Although the use of acaricides is the main strategy for controlling infestations of R. microplus, researchers have been investigating vaccines as a promising alternative, as they offer several advantages, such as preventing the selection of drug-resistant tick populations and reducing the presence of acaricide residues in milk, meat, and the environment. … Read More →
It is now possible to develop an accessible passenger cabin for people with physical and sensory disabilities
The difficulties faced by passengers with reduced mobility or sensory losses cause people with disabilities to forgo air travel. By mapping these users’ needs and based on technologies already available in the aviation industry, Brazilian researchers demonstrate that airlines can develop an accessible cabin. … Read More →
An Analysis of the Epistemological Foundations of Machine Learning
Outlined here is a critical review of the logical-epistemic foundations of machine learning, focusing on the limitation of AI systems’ autonomy in generating knowledge. It contrasts this possibility with the theoretical constraints posed by Chaitin’s incompleteness theorem, which argues that AI cannot surpass human cognitive capacity. … Read More →
Barnyardgrass resistance to herbicides demands new agricultural strategies
A recent evaluation of the occurrence of cross-resistance in barnyardgrass biotypes from the main rice-growing regions of Santa Catarina state to ACCase inhibitors detected a biotype of Echinochloa crus-galli with multiple resistance to the herbicides quinclorac (cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor), penoxsulam (ALS inhibitor) and cyhalofop-butyl (ACCase inhibitor). … Read More →
