Among the cereal grains, winter rye has one of the fastest growth rates, quickly moving from the vegetative stage to stem elongation and head emergence in the blink of an eye. That impressive growth rate makes winter rye difficult to manage if the goal is to harvest for high-quality forage, said James Rogers, North Dakota State University-Extension forage-crops production specialist.

When cancer patients are treated with radiation, it's possible that the therapy itself may cause new tumors to form in the body later. Radiation kills cancer cells by damaging their DNA, but if the treatments cause genetic damage to normal cells near the radiation target, there's a small risk that these secondary malignancies may arise over time.

Most people experience occasional musculoskeletal pain, which is pain in the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. For instance, you may get sore muscles or achy joints after exercising or doing yard work. The pain usually goes away after you rest or take an over-the-counter pain medication. But when is pain a sign of trouble?

AI
The term “artificial intelligence” was coined more than 60 years ago, but only recently have we begun to realize all the benefits of AI, machine learning and deep learning in our everyday lives. Most of us already use smart machines that learn, recognize voices, make decisions, solve problems and make recommendations on everything from the routes we drive, to the movies we watch, to the clothes we buy.

Although there is no uniformly agreed upon definition, AI generally is thought to refer to “machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for contemplation, judgment and intention.”3 According to researchers Shubhendu and Vijay, these software systems “make decisions which normally require [a] human level of expertise” and help people anticipate problems or deal with issues as they come up.4 As such, they operate in an intentional, intelligent, and adaptive manner.

Over 50 years ago, while the general public’s attention was riveted on the space race, agriculture was fixated on a horsepower marathon. Farmers, hungry for larger tractors, not only demanded bigger engines but also yearned for related technological advances in transmissions and hydraulics as well as creature comforts such as quieter air-conditioned cabs.

Year after year, more than 75 percent of Pakistan’s exports are found to be based on agriculture. Pakistan’s export mix has lamentably remained the same for more than a couple of decades. Textiles have dominated, followed by rice, fruits, leather goods, etc. For every extra dollar of cotton produced at the farm gate, there is at least three dollars and fifty cents of textile products exported by Pakistan. This multiplier is even higher for shirts, t-shirts, socks, etc., compared to bed linen and towels.

The richest resource for arable farmers is soil. But large harvesters damage and compact soil, and overuse of agrichemicals such as nitrogen fertilizer are bad for both the environment and a farmer's bottom line. Robotics and autonomous machines could help.

This spring, hype has been swirling around two AI-powered gadgets: the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1. Both promised AI automation and seamless conversation with an ever-present, always-helpful AI assistant. They failed. Prominent tech reviewer Marques Brownlee called the Humane AI Pin the “worst product I’ve ever reviewed,” while the Rabbit R1 received the somewhat kinder verdict of “barely reviewable.”
