A novel approach to stochastic input-output modeling
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/103474
Abstract
An approach to input-output modeling is proposed in which the inner consumption and the final demand are random. The main aspects of its novelty are: (a) the economy is allowed to be nonproductive with a certain probability ϰ ∈ [0,1); (b) the economy can be open, which means that import of the corresponding commodities is included in the model. In this approach, the…

Abstract
Scientific innovation is increasingly reliant on data and computational resources. Much of today’s life science research involves generating, processing, and reusing heterogeneous datasets that are growing exponentially in size. Demand for technical experts (data scientists and bioinformaticians) to process these data is at an all-time high, but…

Abstract
Les banques de gènes sont les entrepôts des resources phytogénétiques, qui fournissent le matériel brut pour l'amélioration des plantes cultivées. Elles jouent un rôle clé en contribuant au développement durable de l'agriculture, en aidant à augmenter la production alimentaire et en surmontant ainsi la faim et la pauvreté. La résistance inhérente aux…

Effects of In Vitro Polyploidization on Agronomic Characteristics and Fruit Carotenoid Content; Implications for Banana Genetic Improvement
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
Abstract
Bananas (Musa spp.), native to South East Asia, have spread worldwide and are integrated into the diets of millions of people in tropical regions. Carotenoid content varies dramatically between different banana genotypes, providing an opportunity for vitamin A biofortification. Polyploidization is a useful tool for crop improvement…
