A study was carried out in central Italy into the evapotranspiration from linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.). In particular, the objectives were to (a) evaluate the accuracy of daily evapotranspiration estimates from partially incomplete Bowen ratio data; (b) measure seasonal evapotranspiration from linseed; (c) test the FAO 56 method for estimating crop coefficients for linseed and (d) calculate...

This paper explores the development of two theories human behavior as they relate to work systems. Both Murray Bowen and Barry Oshry formulated how people operate in groups. developed his theory through observation families extended thinking apply more broadly. observed systems lab thought what he saw there could also be true society at large. Practitioners have applied both their with However,...

A 60-year-old male patient presented with complaints of persistent red to a brown-colored plaque on his scrotum, with duration of approximately three years. The patient had been treated with oral and topical antifungals for inguinal tinea for several months and after that with topical corticosteroids for eczema for several more months. None of the regimens achieved any therapeutic effect. The h...

The Bowen Basin contains the largest coal reserves in Australia. Prolonged heavy rainfall during the 2010-2011 wet-season severely affected industry operations with an estimated economic loss of A$5.7 billion (£3.8 billion). There was no explicit warning of the exceptionally wet conditions in the seasonal forecast from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, which simply suggested a 50-55% probab...

The literature contains several extensions of the standard definitions of topological entropy for a continuous self-map f : X→X from the case when X is a compact metric space to the case when X is allowed to be noncompact. These extensions all require the space X to be totally bounded, or equivalently to have a compact completion, and are invariants of uniform conjugacy. When themap f is unifor...

INTRODUCTION Although few cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with clear cells have been published, we believe that these cells are often present in SCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 249 SCCs, analyzing a number of clinical and histological variables. Various immunohistochemical techniques (immunoperoxidase method) were used to determine whether adnexal differentiation was present. RE...

There is a need for more skilful medium-term rainfall forecasts for the Bowen Basin, a key coal-mining region in Queensland, Australia. Prolonged heavy rainfall during the 2010–2011 summer was not forecasted and it severely affected industry operations. Official forecasts are currently based on general circulation models (GCMs) and indicate there will be change in the timing and strength of the...
