Thomas, J. B., Conner, R. L. and Graf, R. J. 2012. Radiant hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 169 175. Radiant hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is well adapted to the non-hazard region for stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.) within the Canadian prairies. Based on evaluation relative to Norstar, CDC Osprey, AC Tempest and AC Bellatri...

Health communication research and practice have been strongly influenced by the protection motivation theory (Rogers, 1975, 1983), the health belief model (Becker, Haefner, Kasl, et al., 1977; Becker, Haefner, & Maiman, 1977; Rosenstock, 1974), and similar conceptualizations. I refer to these as risk learning models because the goal is to teach new information about health risks and the behavio...

Several researches on scheduling problems have been done under the assumption that setup times are independent of job sequence. However, in certain contexts, such as the pharmaceutical industry, metallurgical production, electronics and automotive manufacturing, there are frequently setup times on equipment between two different activities. In a survey of industrial schedulers, Dudek et al. (19...

Antimicrobial properties of steroid compounds have been recorded in the literature from time to time. Although Faulkner (1943) was not able to demonstrate definite antimicrobial effects of several natural estrogenic compounds, diethylstilbestrol did exhibit some degree of bactericidal action on gram-positive bacteria. Reiss (1947a, b) observed inhibitory effects of methyl testosterone and deoxy...

Sampson and Eliaser in an article entitled " The Diagnosis of Impending Acute Coronary Arterial Occlusion " in 1937 described 29 cases " exhibiting attacks of prxcordial pain of prolonged duration which," they considered, " might represent a precursor phenomenon of characteristic acute coronary arterial occlusion." Feil, in the same year, described fifteen more cases of this syndrome, which he ...

When attempting to determine the optimal complexity of a neural network the correct decision is dependent upon obtaining the global solution at each stage of the decision process. Failure to ensure that each optimization being considered is near a global solution may lead to misleading and often conflicting results jeopardizing any decision rule for choosing an optimal complexity. Here, a genet...
