such as on-the-go sensors (Scotford et al., 1999; Stombaugh and Shearer, 2000) and images (Schnug et al., Sidedressing may provide a better window of opportunity for land 1998) to adjust sidedress rates on a site-specific basis application of liquid swine (Sus scrofa) manure than early spring or fall application. Rates could be fine-tuned to match crop N demand according to soil properties or c...

The NCCN Guidelines for Melanoma provide multidisciplinary recommendations on the clinical management of patients with melanoma. This NCCN Guidelines Insights report highlights notable recent updates. Foremost of these is the exciting addition of the novel agents ipilimumab and vemurafenib for treatment of advanced melanoma. The NCCN panel also included imatinib as a treatment for KIT-mutated t...

Deep tillage of compacted soils can improve potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber yield and quality if no other production factors are limiting. We hypothesized that within-row subsoiling and N placement would affect tuber yields and availability of plant nutrients. Potato (cv. Russet Burbank) was grown after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in 1989 and after dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) i...

could be optimized using modified NT systems (including ST) and starter fertilizer. In Iowa Mallarino et al. (1999) Utilizing conservation tillage practices and increasing fertilizer N found that ST frequently increased early growth but seluse efficiency for corn (Zea mays L.) are necessary for optimizing dom increased corn grain yields compared with NT. growers’ profits and for minimizing loss...

Traditional methods o f measuring tree root biomass are labor intensive and destructive in nature. We studied the utility of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to measure tree root biomass in situ within a replicated, intensive culture forestry experiment planted with loblolly pine (Pinus tneda L.). The study site was located in Decatur County, Georgia, in an area of the Troup and Lucy (loamy, kaol...

We first generalize an identity involving the generalized Fibonacci numbers and then apply it to establish some general identities concerning special sums. We also give a sufficient condition on a generalized Fibonacci sequence {Un} such that Un is divisible by an arbitrary prime r for some 2 < n ≤ r − 2. 1. Preliminaries The generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are defined, respectively, by...

DNA polymerases are responsible for ensuring stability of the genome and avoiding genotoxicity caused by a variety of factors during DNA replication. Consequently, these proteins have been associated with an increased cancer risk. DNA polymerase kappa (POLK) is a specialized DNA polymerase involved in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) that allows DNA synthesis over the damaged DNA. Recently, some...

Tillage systems and nutrient management influence soil chemical properties that can impact the long-term sustainability of dryland production systems. This study was conducted to compare the effects of no-till (NT) and conventional till (CT) on the soil chemical properties and grain yield of a dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)– grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]/corn (Zea may...

The semi-topological K-theory of a complex variety was defined in [FW2] with the expectation that it would prove to be a theory lying “part way” between the algebraic K-theory of the variety and the topological K-theory of the associated analytic space, and thus would share properties with each of these other theories. In this paper, we realize these expectations by proving among other results ...
