O sistema de cultivo do feijoeiro comum, no Estado do Acre, é típico de pequenos agricultores, o uso de insumos e máquinas é mínimo e toda mão-de-obra do processo produtivo é familiar. As áreas de cultivo dificilmente ultrapassam 5 ha, a produtividade é baixa e o excedente da produção é comercializado exclusivamente no mercado estadual. Esta cultura é a principal fonte de proteínas disponível por todo o ano nas pequenas propriedades, demonstrando importância nutricional e social para as famílias de baixa renda. As variedades de maior preferência dos agricultores e consumidores locais são o feijão Carioca Comum e o Rosinha de porte determinado. Entretanto, os materiais utilizados têm sido severamente prejudicados pela incidência da "mela" (Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk). Estudos têm sido realizados no sentido de controlar ou minimizar esta doença, no entanto, até o momento não foi obtido um controle efetivo. A adoção de práticas culturais, como a cobertura do solo com restos culturais, diminui bastante os prejuízos, entretanto, esta prática por si só, não resolve o problema. A Embrapa Acre, desde a sua implantação, vem desenvolvendo trabalhos de introdução e avaliação de genótipos de feijão, visando a seleção e recomendação de materiais com características que superem os problemas da baixa produtividade e resistência à meia na região, bem como atender às exigências do mercado local, principalmente no que se refere ao tipo de grão. A introdução de genótipos, embora seja de fundamental importância para programas de melhoramento, nem sempre proporciona resultados imediatos e de interesse para a região, tendo em vista, principalmente, problemas de adaptação às novas condições edafoclimáticas.

In an attempt to provide an analytical entry point into my compositional practice, I have identified eight themes which are significantly recurrent: reduction – the selection of a small number of elements; imperfection – a damaged or warped characteristic of sound; hierarchy – a concern with the roles of instruments with regard to their relative prominence; motion – apparently static sound masses consist of fine internal movement; listener perception – expectations for change influence the experience of affect; translation – the transitioning of electronic sounds to the acoustic realm, and vice versa; immersion – the creation of an accommodating soundscape; blurring – smearing and overlapping sounds or genres. Each of these eight factors is associated with relevant precedents in the history and theory of music that have been influential on my work. These include the minimalist compositions of Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt; the lo-fi aesthetic of Boards of Canada and My Bloody Valentine; concerns with political hierarchy in the work of Louis Andriessen; the variations of dynamics and microtonal shifts of Giacinto Scelsi; Leonard B. Meyer's account of expectation in music; cross-fertilisation of the acoustic and electronic in pieces by Gérard Grisey and Gyorgy Ligeti; the immersive technique of Brian Eno's ambient music; and the overlapping sounds of Aphex Twin. These eight factors are variously applicable to the eleven submitted pieces, which are individually analysed with reference to the most significant of the categories. Together they form a musical language that sustains the interaction of a variety of techniques, concepts and genres.

A growing number of software development projects successfully exhibit a mix of agile and traditional software development methodologies. Many of these mixed methodologies are organization specific and tailored to a specific project. Our objective in this research-in-progress paper is to develop an artifact that can guide the development of such a mixed methodology. Using control theory, we design a process model that provides theoretical guidance to build a portfolio of controls that can support the development of a mixed methodology for software development. Controls, embedded in methods, provide a generalizable and adaptable framework for project managers to develop their mixed methodology specific to the demands of the project. A research methodology is proposed to test the model. Finally, future directions and contributions are discussed.

Genes, species and ecosystems are often considered to be assets. The need to ensure a sufficient diversity of this asset is being increasingly recognised today. Asset managers in banks and insurance companies face a similar challenge. They are asked to manage the assets of their investors by constructing efficient portfolios. They deliberately make use of a phenomenon observed in the formation of portfolios: returns are additive, while risks diversify. This phenomenon and its implications are at the heart of portfolio theory. Portfolio theory, like few other economic theories, has dramatically transformed the practical work of banks and insurance companies. Before portfolio theory was developed about 50 years ago, asset managers were confronted with a situation similar to the situation the research on biodiversity faces today. While the need for diversification was generally accepted, a concept that linked risk and return on a portfolio level and showed the value of diversification was missing. Portfolio theory has closed this gap. This article first explains the fundamentals of portfolio theory and transfers it to biodiversity. A large part of this article is then dedicated to some of the implications portfolio theory has for the valuation and management of biodiversity. The last section introduces three development openings for further research.
