Mixtures of modern and historical wheat cultivars under organic management in western Canada

Two historic (Red Fife and Marquis) and two modern (5602HR; AC Barrie) wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars were assessed to determine if cultivar mixtures provided a benefit to grain yield and disease and weed suppression in Manitoba over 3 site-years. 5602HR was the highest yielding sole cultivar while Marquis and AC Barrie were the lowest yielding sole cultivars. Red Fife yielded similar to 5602HR in several cases. Orthogonal contrasts across all site-years showed that 3 and 4 cultivar mixtures yielded similar (P>0.05) to 5602HR, the highest yielding monocrop

Think Happy Thoughts : Peter Pan as a Tragic Hero

Using Aristotle\u27s definition of the tragic hero, this work will explore J.M. Barrie\u27s novel, Peter and Wendy, and how Peter is a tragic figure. In this paper I argue that Peter Pan is not only a tragic hero whose human frailty— in Peter’s case, his fear of growing old— causes him to make the terrible mistake of rejecting his own development of humanity and the opportunity for redemption through maternal love, but that Barrie uses Peter to emphasize that, contrary to the Romantic conception of childhood, children need the guidance of parents in order to live a fulfilling life

Exoplanets - search methods, discoveries, and prospects for astrobiology

Whereas the Solar System has Mars and Europa as the best candidates for finding fossil/extant life as we know it - based on complex carbon compounds and liquid water - the 263 (non-pulsar) planetary systems around other stars as known at 15 September 2008 could between them possess many more planets where life might exist. Moreover, the number of these exoplanetary systems is growing steadily, and with this growth there is an increase in the number of planets that could bear carbon-liquid water life. In this brief review the main methods by which exoplanets are being discovered are outlined, and then the discoveries that have so far been made are presented. Habitability is then discussed, and an outline presented of how a planet could be studied from afar to determine whether it is habitable, and whether it is indeed inhabited. This review is aimed at the astrobiology community, which spans many disciplines, few of which involve exoplanets. It is therefore at a basic level and concentrates on the major topics.Comment: 37 pages, 12 Figure

Melding Identities : The Kailyard and Victorian Society in James Barrie's Peter and Wendy

This dissertation intends to reconcile the two identities of James Matthew Barrie, the Scottish writer and the English playwright, through the analysis of his novel Peter and Wendy (1911) and the tropes showcased in his Kailyard novels, such as A Window in Thrums (1889). This paper focuses on the treatment of landscape, motherhood as a performative role in the instruction of the child, communities defined by censorship and the subtle appearances of the New Woman. These elements allow to find the correlation between past and present influences, which aims to unify the two identities James M. Barrie embodies.Aquesta tesi té com a intenció reconciliar les dues identitats de James Matthew Barrie, escriptor Escocès i el dramaturg Anglès, a través de l'anàlisi de la seva novel·la Peter i Wendy(1911) i de les al·legories exhibides en les seves novel·les Kailyard, com Una finestra a Thrums (1889). Aquest projecte es centra en el tractament del paisatge, la maternitat com un rol performatiu en la criança de l'infant, comunitats definides per la censura i les subtils aparicions de la Nova Dona. Aquests elements permeten trobar la correlació entre influències presents i passades, amb la finalitat d'unificar les dues identitats que James M. Barrie encarna.Esta tesis tiene como intención reconciliar las dos identidades de James Matthew Barrie, el escritor escocés y el dramaturgo inglés, a través del análisis de su novela Peter y Wendy (1911) y de las alegorías exhibidas en sus novelas Kailyard, como Una ventana en Thrums (1889). Este proyecto se centra en el trato del paisaje, la maternidad como un rol performativo en la crianza del niño, comunidades definidas por la censura y las sutiles apariciones de la Nueva Mujer.
