The important contribution of rice to global food security requires an understanding of yield
gaps in rice-based farming systems. However, estimates of yield gaps are often …

Rodents present a major problem for food security in Asia where smallholder farming
families are particularly vulnerable. We review here recent developments in the biology and …

ONE of the pleasures of belonging to a collegiate court is the daily exchange of ideas—by
no means always related to the case in hand. This means, however, that I can seldom be …

Future rice systems must produce more grain while minimizing the negative environmental
impacts. A key question is how to orient agricultural research & development (R&D) …

Lunar Orbiter data make it possible to examine the distribution and relations of maria and
large circular basins over the entire Moon. The restricted distribution and age of the maria …

Southeast Asia is a major rice-producing region with a high level of internal consumption
and accounting for 40% of global rice exports. Limited land resources, climate change and …

We investigate the possibility of using icosahedral symmetry as a family symmetry group in
the lepton sector. The rotational icosahedral group, which is isomorphic to A 5, the …

At least 14 species of apple snail (Ampullariidae) have been released to water bodies
outside their native ranges; however, less than half of these species have become …

A bstract We construct models of leptons based on S 4 family symmetry combined with a
generalised CP symmetry H CP. We show how the flavon potential can spontaneously break …

Recent results from the Daya Bay and RENO reactor experiments have measured the
smallest lepton mixing angle and found it to have a value of θ13≈ 9°. This result presents a …
