ICRISAT Annual Report 1990

ICRISAT Report 1990 is the first progress report in a new formal. It replaces the two previous yearly progress reports published by ICRISAT: the Annual Report, which has been published since 1973/74, and Research Highlights, published since 1979. The change was made in an effort to reach the increasingly wide range of readers of the Institute's publications. The document contains two main sections consisting of Directors' Reports and Research Highlights. The latter comprises four designated themes: Abiotic Stress; Integrated Pest Management; Assistance to National Programs, Networking, and Technology Exchange; and Sustainability. These main sections are supported by brief descriptions of ICRISAT's crops and its research environment and progress reports from Research Support units. The appendices include Financial Highlights, a list of publications, and a staff list

Exploring the factors related to academic publication productivity among selected Malaysian academic engineers and scientists

This is an exploratory study, which aims to examine the factors affecting the research publication productivity of academic engineers and scientists from the National University of Malaysia (UKM) and University of Malaya (UM). This study aims to identify problems, as well as increase the understanding of factors conducive for a productive academic research environment. [Continues.

Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty 1990-1999 (Volume 7)

Proofreaders included: Barry B. Adams, Royal D. Colle, Gould P. Colman, P.C. Tobias de Boer, Ronald B. Furry, Donald F. Holcomb, Malden C. Nesheim, Porus D. Olpadwala and Milo E. Richmond. Judith A. Bower, who has edited these booklets for many years, has had oversight for quality control. J. Robert Cooke, co-founder of the Internet-First University Press with Kenneth M. King, was producer. J. Robert Cooke also served as Dean of the University Faculty (1998-2003). The archival copies of the source materials were provided by Diane D. LaLonde of the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and Elaine Engst of the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collection. The scanning and optical character recognition services were provided by Fiona Patrick and colleagues in the Cornell University Library’s Digital Consulting and Production Services.The custom of honoring each deceased faculty member through a memorial statement was established in 1868, just after the founding of this University. Since 1938 the Office of the Dean of the Faculty has produced annually a memorial booklet which is sent to the families of the deceased and filed with the University Archives. We are now making these memorial statements (1868 through 2008) readily available online, and for convenience, are grouping these by decade in which the death occurred, assembling the memorials alphabetically within the decade. The Statements for the earlier years (1868 through 1938, assembled by Dean Cornelius Betten) are included in volume one. Many of these also include retirement statements; when available, these follow the companion memorial statement in this book. The first two years of the annual booklets are group with these to complete the decade. A few archival copies are being bound and stored in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and in the Rare and Manuscript Collection in Kroch Library. These documents are full-text searchable across all years. Individual memorial statements, as well as volumes of these, may be downloaded. These PDF files provide bookmarks and a contents listing with each entry hyperlinked for convenient access. For historical purposes, scans of the original documents are also accessible

CGIAR Research Program on Rice

This program, also known as GRiSP, is designed to increase rice productivity and value for the poor, and improve the sustainable management of water and other resources on which rice production depends. Through a single strategic plan and new alliance that involves more than 900 partners worldwide, GRiSP will deploy rice genetic diversity, while promoting simultaneous revolutions in rice agronomy, processing, and policy. The partnership will harness the genetic diversity of rice to improve productivity, quality, and health; accelerate development, delivery, and adoption of improved rice varieties; and extract more value from rice harvests through improved quality, processing, markets, and new products
