Maize was domesticated from teosinte in Mexico some 7,000 to 10,000 years ago and quickly spread through the Americas. It has become one of the most important crops at a local and global level. Two types, Northern Flint corn and Southern Dent corns provided the basis of the genetic background of modern maize hybrids. The development of hybrids, first double-cross and later single-cross hybrids, along with a transition to high input farming provided huge yield increases, which have continued to improve with improving technology. Increase in maize production also caused a rise in Western corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte). As maize cultivation increased it spread from Eastern Colorado into Nebraska in the 50’s, Indiana by the 70’s and the East coast by the 90’s, and even Europe in 1992. A broadcast soil application of organochlorine insecticides was a common control tactic beginning in the late 40s. By 1959 control failures were noted and resistance spread with the concurrent corn rootworm range expansion. Resistance spread into areas where organochlorine insecticides had never been used. New modes of action were adopted and, more importantly, new management practices reducing selective pressure. In 2003 Bt traits for rootworm control were released, but by 2009 resistance was documented. The Western corn rootworm has proven highly adaptable to control measures, including rotation. Many challenges face agriculture in the future including water use, soil degradation, pest and disease control issues, and stagnant yield potentials. Despite these challenges, a great deal of technological advances such as precision agriculture, improved molecular techniques, and better adoption and implementation of Integrated Pest Management will provide effective tools for addressing these challenges. Addressing the challenges of the future is not an issue of technology. Maize is more than a commodity; it has been and continues to be an essential part of our culture. The objective of this work is to illustrate that addressing the human dimension of these challenges will be crucial to addressing the current and future issues in agricultural production. Two separate examples of how this is being addressed are discussed.

This book talks about the history of Lattakia Governorate, and its exposition of the archaeological sites in it. The history of the governorate was written for the first time by the French occupation, which contains many shortcomings that make it inc omplete. The history written in this book includes the most important archaeological discoveries and brings together many Western studies. With regard to antiquities, we can say that it constitutes the first comprehensive study of the various archaeological sites in Lattakia Governorate.
Doumna : a term that is heard mostly, but majority of people have no idea about its literal meaning , when did it arise ? how and what are the reasons of its inception ? The term Doumna is originally derived from the Persian language , which means " two " , nma ( two types ) . Although their followers converted to Islam , they remained faithful to their Judaism secretly as religion , ideology and political thought. This search will illustrate who are the Jews of Doumna as a Zionist Jewish community that appeared in 1664 AD , due to the persecution and expulsion from Europe that they had faced during the reign of the king , Ferinand of Spain . In addition to their role in the Othoman Empire , starting with the appointment of the Othoman Sultans to their isolation . Also , their role in running the affairs of the country especially the financial ones because they were professionals and experts in the field of trade and banking . Finally , the Jewish of Doumna are the true founders of the Zionist movement and the idea of making Palestine a national homeland for them .

The copying mechanism has had considerable success in abstractive summarization, facilitating models to directly copy words from the input text to the output summary. Existing works mostly employ encoder-decoder attention, which applies copying at ea ch time step independently of the former ones. However, this may sometimes lead to incomplete copying. In this paper, we propose a novel copying scheme named Correlational Copying Network (CoCoNet) that enhances the standard copying mechanism by keeping track of the copying history. It thereby takes advantage of prior copying distributions and, at each time step, explicitly encourages the model to copy the input word that is relevant to the previously copied one. In addition, we strengthen CoCoNet through pre-training with suitable corpora that simulate the copying behaviors. Experimental results show that CoCoNet can copy more accurately and achieves new state-of-the-art performances on summarization benchmarks, including CNN/DailyMail for news summarization and SAMSum for dialogue summarization. The code and checkpoint will be publicly available.
This study was conducted at the field of the research station Sianow of General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research at Lattakia, to evaluate the susceptibility of 6 strains of maize ( IL.257-09(P1), IL.298-09(P2 ) , IL.286-09 (P3 ), IL. 255-09( P4), IL.262-09 (P5), IL.228-09 (P6 )), against the natural infestation by large corn stem borer , Sesamia cretica Led. They were Compared with control (Ghouta 82).because it is the most growing variety in Syria.
