Ambivalent sexism is a theoretical framework which posits that sexism has two sub-components: hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. Hostile sexism reflects overtly negative evaluations and stereotypes about a gender (e.g., the ideas that women are incompetent and inferior to men).
The Best Crops for Biofuel Production. Different crops are used for biofuel, including wheat, sunflower, soybean, and sugarcane. Biofuel production relies on energy crops grown in Europe, the U.S. and other places around the world. Alternative fuels are used to power vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Model evaluates where bioenergy crops grow best. Farmers interested in bioenergy crops now have a resource to help them determine which kind of bioenergy crop would grow best in their regions and what kind of harvest to expect. Researchers at the University of Illinois have published a study identifying yield zones for three major bioenergy crops.
