Entropic optimal transport is maximum-likelihood deconvolution [PDF]
We give a statistical interpretation of entropic optimal transport by showing that performing maximum-likelihood estimation for Gaussian deconvolution corresponds to calculating a projection with respect to the entropic optimal transport distance.

Occurrence pattern and morphological polymorphism of Chinese weedy rice
Rice, the main food crop in China, has been sporadically reported to suffer from weedy rice infestation. However, the overall occurrence and distribution pattern of Chinese weedy rice remains unclear because a systematic survey has not been conducted. In

A metaphor for epidemiology: The sea of person time
Metaphors have had an important role to play in the theory and practice of epidemiology. Some well-known examples include “black boxes,” the “web of causation,” “shoe-leather epidemiology,” the “ivory tower” and the ubiquitous “gold standard.” Metaphors ...

Background It is well known that legume and other crops such as pea, faba bean, lentil, chick pea, and several other crops are susceptible to Orobanche crenata (broomrape) infestation. There is a direct relationship between O.

Laser weeding of common weed species [PDF]
The massive use of herbicides since the 1950s has resulted in increasing problems with herbicideresistant weeds and pollution of the environment, including food, feed, and water. These side effects have resulted in political pressures to reduce herbicide application.

Weed occurrence in Finnish coastal regions: a survey of organically cropped spring cereals [PDF]
Weed communities of organically cropped spring cereal stands in the southern and the northwestern coastal regions of Finland (= south and northwest, respectively) were compared with respect to number of species, frequency of occurrence, density and dry ...

The commercialization of transgenic herbicide-resistant (HR) crops may cause gene flow risk. If a transgene in progenies of transgenic crops and wild relatives is silencing, these progenies should be killed by the target herbicide, thus, the gene flow ...
