Infographic factsheet: The World of Maize
MAIZE's strategy is to increase maize productivity, sustainability, and food security through three research strategies: 1) Sustainable intensification of maize-legume systems in Africa and South Asia, 2) Developing stress-resistant and nutritious maize varieties, and 3) Ensuring disadvantaged farmers have access to new technologies and markets. The program works with over 300 partners and aims to double maize productivity and improve livelihoods for millions of smallholder farmers.
Increasing maize productivity and varietal diversity in Pakistan
This document discusses CIMMYT's efforts to increase maize productivity and diversity in Pakistan through its Agricultural Innovation Program (AIP). It provides background on CIMMYT, outlines challenges in the Pakistani maize sector like lack of diversity, and describes AIP projects that have introduced over 680 new maize varieties for evaluation and increased seed of 137 parental lines. The AIP works with various Pakistani agricultural organizations and universities to trial varieties across the country. Preliminary results from 2014 spring trials show the top 10 performing white hybrids out of 40 tested varieties.
David Bergvinson Opening
This document provides an overview of ICRISAT, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. ICRISAT conducts research on crops that are important for nutrition and economics in dryland regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, including sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, chickpea, and pigeonpea. The research is organized into various regional and global programs focused on crop improvement, integrated crop management, and other areas. ICRISAT works with partners to scale innovations that benefit smallholder farmers through approaches like soil mapping, linking producers to markets, and facilitating agribusiness. The goal is to develop resilient and inclusive agrifood systems
Taat policy support retreat
The Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) program aims to accelerate agricultural transformation across Africa through increasing productivity. It targets 35 countries and focuses on scaling proven technologies to improve yields of priority crops like maize, wheat, rice and cassava. TAAT works within commodity value chains and agro-ecological zones, supporting the dissemination of high-yielding and stress-tolerant crop varieties, improved soil fertility practices, and mechanization technologies. The program provides policy support for technology adoption and expanding small-scale irrigation. Initial agreements to launch the program have been signed, with full implementation expected to begin in April 2018.
CIMMYT's activities to enhance productivity and promote excellence in Pakistan
1) CIMMYT has been conducting research on maize since the 1940s to develop high-yielding varieties that can withstand biotic and abiotic stresses.
2) Maize production in Pakistan has increased significantly in recent decades and is the highest yielding cereal crop, but challenges include limited new varieties developed and lack of climate-resilient or stress-tolerant varieties.
3) CIMMYT is working on various projects in Pakistan, including the AIP Maize project, to address challenges through new varieties, improved agronomic practices, and strengthening the seed system.
China wheat seeds needing more
Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops for human food and ranks second in global production behind maize. However, wheat seed enterprises consider it to be of secondary importance since wheat is a self-pollinating crop and farmers often replant seeds from their harvest. While significant progress has been made in developing hybrid wheat varieties in other countries, wheat seed commercialization rates remain low in China, where traditional farmer habits favor replanting saved seed. The Chinese wheat seed market is large but competitive, with room for growth through advanced breeding technologies that increase yield and market share. New entrants should have strong technical capabilities rather than just financial resources to succeed in this field.

India Maize Summit 2015 - Session 5
India is the sixth largest producer of maize in the world, contributing 2% of global production. Maize is the third most important crop in India after rice and wheat. Maize production is projected to increase significantly by 2030 to meet growing demand from industries like poultry and food processing. However, maize productivity in India is relatively low due to issues like drought, pest attacks, and inefficient fertilizer use. Improving soil testing, balanced fertilizer application, and adoption of new technologies can help boost maize yields and meet future demand.

Indian maize production is around 24 MMT annually and is growing 3-4% each year. However, 20% of the crop is lost after harvest due to improper drying and storage methods. Most Indian farmers still use sun drying, which results in uneven drying and degradation of quality. Improper storage at high moistures also leads to mold, aflatoxins, and spoilage. To reduce these post-harvest losses, India needs to establish mechanized mandis with silos, set up high-capacity mechanical dryers at mandi levels, and adopt bulk handling and storage logistics. This would fetch better prices for farmers while also improving the storage life and nutrition of maize.
Trends in Seed Industry
The document summarizes trends in the Indian seed industry. It notes that the industry has grown significantly in recent decades, with the private sector now accounting for 70% of the market. The industry has evolved from a primarily public sector model to one where foreign investment, imports of improved varieties, and private sector participation are encouraged. The future of the industry is focused on high-cost technology, value addition, genetically modified crops, increased awareness among farmers, and companies with strong research and intellectual property rights.
Turning India Self Reliant in Edible Oil - Retrospect and Prospect
- Hybrids have great potential to increase oilseed production by exploiting hybrid vigor, as seen with castor and sunflower hybrids. However, only a limited number of hybrids exist for other crops like mustard and safflower.
- India's average oilseed yield is about half the world average, and deviations from the national average are more often negative than positive. This huge yield gap and increasing demand mean India must import about 40% of its edible oil needs.
- Both public and private sectors need to step up hybrid development efforts by introducing diverse germplasm, developing stable male sterility systems, and collaborating in areas like disease resistance breeding. Sharing of materials between sectors could accelerate this process.

Water availability for dry season irrigation in the Anayariwatershed in Ghana
1) Farmers in the Anayari watershed region of Ghana could increase their resilience to climate change by expanding irrigation from the current 1,057 hectares to the full potential of 4,600 hectares.
2) Groundwater irrigation efficiencies need to be improved from the current 28-54% to over 70% to ensure long-term sustainability of groundwater resources.
3) Expanding irrigation to the full potential is estimated to reduce streamflow into a major dam by only 0.01%, which is considered insignificant.
Decision support tools for farm-level fertilizer recommendation in Ethiopia
This document summarizes research on developing decision support tools for farm-level fertilizer recommendations in Ethiopia. The research identified three types of crop responses to fertilizer based on 500 farmer fields: 1) foot slopes had very good crops that responded well to fertilizer, 2) midslopes had crops that did well and responded significantly to fertilizer, and 3) hillslopes generally had very bad crops regardless of high fertilizer application. The research aims to validate these models in other cropping systems and develop farmer-friendly recommendation tools through collaboration between researchers and the Ethiopian government.

This document summarizes two assessments conducted by Africa RISING on sustainable intensification and return on investment from 2011-2020. It finds that:
1) The total value of direct benefits to farmers was $74.6 million, while the total project cost was $15.9 million, resulting in a return on investment of 469%.
2) An assessment of progress towards sustainable intensification analyzed households by total production per hectare and compared indicators across five domains. It found that more intensified households showed improved scores in agricultural production, economics, environment, human welfare, and social indicators.
3) A focus on assessments at the woreda (district) level provided insights into differences between communities and guidance for
Nutrition assessment 2021
The document summarizes the results of a nutrition assessment study and lessons learned from it. The study aimed to identify how Africa RISING interventions contributed to household nutrition. It used a qualitative research approach with key informant interviews and focus group discussions in Ethiopia. The results showed that the interventions helped to produce and consume a more diverse and nutritious diet, generate income, and improve knowledge of food production and preparation. However, diet diversity remained low and certain nutrient-rich foods were still limited. Key lessons were that technical nutrition support needs frequent follow-ups, and engaging community leaders and husbands is important for influencing mothers' nutrition practices.
Scaling assessment 2021
The document discusses plans for scaling assessment of Africa RISING interventions. It notes that Africa RISING's second phase focused on scaling approaches through recruiting scaling partners, training of trainers, multi-stakeholder meetings, and research backstopping. The assessment aims to document scaling practices, identify areas for increased support, and develop an exit strategy as the program period concludes. It will use ILRI's scaling framework over six months to provide a technical report and scientific paper.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Farming systems analysis: what have we learnt?.pptx

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
