Agroup of researchers at stanford university developed software that can be used to distribute the processing of data to anyone who is willing to donate time on their idle personal computers. as a result, the researchers have been able to achieve protein-folding simulations that are far better than those other computing methods have done. which statement best describes the work of these researchers? the work is not scientific because the data are not processed in one location. the work is not scientific because the simulations are not reproducible. the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment. the researchers used only well-established scientific techniques.

Option B, The work is not scientific because the simulations are not reproducible

Explanation:

The scientists have collected the data in a scientific manner , in fact they have done the entire research work scientifically , the only issue with their practice is that they distributed the work of data processing to people who were sitting idle (with no background of research) and that too on their personal computer.

Thus, it becomes an exercise which can not be reproduced again.

Hence, option B is correct

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.
