Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...

The Global Pesticide Complex: Infrastructure, Fragility and Frontiers of Agrarian Change

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although most pesticides have long been on the market, the political economy surrounding their production, regulation and use has undergone considerable change, spurring renewed interest in the social sciences. The global pesticide complex (GPC) is an analytical device to understand the multidimensional nature of these changes. In this special

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Genetic Architecture of Southern Stem Canker Resistance in Elite Southern Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Germplasm

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by the fungus Diaporthe aspalathi, is one of the major constraints to soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production in the southern United States and South America. Genetic resistance is the most effective strategy for managing SSC; however, the genetic architecture underlying resistance in elite southern ...

AI Alignment Versus AI Ethical Treatment: 10 Challenges

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A morally acceptable course of AI development should avoid two dangers: creating unaligned AI systems that pose a threat to humanity and mistreating AI systems that merit moral consideration in their own right. This paper argues these two dangers interact and that if we create AI systems that merit moral consideration, simultaneously avoiding ...

ECONOMICS OF VARIABLE RATE NEMATICIDE FOR SUGAR BEETS [PDF]

The benefit of applying fumigant for control of the sugar beet nematode on a variable versus uniform rate basis is examined. Compared to fumigating an entire filed at a constant full-label rate, varialbe rate application provides a savings ranging from ...

Photoprotective potential of gadusol against ultraviolet B radiation in melanocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Gadusol protects melanocytes from ultraviolet B (UVB)‐induced damage without cytotoxicity. Abstract The increasing incidence of skin cancer, including melanoma, combined with the need for ultraviolet (UV) filters that are safe for human health and marine ecosystems, is driving the search for new photoprotective agents.
