Gutierrez, Andrew Paul – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2005
Transgenic insecticidal Bt crops are being increasingly used worldwide, and concern is increasing about resistance and their effects on nontarget organisms. The toxin acts as a weak pesticide and, hence, the effects are subtler than those of chemical biocides. However, the toxin is ever present, but concentrations vary with age of plant and plant…

Khan, Murad Moosa; Hyder, Adnan Ali – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2006
There are no official data on suicide from Pakistan, a conservative South Asian Islamic country with traditionally low suicide rates.

In this study, police…
