This paper deals with an innovative method to improve access to mathematics by blind students in an educational setting. It was designed and developed in the European project LAMBDA (Linear Access to Mathematics for Braille Device and Audio-synthesis). This system is made up of two main functional components: the LAMBDA code and the mathematical editor. The research project is funded by the European Union in the framework of the IST Programme. It started in 2002 and will end in 2006. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is general agreement among government agencies, research institutions, industry, grower organizations, and the public that there is a need to reduce reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides by acceleratmg efforts to incorporate ecologically sound technologies into agricultural pest-management programs. The development and implementation of pest control technology based on behavior-controlling chemicals, or semiochemicals, offers a unique opportunity to move in this direction. Semiochemicals are chemical messages that organisms use to communicate with each other. Among the semiochemicals, insect sex pheromones have probably recerved the most attention from the scientific, regulatory, and agricultural communities. Sex pheromones are chemical messages between individuals of the same species, which faciliate mating. By their nature, pheromones are highly specific and then use for insect control would not disrupt other biological interactions within a cropping system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
