Megalota ceratovalva

description: 14. Megalota ceratovalva Brown, new species  Figs. 14, 38
 Diagnosis. This is one of few species of Megalota that can be distinguished on the basis of facies alone. The forewing is mottled charcoal, with a small, narrow, irregular patch of gray iridescent scales extending from the tornus to the distal end of the discal cell, and an arched orange subapical patch bordered basally by a gray iridescent line. The male genitalia are easily recognized by a rounded, horn-shaped process near mid-valva representing the basal edge of the abruptly broadened mesal portion of valva, and an associated patch of setae from large sockets immediately below the horn, with the setae ca. 0.4–0.5 as long as the valva.
 Description. Head: Vertex mostly red brown with some dark brown; labial palpus creamy white basally, blackish brown distally. Thorax: Dorsum dark red brown and charcoal. Hind tibia in male with well-developed, bushy, pale gray sex scaling concealing creamy white hairpencil. Forewing length 5.7 mm (n = 1); forewing [somewhat rubbed] mottled charcoal and dark brown, ill-defined darker area near mid-costa representing costal remnant of median fascia; small, narrow, irregular patch of gray, slightly iridescent scales in subterminal area, extending from tornus to distal end of discal cell; arched, orange subapical patch bordered basally by gray, slightly iridescent line and costally by two pairs of white strigulae. Abdomen: Charcoal. Male genitalia (Fig. 38; 1 preparation examined) with tegumen obovate with small triangular expansion immediately ventrad of attachment with uncus; uncus comparatively narrow, each lobe kidney bean-shaped and their longitudinal axes subparallel, densely spined; socius extremely small, digitate, membranous, pendant; valva abruptly broadened near middle with rounded, horn-shaped truncation representing basal edge of expansion; a dense cluster of long spiniform setae immediately ventrad of truncation, with setae ca. 0.4–0.5 as long as valva; subbasal patch of setae ill-defined or absent; basal process of valva ca. 4 times as long as wide, elbowed slightly basad of middle on inner side, tip slightly swollen, with short spines. Phallus short, stout, slightly bent near middle, without external thorns; vesica with 4 short, slender cornuti. Female genitalia unknown.
 Holotype. Male, Venezuela, T. F. Amazonas, 29 km S Puerto Ayacucho, 17 Nov 1987, P. J. Spangler & R. A. Faitoute, collected in malaise trap (USNM), USNM slide 124,496.
 Etymology. The specific name comes from the Greek “cerato”, meaning horn, and refers to the hornshaped process from the middle of the valva.

description: We present model lightcurves which have been created in order to explain the orbital modulation observed in the radio emission of Cyg X-1. We invoke variable absorption by the stellar wind as the black hole jet orbits around the OB companion star and find that a very simple model is able to reproduce the amplitudes and frequency dependence of the observed lightcurves.

Does the concept of “resilience” offer new insights for effective policy-making? An analysis of its feasibility and practicability for flood risk management in the UK

description: The concept of resilience is increasingly applied to policy-making. However, despite its widespread use, resilience remains poorly defined, open to multiple interpretations, and challenging to translate into practical policy instruments. Three particularly problematic aspects of resilience concern its rigid conceptualisation of adaptation and learning, its de-politicised interpretation of participatory decision-making, and the ill-defined role and relevance of social vulnerability indicators. My research analyses these three aspects within the context of flood risk management in the UK, which is uniquely suited to studying the practicability of a cross-disciplinary concept like resilience, because it connects issues of natural resource management, social planning, and disaster management. First, I analyse two case studies of experimental pilot projects in natural flood management. Through studying project reports, and interviewing stakeholders involved in project implementation, I determine whether the theorised learning-by-doing method in resilience is reflected in experiences from real experimental projects. Secondly, I use one of these case studies to map out the political structure of local participatory bodies in flood management, and also conduct a small survey of local community groups. The purpose of this second study is to determine if collaborative methods can indeed lead to a knowledge-driven policy process as envisioned in resilience literature. Lastly, I use statistical analysis to compare a traditional flood management model and a socio-economic model. The aim of the statistical modelling is to determine whether socio-economic factors are indeed useful for informing flooding policy, and whether they offer new insights not already being used in modern flood management. I find that resilience gives insufficient consideration to the importance of political constraints and economic trade-offs in policy-making, and that evidence for the usefulness of socio-economic factors is inconclusive. Future work could focus on further refining the statistical modelling to pinpoint empirically verifiable indicators of resilience.

description: We present a dual formulation of the Cosserat theory of elasticity. In this theory a local element of an elastic body is described in terms of local displacement and local orientation. Upon the duality transformation these degrees of freedom map onto a coupled theory of a vector-valued one-form gauge field and an ordinary $U(1)$ gauge field. We discuss the degrees of freedom in the corresponding gauge theories, the defect matter and coupling to the curved space.

description: With a decade's perspective, the 1970's "Rural Renaissance" is looking more like an interlude than a harbinger of the future. The 1980's marked a return to the patterns of outmigration typical of rural America in this century. Employment rose (albeit slightly), but so did unemployment and poverty. Not all the rural indicators went up: real income and education declined. Enhanced rural linkages with national and global marketplaces may be the key to improving the rural situation.

description: We present a tensor-decomposition method to solve the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) in the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook approximation. The method represents the six-dimensional BTE as a set of six one-dimensional problems, which are solved with the alternating least-squares algorithm and the discrete Fourier transform at $N$ collocation points. We use this method to predict the equilibrium distribution (stead-state simulation) and a non-equilibrium distribution returning to the equilibrium (transient simulation). Our numerical experiments demonstrate $N \log N$ scaling. Unlike many BTE-specific numerical techniques, the numerical tensor-decomposition method we propose is a general technique that can be applied to other high-dimensional systems.

description: We propose a new reaction mechanism for the study of strange and charmed baryon productions. In this mechanism we consider the correlation of two quarks in baryons, so it can be called the two-quark process. As in the previously studied one-quark process, we find large production rates for charmed baryons in comparison with strange baryons. Moreover, the new mechanism causes the excitation of both the $ρ$ mode and the $λ$ mode. Using the wave functions for baryons from a quark model, we compute the production rates of various baryon states. We find that the production rates reflect the structure of the wave functions that imply the usefulness of the reactions for the study of baryon structures.

description: Flooding is a critical issue affecting many countries worldwide with severe consequences on the lives of their residents. In this paper, we conduct a case study of the flood management policies of India by evaluating their implementation in six Indian states that are affected by recurrent flooding every year. The states selected have major cities located near water bodies and have experienced flooding leading to deaths and displacement besides slowing down economic and community development. We evaluate how each of the states align their policies to the national level disaster management guidelines for flood management. We find that for policies established at the state level, implementation within the various regions can vary with some urban areas going beyond the state and national guidelines. We find that not all Indian states follow the established national guidelines, and this poses questions on the challenges on having uniform flood management policies for addressing a complex issue.

description: Porous polymer structures have a rich history of applications from insulation and impact absorption to superhydrophobic coatings, controlled drug release materials, biological scaffolds and photonic materials. Different approaches such as lithography, etching and direct templating were developed to produce porous polymers. There is still a huge development potential in the preparation techniques. In 1994 a self-organisation technique was reported to trap and self-organise condensed water droplets at a solution surface and then imprint their shape directly into a polymer film. This single-step direct templating method operates at ambient conditions and can be processed and controlled to form a wide range of porous structures and surface functionalities. However, there are significant manufacturing challenges that have prevented this technique from reaching the market. This research tackles this problem by combining top-down techniques for precise liquid deposition utilising inkjet printing technique with the same bottom-up self-assembly processes at micron-scale by ordering drops and encapsulating materials in drops to load functional materials into the porous structure directly. This research aims firstly at controlling and simplifying the system to understand the force balances and interfacial phenomena by observing the impact behaviour of droplets generated by inkjet printing onto organic solvent and polymer, with the aid of high-speed imaging systems. Secondly to deliver a new, simple and scalable engineering solution to translate this technique to the manufacturing of materials with controlled surface properties. Inkjet technique enables precise deposition of droplets onto substrates, with controlled volume, speed, and compatible with a wide range of materials by altering the type and dimensions of the printheads also the driving waveforms. Manipulating polymer viscosity is a new approach of regulating pore ordering and geometry. This research made a breakthrough in the porous polymer production, showing highly ordered structures, easy porosity design, biocompatible processing methods, and digitally controllable and programmable production. In addition, it is the first time obtaining highly ordered porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using droplets as templates. These porous PDMS have a huge potential in the applications of drug delivery device, biosensor, high-throughput screening, and flexible electronics.

description: James J. Gibson affirmed that an object in motion is perceived relative to a permanent background. Based on this assertion, we assessed the perceived direction of a horizontal line (target) as it moved relative to a fixed (illuminated dashed line), or changing background (flashing dashed line). The perception of the direction of the target from a stationary (target crossing the screen) or mobile (target remains in the center of the screen) perspective of observation was also assessed since it is unclear whether motion perception from these two perspectives is influenced by background permanency. Participants were asked to judge whether the target moved to the right or left. Results showed that under the stationary perspective, high percentages of correct judgments were obtained regardless of the type of background. Significantly, under a mobile view, participants were more likely to judge the direction of the line correctly when it moved relative to a fixed rather than a changing background. Finally, response latency decreased with greater exposure to the task, indicating an effect of experience. Our results suggest that a permanent environment provides fixed frames of reference in relation to which the direction of a moving target is perceived under stationary and mobile views.

description: Social responses to innovations have varied across time. Regulations have been used in an attempt to limit the uptake of innovations (e.g. coffee), violence has been used (e.g. Luddites), experts have tried to convince individuals that an innovation is dangerous to their health (e.g. train travel) and courts have been used to attempt to control or reduce the market share of an innovation (e.g. Microsoft). In the case of agricultural biotechnology, all of these responses have been employed to varying degrees of success: regulations have been put in place in numerous countries that ban the production of genetically modified (GM) crops; violence has been a tool of NGOs opposed to GM crops as they have destroyed field trials; experts have argued in select instances that the consumption of food products derived from GM crops are dangerous to human health; and those opposed to GM crops in the United States are using the courts to seek injunctions against commercial release of new GM varieties and to argue that regulatory protocols were not properly followed. The most common responses by far, and the focus of this paper, is the employment of regulations and the use of courts. The concept of economic loss in relation to innovation posits that those negatively impacted by the innovation of GM crops are entitled to compensation that offsets the externality. For example, Denmark has established a compensation fund that taxes GM crop adopters, creating a revenue pool to compensate those farmers adversely impacted by the adoption of GM crops in Denmark. In undertaking a thorough assessment of applying economic loss to GM crops, this paper will evaluate the efficiencies of having compensation funded via government efforts versus the use of the court system. The paper will compare and contrast the situation in Australia, Canada and the United States.

description: Background: The interest in generating “synthetic computed tomography (CT) images” from magnetic resonance (MR) images has been increasing over the past years due to advances in MR guidance for radiotherapy. A variety of methods for synthetic CT creation have been developed, from simple bulk density assignment to complex machine learning algorithms. Material and methods: In this study, we present a general method to determine simplistic synthetic CTs and evaluate them according to their dosimetric accuracy. It separates the requirements on the MR image and the associated calculation effort to generate a synthetic CT. To evaluate the significance of the dosimetric accuracy under realistic conditions, clinically common uncertainties including position shifts and Hounsfield lookup table (HLUT) errors were simulated. To illustrate our approach, we first translated CT images from a test set of six pelvic cancer patients to relative electron density (ED) via a clinical HLUT. For each patient, seven simplified ED images (simED) were generated at different levels of complexity, ranging from one to four tissue classes. Then, dose distributions optimised on the reference ED image and the simEDs were compared to each other in terms of gamma pass rates (2 mm/2% criteria) and dose volume metrics. Results: For our test set, best results were obtained for simEDs with four tissue classes representing fat, soft tissue, air, and bone. For this simED, gamma pass rates of 99.95% (range: 99.72–100%) were achieved. The decrease in accuracy from ED simplification was smaller in this case than the influence of the uncertainty scenarios on the reference image, both for gamma pass rates and dose volume metrics. Conclusions: The presented workflow helps to determine the required complexity of synthetic CTs with respect to their dosimetric accuracy. The investigated cases showed potential simplifications, based on which the synthetic CT generation could be faster and more reproducible.

description: Magnetism and superconductivity of new heavy fermion compounds CeTIn$_5$ (T=Co, Rh and Ir) are investigated by applying fluctuation exchange approximation to an orbital degenerate Hubbard model. The superconducting phase with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-symmetry is found to appear next to the antiferromagnetic phase with increasing the orbital splitting energy. The present theory suggests that the orbital splitting energy plays a key role of controlling parameter for the quantum phase transitions in the heavy fermion system.

description: Initiation devices used in mining have strict requirements for safety and efficiency. However, the analysis of their operation is encumbered by their complex design which involves multiple explosive charges and inert materials. We use numerical simulations to study detonation in configurations involving complex geometry and multiple materials with the aim of revealing key features of their internal processes and improving their reliability and performance. The mathematical model is based on a two-phase reactive formulation and is extended with porosity and shock desensitization models. It is coupled with appropriate inert material models for fluids and solids to accurately capture their interaction with the detonation wave. We initially consider detonation propagation in annular charges. The model and implementation are validated against experimental data for steady state propagation. Then, the numerical solution is used to obtain a detailed description of the speed of the detonation wave along the annular arc and a new description of the transition phase is proposed. Further, a parametric study is performed in which the dependence of the transition phase and steady state on the dimensions of the annulus is analysed. The rest of the thesis examines detonation in explosive devices used in the initiation of tertiary explosives in mining. First, we consider the response of a detonator in isolation, guided by an underwater explosion test. Following validation, the strength of the blast wave is examined at several distances from the detonator. Results show that the blast wave in the near field is asymmetric and stronger along the axis of the detonator. Further, the near field blast wave varies considerably between detonators of different shell material and thickness while the pulse in the far field is similar. This indicates that the fine differences between detonators cannot be captured by tests that consider the blast wave at a single point in the far field. Lastly, we study the complete configuration used to initiate explosives in mining blastholes which involves a detonator and a booster. The reactive model is extended to account for shock desensitization. The model is validated and a series of simulations of the detonator and booster configuration, with and without desensitization, are performed. These show that the influence of desensitization is significant and can lead to the formation of dead zones in the explosive which have a critical impact on booster performance. Depending on the material of the detonator shell, the initiation of the booster can result in only a small non-reacted region or in an extensive desensitized zone which prevents the detonation of a large portion of the explosive.

description: World oilseed trade consists of many closely substitutable commodities, with canola and cotton seed as possible alternatives to soyabeans for many purposes. Transgenic events in all three crops have been widely adopted, particularly in North and South America, for compelling economic or agronomic reasons. Despite the close attention from organisations concerned about the potential environmental consequences of transgenic crop adoption, no evidence of permanent disruption of ecosystems has been substantiated. No transgenic canola, cotton or soyabean crops are permitted for commercial cultivation in Europe, and although some transgenic feed resources are permitted for import, importers are at severe risk of shipments being denied entry if the slightest trace of an unauthorised transgenic crop is detected in a non-transgenic shipment. This means that livestock farmers in the EU can be disadvantaged due to restricted access or higher feed costs thus losing a degree of competitive advantage. In this paper the extent to which transgenic soyabeans have become a major component of livestock nutrition worldwide is examined. The future trends in prices for EU imports of soyabeans and soyabean oil in the light of further transgenic soyabean events now being introduced are assessed, and the effect on import prices of demand for soyabean oil for conversion to biodiesel is discussed.

description: Background: Dosimetric effects of inaccuracies of output factors (OFs) implemented in treatment planning systems (TPSs) were investigated. Materials and methods: Modified beam models (MBM) for which the OFs of small fields (down to 1 × 1 cm2) were increased by up to 12% compared to the original beam models (OBM) were created for two TPSs. These beam models were used to recalculate treatment plans of different complexity. Treatment plans using stereotactic 3D-conformal (s3D-CRT) for brain metastasis as well as VMAT plans for head and neck and prostate cancer patients were generated. Dose distributions calculated with the MBM and the OBM were compared to measured dose distributions acquired using film dosimetry and a 2D-detector-array. For the s3D-CRT plans the calculated and measured dose at the isocenter was evaluated. For VMAT, gamma pass rates (GPRs) were calculated using global gamma index with 3%/3 mm, 2%/3 mm, 1%/3 mm and 2%/2 mm with a 20% threshold. Contribution of small fields to the total fluence was expressed as the ratio (F) of fluence trough leaf openings smaller than 2 cm to the total fluence. Results: Using film dosimetry for the s3D-CRT plans, the average of the ratio of calculated dose to measured dose at the isocenter was 1.01 and 1.06 for the OBM and MBM model, respectively. A significantly lower GPR of the MBM compared to the OBM was only found for the localized prostate cases (F = 12.4%) measured with the 2D-detector-array and an acceptance criterion of 1%/3 mm. Conclusion: The effects of uncertainties in small field OFs implemented in TPSs are most pronounced for s3D-CRT cases and can be clearly identified using patient specific quality assurance. For VMAT these effects mainly remain undetected using standard patient specific quality assurance. Using tighter acceptance criteria combined with an analysis of the fluence generated by small fields can help identifying inaccuracies of OFs implemented in TPSs.
'Não são tijolos; são histórias': The Favela Housing Rights Movement of Rio de Janeiro

Forced Eviction

description: My doctoral research consisted of fourteen months of fieldwork following anti-eviction activity within informal settlements called favelas on public land in Rio de Janeiro. In the dissertation, I make a series of arguments. The first is that despite a lack of scholarly attention post-2016 Olympics, Rio is experiencing its own favela housing rights movement, land rights, and government investment in upgrading projects that deserves academic attention. Implied in the term is a concomitant fight for land rights—both of which are needed to avoid eviction. Secondly, I explain how government officials and others antagonistic to favela housing rights use environmentalist discourse to justify evictions of informal settlements—charging them with being ‘invaders’ that spoil the natural habitat of the city. In response, favela residents have re-appropriated the discourse of environmentalism to position and re-brand themselves as conservationists instead of ‘invaders’ as one of two alternative strategies to avoid eviction. Thirdly, and regarding the second alternative anti-eviction strategy, I explain how those against favela housing rights view favelas as places without culture or history that do not need to be saved from eviction. To subvert this narrative, residents have created favela museums and initiated tourism enterprises to prove that their communities have cultures and histories that are worth preserving. The fourth and fifth arguments correspond to the gender, class, and racial implications of these alternative strategies as interpreted through emotional politics. I argue that women (the predominant demographic in the movement) feel they must justify their leadership positions and participation in the movement by engaging in what I call performative vulnerability. Lastly, I explain how residents interpret the common justifications for favela removal (i.e. environmental destruction, favelas as places without history) as being truly about classism, and to a lesser extent racism. I contend that the general lack of awareness about the role of racism in favela evictions stems from the lingering ambivalence towards racial categorisation and the false belief that Afro-descendants do not face discrimination. This research engages with academic debates on the forced eviction of informal settlements, housing rights versus environmental rights, identity politics, and contributes to the literature on urban land and housing movements.

description: The development of novel bioconjugation strategies for the functionalisation of polypeptides and proteins has been of great benefit to the fields of chemical biology and medicine. Selective protein functionalisation has enabled the development of technologies such as targeted drug delivery, enzyme activity profiling and imaging of cells in vivo. Many strategies for bioconjugation target the nucleophilic side chains of the amino acids cysteine and lysine. However, many strategies remain sequence specific and some require pre-installation of recognition units to achieve high selectivity. Due to the low natural abundance and ancillary protein function of methionine, selective functionalisation of this amino acid presents an opportunity to develop a strategy complementary to current technologies. Strategies targeting methionine remain under-explored, with few truly biocompatible methods reported to date. This thesis describes the development of a novel bioconjugation method employing hypervalent iodine reagents for the selective functionalisation of methionine residues. The broad scope and excellent biocompatibility of the reaction is demonstrated, with a number of different polypeptide and protein substrates tolerated. Additionally, through the synthesis of different hypervalent iodine reagents, varying the ester group of the iodonium salt (R), a number of different payloads can be transferred to polypeptides and proteins. The highly reactive diazo group which is introduced using this methodology can be exploited in subsequent bioorthogonal transformations. Firstly, phosphine reagents can be employed for the cleavage of the methionine label, in a stimuli-responsive reversal of the conjugation. Secondly, a visible light-mediated reduction was developed, forming trialkylsulfonium products which exhibited improved stability. Finally, a C-benzylation has been developed using photoredox catalysis to enable functionalisation of this diazo moiety. The methionine bioconjugation strategy has also been used in tandem with a literature procedure for the functionalisation of tryptophan residues. Through the combination of two bioconjugation techniques, a simultaneous dual functionalisation of polypeptides has been developed, forming dually- or triply-functionalised scaffolds in a single step from native polypeptides.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Edge-Localized-Mode (ELM) suppression by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) generally occurs over very narrow ranges of the plasma current (or magnetic safety factor q95) in the DIII-D tokamak. However, wide q95 ranges of ELM suppression are needed for the safety and operational flexibility of ITER and future reactors. In DIII-D ITER Similar Shape (ISS) plasmas with n=3 RMPs, the range of q95 for ELM suppression is found to increase with decreasing electron density. Nonlinear two-fluid MHD simulations reproduce the observed q95 windows of ELM suppression and the dependence on plasma density, based on the conditions for resonant field penetration at the top of the pedestal. When the RMP amplitude is close to the threshold for resonant field penetration, only narrow isolated magnetic islands form near the top of the pedestal, leading to narrow q95 windows of ELM suppression. However, as the threshold for field penetration decreases with decreasing density, resonant field penetration can take place over a wider range of q95. For sufficiently low density (penetration threshold) multiple magnetic islands form near the top of the pedestal giving rise to continuous q95 windows of ELM suppression. The model predicts that wide q95 windows of ELM suppression can be achieved at substantially higher pedestal pressure in DIII-D by shifting to higher toroidal mode number (n=4) RMPs.

description: We formulate Hamiltonian vector-like lattice gauge theory using the overlap formula for the spatial fermionic part, $H_f$. We define a chiral charge, $Q_5$ which commutes with $H_f$, but not with the electric field term. There is an interesting relation between the chiral charge and the fermion energy with consequences for chiral anomalies.

description: A series of amide derivatives of azaindole-oxazoles (11a-n) were designed and synthesized and their structures were confirmed by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectral analysis. Further, these derivatives were screened for their anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines viz; MCF7 (breast), A549 (lung) and A375 (melanoma). In vitro anticancer activity screening indicated that most of the hybrids exhibited potent inhibitory activities in a variety of cancer cell lines. Among the compounds 11d, 11e, 11f, 11j, 11k, 11l, 11m, and 11n were exhibited more potent activity than standard, in those mainly two compounds 11m and 11j were exhibited excellent activity in MCF-7 cell line with IC50 values 0.034 and 0.036 µM. Moreover, all these compounds were carried out their molecular docking studies on EGFR receptor results indicated that two potent compounds 11m and 11j were strongly binds to protein EGFR (PDB ID: 4hjo). It was found that the energy calculations were in good agreement with the observed IC50 values.

description: Unprecedented rates of diffusion and adoption of Bt cotton have demonstrated escalating predominance of Bt. Cotton hybrids as they ensured opportunity for double cropping, 34 - 63 per cent higher yield, about 142 per cent higher income, reduction in pesticide usage from 4 – 12 to 2-4 sprays (though for last two years due to higher incidence of sucking pests and mealy bug ,1-2 extra sprays are required), reduction in the incidence of pesticide-led health hazards from 4-6 cases per season per village to none to one and increased employment days for women during cotton picking. The farmers held positive perception about Bt. Cotton. Recommendations of Bt hybrids according to their suitability to agro-ecological conditions; standardization and dissemination of agro-techniques; development of communication content and dissemination of extension literature related to Bt cotton cultivation should be stressed for effective utilization of the technology.

description: World agriculture faces enormous challenges in the coming decades. To feed the world adequately in 2050, agricultural production in developing economies will need to nearly double. Incremental production will mainly come from increases in yields or cropping intensities. This paper focuses on the potential of genetically modified (GM) crops to contribute to agricultural productivity growth and poverty reduction in developing economies. Based on a comprehensive literature review, we aim to shed light on whether GM crops benefit farmers and are able to address their current and future needs. The first part reviews farmlevel impacts of GM crops in developing economies. The second part discusses the GM crop research pipeline. GM crop markets are expected to grow in the future, but not to change dramatically. We conclude that GM crops benefited farmers, including resource-poor farmers, in developing economies, but benefits are location and individual-specific. Addressing such complexities will be required to unlock technology potentials.
