Soil-water characteristic curves were determined for Krome calcareous very gravelly loam soil in the laboratory and in situ in an orchard. In the laboratory, soil-water retention was determined with a pressure plate and pressure Tempe cells for soil collected from vegetable fields. In the orchard, soil-water suction measured with tensiometers was compared to volumetric soil-water content (E) de...

Willa Cather's 1913 novel, O Pioneers! concludes with an unexpected moment of extreme violence as two young lovers, Emil Bergson and Marie Shabata, are murdered by Marie's husband in a mulberry orchard. Cather's novel is almost wholly devoted to the psychological interior of the protagonist, Alexandra Bergson, thereby rendering this violent interruption more dynamic as it essentially undercuts ...

We associate to certain symmetric or antisymmetric functions on the set ( E d+1 ) of (d+ 1)−subsets in a finite set E an equivalence relation on E and study some of its properties. 1 Definitions and main results We consider a finite set E and denote by (E d ) the set of subsets containing exactly d elements of E. In the sequel we move often freely from sets to sequences: we identify a subset {x...
