Economic Benefits of Using Sterile Insect Technique and Mating Disruption to Control Codling Moth
Journal of Agricultural Science, 2015 In the Okanagan/Similkameen region, the tree fruit industry value chain forms a significant part of the Agricultural Products Cluster. In 2011, 8677 acres of apples comprised 38% of the total horticulture land base. The remaining acreage was planted primarily to sweet cherries (3500 acres) and wine grapes (8100 acres).

Sterile Neutrino Production Through a Matter Effect Enhancement at Long Baselines [PDF]
Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 28, 1350067 (2013), 2011 If sterile neutrinos have a neutral coupling to standard model fermions, matter effect resonant transitions to sterile neutrinos and excess neutral-current events could manifest at long baseline experiments. Assuming a single sterile neutrino with a neutral coupling to fermionic matter, we re-examine bounds on sterile neutrino production at long ...

The economics of race and eugenic sterilization in North Carolina: 1958–1968
Economics & Human Biology, 2010 Theoretical justifications for state-sanctioned sterilization of individuals provided by Irving Fisher rationalized its racialization on grounds that certain non-white racial groups, particularly blacks due to their dysgenic biological and behavioral traits, retarded economic growth and should be bred out of existence.
