optical Fibres for Ultraviolet and Visible Wavelengths
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hollow core optical fibres bypass material constraints that limit optical fibres at ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. However, their challenging fabrication has limited their development, and significant gains in performance remain possible. In this perspective we outline approaches to enable the next generation of fibres for shorter wavelengths ...

Effectiveness and chemical pest control of Bt-cotton in the Yangtze River Valley, China [PDF]
The sustainability of Bt-cotton in China, at least along Yellow River Valley, has been questioned, so this paper examines its effectiveness along Yangtze River Valley, where Bt-cotton is also widely sown, to determine what might be the factors beneath ...

Inheritance of resistance to Bt canola in a field-derived population of Plutella xylostella
, 2003 Crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal Cry proteins are grown on millions of hectares. Recommendations to delay resistance are based on a high expression/refugia strategy that aims to kill resistant heterozygotes and enable some ...

Polymorphic Superparaelectric Engineering Boosting Energy Storage Capacity in BaTiO3‐Based Ceramics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Herein, Ca2+ incorporation promotes the coexistence of CaTiO3‐/BaTiO3‐derived paraferroelectric states, stabilizing cubic‐orthorhombic‐tetragonal polymorphic superparaelectric phases. This minimizes polarization energy barriers, facilitating full polarization saturation without compromising efficiency.

Ferroelectric Devices for In‐Memory and In‐Sensor Computing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by biological systems, in‐memory and in‐sensor computing overcome von Neumann bottlenecks. Ferroelectric devices can mimic synaptic functions and sense stimuli like light or force, therefore are ideal for these paradigms. This review introduces the ferroelectric devices applied for in‐memory and in‐sensor computing, covering their structures ...
