This volume brings together the proceedings of a conference held at the Institut Europeen d' Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) at Fontainebleau on July 5 6 and 7 1982. Summer conferences abound in the Paris region. That it was possible to attract an imposing international cast of economists within walking distance of the historic castle of Fontainebleau and one hour away from central Paris by car during the month of July is nothing especially surprising. But in this case there was a particular motivation for choosing the French site. | The French Economy Theory And Policy

Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems Science Technology and Infrastructure

Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems Science Technology and Infrastructure

Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems: Science Technology and Infrastructure explains the fundamental components of insect rearing: 1) the rearing systems per se 2) personnel 3) education of rearing personnel 4) communication of procedures 5) an in-depth look at silkworm rearing 5) facilities where rearing is conducted and 6) funding for all these components. Insect rearing serves a wide array of purposes including research pest control by sterile insect technique and biological control production of insects as food for other animals conservation education and even far-reaching technology where insects are used to produce products such as pharmaceutical materials and strong multipurpose textiles. This book surveys and analyzes insect rearing from a scientific and technology-based approach. At its foundation this approach assumes that rearing systems are complex interactions of components that can be understood and controlled by using a mechanistic approach. Author Allen Carson Cohen explains the infrastructure of rearing systems their current status and character and what kind of changes can be made to improve the field of insect rearing. Two Appendices republish out-of-print monographs that provide fascinating historical context to the development of the insect-rearing systems we have today. | Design Operation and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems Science Technology and Infrastructure

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Plants are autotrophs and sessile while animals are heterotrophs and motile. Sessility has imposed on plants 94% hermaphroditism 23% selfing 3% polyploidization and 39% clonality in comparison to < 5% herma-phroditism < 1% selfing and 2% clonality in motile animals. Whereas plants consist of 374 000 species but 1 664 variety/species animals comprise 1 543 196 species and 210 variety/species. Hence plants have undergone variety diversity while animals have species diversity. In animals and plants the species ratio is reduced from 4. 1 animals : 1. 0 plant to 1. 4 for pollinating animals : 1. 0 pollinated plants. In pollination animals are benefited dietarily but plants are cross pollinated generating new gene combinations – the raw material for evolution and speciation. For the reduced species diversity in plants reasons are traced to 90% hermaphroditism ~ 23% selfing and 39% clonality. Clonality decreases from 100% in 6-7 tissue typed sponges and 3 tissue typed algae drastically to 0. 7% in 60 tissue typed worms but gradually to ~ 23% in 60 tissued typed angiosperms. About 12-15 5-8 and 77-80% of all animal and plant species are distributed in marine freshwater and terrestrial habitats respectively. Animals have conserved the ‘right’ sequence of gametogenesis but plants have gone through a ‘wrong’ sequence prior to settling with right one albeit with double fertilization in angiosperms. Both animals and plants are 80% male heterogametics. Only 0. 5% of them can afford semelparity. While 20 and 57% angiosperms are perennial trees and herbs annual herbs make up 23% only. In all of them 85 > 19 and < 1% are pollinated by fast flying animals wind and water respectively. Increasing pollen load enhances fruit- and seed-set. In contrast to animals the life cycle of plants is direct but complicated. Unlike animals plants have greatly contributed to weathering of rocks and the atmospheric gas composition during the geological past. From dormant spores and seeds of plants life can be restored after thousands of years. | Evolution and Speciation in Plants
