Two on-farm commercial vegetable demonstrations were conducted in south-central Kentucky, along with three specialty melon observation plots in 2003. Grower/cooperators were located in Edmonson and Larue counties. The grower/cooperator in Edmonson County grew one acre of cantaloupes, marketed through Green River Produce Marketing Cooperative located in Horse Cave, Kentucky. In Larue County, the...

In Section 6.5 of the First Report of the Science Review, the Panel drew attention to a lack of detailed knowledge of the potential impacts on biodiversity following the introduction of GM herbicide tolerant (GMHT) crops. Studies that systematically compared the effects of GMHT and conventional management regimes were available, but usually confined to small-scale studies at research stations o...

Movement across the borders of the nation-state has always been uneven, but over the past few decades the unfettered movement of goods and images has been defended under the ideology of freedom and openness. At the same time, the movement of people, including refugees, has become increasingly administered and restricted in the name of ‘the national interest’. This article argues that Australia ...

When averaged across the three growing seasons of the study, regression analyses indicated that 25R47 had maximum yield at ~1,320,000 seeds/acre, close to the recommended rate of 1,400,000 seeds/acre (Table 1). In contrast, 25R62 had a maximum yield at ~ 1,030,000 seeds/acre, about 400,000 seeds/acre less than the current recommended rate (Table 1). Furthermore, this variety did not respond to ...

BACKGROUND The majority of human brucellosis cases in Israel are caused by the ingestion of unpasteurized dairy foods produced from unlicensed family-owned flocks whose products are sold door-to-door at low prices. Exposure to infected farm animals is another major cause of infection. OBJECTIVES To determine, by examining recent incidence data and brucellosis control programs, whether a reduc...

OBJECTIVE To assess the significant differences in the nymphal development of the Rhodnius robustus Larrousse, 1927 under different temperatures and humidity conditions. This is a species found in the northern region of Brazil (states of Acre, Amazonas, and Pará), Colombia, Equator, Peru and Venezuela. METHODS Three groups of triatominae were kept under the following laboratory conditions: 33...

We describe a recent progress in finding solutions to three-particle evolution equations at leading order in the QCD coupling constant for multiparton correlation functions based on the integrability of corresponding interaction Hamiltonians. Talk given at the 4th Workshop on Continuous Advances in QCD Minneapolis, May 12-14, 2000 INTEGRABILITY OF TWIST-THREE EVOLUTION EQUATIONS IN QCD A. V. BE...

Billy Watson and Bryce Stokes ABSTRACT: The cost and utilization were compared for a thinning operation removing the stems as roundwood with a flail chipper operationThe flail chipper operation recovered an additional 4.2 tons of acceptable chips per acre which resulted in a higher return to the site. There was little difference in the cost of acceptable chips delivered to the digester between ...

Human mobility, presence and passive transportation of Aedes aegypti mosquito, and environmental characteristics are a group of factors which contribute to the success of dengue spread and establishment. To understand this process, we assess data from dengue national and municipal basins regarding population and demographics, transportation network, human mobility, and Ae. aegypti monitoring fo...
