Crop Knowledge Discovery Based on Agricultural Big Data Integration [PDF]
ICMLSC-2020, 2020 Nowadays, the agricultural data can be generated through various sources, such as: Internet of Thing (IoT), sensors, satellites, weather stations, robots, farm equipment, agricultural laboratories, farmers, government agencies and agribusinesses. The analysis of this big data enables farmers, companies and agronomists to extract high business and ...

Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk?
ChemSusChem, EarlyView.Chlorine is essential for the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals but poses significant safety and environmental risks. Herein, processes are presented that substitute chlorine or reduce its demand. Where indispensable, trichloride‐ and bichloride‐based ionic liquids could enhance safety and streamline the integration of renewable energy ...

A Possible Link Between Pyriproxyfen and Microcephaly [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The Zika virus is the primary suspect in the large increase in microcephaly cases in 2015-6 in Brazil, however its role is unconfirmed despite individual cases of viral infections found in neural tissue. Here we consider the alternative that the insecticide pyriproxyfen, used in Brazilian drinking water for mosquito control, may actually be the cause ...

The temperature affects the impact levels of synthetic insecticides on a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of pentatomid pests in soybean crops [PDF]
arXivThe impact of climate change has led to growing global concern about the interaction of temperature and xenobiotics in agricultural toxicological studies. Thus, for the first time, we evaluated the lethal, sublethal and transgerational effects of six insecticides used in the management of stink bug complex in soybean crops on the different life stages ...

Predatory dynamics in susceptible and resistant $\textit{Eriopis connexa}$ populations [PDF]
arXivThe ladybird $\textit{Eriopis connexa}$ (Germar, 1824), a voracious aphid predator, faces challenges from insecticide applications, compromising biological control. As a result, there has been an increase in the number of studies analysing the resistance and susceptibility of ladybirds.

The Case for Pyriproxyfen as a Potential Cause for Microcephaly; From Biology to Epidemiology [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The Zika virus has been found in individual cases but has not been confirmed as the cause of in the large number of cases of microcephaly in Brazil in 2015-6. Indeed, disparities between the incidence of Zika and microcephaly across geographic locations has led to questions about the virus's role.
