As the world economy and population grow in the twenty-first century, atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases are likely to continue to rise (Naki enovi and Swart 2000). Credible projections of future climate changes induced by these increases have many practical applications (e.g., for climate impact assessments and to guide future emissions controls). Most previous simul...

This paper compares two influential attempts at presenting a comprehensive framework of knowledge management. For each perspective the author examines theoretical foundations, highlights conceptual elements and themes, and discusses the role of information and information management. Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi analyze the dynamics of knowledge creation, particularly the importance of ...

In natural ecosystem plants are associated with endophytes. Endophytes are capable of producing extreme secondary metabolites that are used as biocontrol agents, immunosuppressive compounds, etc. (Tan and Zou, 2001). Endophytes have provided many useful compounds that are necessary in developing fields such as medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, etc. (Strobel et al., 2003). They may be seen i...

Since the pioneer efforts of Banyai6 there have emerged only a few reports up to relative recency. Since 1947 publications by Mitchell et al.,’ Trimble et al.,8 Hurst et al.’4 and several others have contributed notably to further clarification of the results which have been consistently good, particularly in the face of many instances of far advanced disease wherein prognosis once was held as ...

It is remarkable that the pathological state of human soft tissues highly correlates with static and low-frequency mechanical properties, particularly shear elasticity (e.g., Sumi, 2005d). Accordingly, we have been developing ultrasonic (US)-strain-measurement-based onedimensional (1D) (Sumi et al., 1993, 1995a, 2010f; Sumi, 1999b, 2005d, 2008a, 2010d; Sumi & Matsuzawa, 2007b), 2D (Sumi et al.,...

Tree species composition and structure was determined for an old bottomland hardwood forest located in the Moro Creek Bottoms Natural Area in south-central Arkansas. Diversity for this forest was high with species richness ranging from 33 for the overstory and sapling strata to 26 for the seedling stratum and Shannon-Weiner values of 2.54 to 1.02 for the overstory and seedling strata. Sweetgum ...

Handling, storage, treatment and use of different forms of animals excrements entails two principle problems: epizootological or epidemiological and hygienical. Solid excrements contain high numbers of common intestinal microflora (E. coli, faecal streptococci, lactobacilli etc.), bacteria that are pathogenic also for man (salmonellae, mycobacteria, listeriae etc.), protozoa (Isospora spp., Bal...
