Selections of the Houghton clones of Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is the premium red wine grape variety grown in Western Australia. The high quality wines produced have won prestigious awards and accolades nationally and internationally. The first clonal selection of Cabernet Sauvignon in Western Australia was conducted by the Department of Agriculture at the Houghton Vineyard in the Swan Valley from 1968 to 1970. The objective was yield improvement, vine health and fruit flavour. Twenty-one high performing vines were identified from vines planted in Houghton Vineyard in the 1950s as cuttings sourced from vines planted in the 1930s. These high performing vines became known as the ‘Houghton clones’. Evaluation trials were planted at Gingin in 1970 and Frankland in 1973.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1055/thumbnail.jp

Chapter 10 Telepractice in adult speech-language pathology during COVID-19

This collection is the first of its kind to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the caseloads and clinical practice of speech-language pathologists. The volume synthesises existing data on the wide-ranging effects of COVID-19 on the communication, swallowing, and language skills of individuals with COVID infection. Featuring perspectives of scholars and practitioners from around the globe, the book examines the ways in which clinicians have had to modify their working practices to prioritise patient and clinician safety, including the significant increase in the use of telepractice during the pandemic. The volume also reflects on changes in training and education which have seen educators in the field redesign their clinical practicum in order to best prepare students for professional practice in an age of COVID-19 and beyond, as the field continues to grapple with the long-term effects of the pandemic. Offering a holistic treatment of the impact of COVID-19 on the work of speech-language pathologists, this book will be of interest to students, researchers, and clinicians working in the discipline

Expansion of the Cosmic Fabric Model to the Inelastic Case

This research expands Tenev’s Cosmic Fabric Model (CFM) to include the large strain and inelastic cases which provide new insights into anomalies of General Relativity. CFM considers an ethereal universe (the cosmic fabric ) and applies continuum mechanics at the galactic and cosmic length scales to effectively recover equations from General Relativity where the Laplacian of strain corresponds to the Laplacian of the gravitational potential in the weak field approximation. While still at the very beginning of the research, this project explores several possible leads related to the inelastic behavior of the fabric. (A) With a Poisson ratio of 1, the fabric likely has a fibrous substructure on the lowest length scales, and inelastic strain will likely cause an aligned texture of the fibers which could lead to predictable behaviors of the fabric. (B) The thermodynamic behavior of the fabric may lead to explanations of why matter bends spacetime: if matter-energy induces a thermodynamic response from the fabric, causing it to soften and bend, then matter-matter interactions would propagate at a slower rate and the energy state of the fabric near gravitational wells may produce an acceleration of mass, essentially producing the lapse rate and kinematic effects observed by General Relativity. (C) If the cosmic fabric exhibits inelastic behavior due to cosmic stretching or damage, then anisotropic structure would be expected, including possibly the stretching and spins of macro-scale grains which may offer one explanation for the filament structure of galaxies observed at the higher length scales as well as possibly the generation of some or all black holes. Cosmic and functional structure, both macro- and micro-, implies design from God, the Great Engineer of the universe

Musical Textures of Migration: Music’s Role in the Syrian Refugee Experience in Germany

This thesis centers around three in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees living in Germany. Based on these interviews, this thesis reveals insights about the Syrian refugee experience in Germany and the role music plays. This project aimed to answer the questions: What is the relationship between music and the Syrian refugee experience in Germany? Does music affect Syrian refugees' identities throughout their experience arriving and trying to make a home in Germany? In answering these questions, I extrapolated the connections between music and identity, music and language, and music and reenactment. I also analyze the nuanced tensions between integration, assimilation, and multiculturalism as methods of community building in Germany, and globally. Accordingly, I assert that music sharing between listeners can be used to create more equitable and empathic community building processes.Bachelor of Art

Proposed reintroduction of fishers in the North Cascades National Park environmental impact assessment

The proposed action is the reintroduction of fishers in the North Cascades. Approximately 160 fishers will be translocated from British Columbia to the North Cascades over a four to six year period. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), the National Park Service (NPS), and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) have proposed this action

Management of Traumatic Coracoid Fracture and Anterior Shoulder Instability With a Modified Arthroscopic Latarjet Technique

Abstract: Coracoid fractures are an uncommon injury and typically occur in the setting of high energy trauma. Isolated injury to the coracoid is rare therefore a high suspicion for concomitant shoulder injury should exist. These associated injuries have been shown to be acromioclavicular dislocations, clavicular and acromial fractures, scapular spine fractures, rotator cuff tears, and anterior shoulder dislocations. While the majority of these shoulder injuries respond to non-surgical treatment, there are case reports and literature reviews that present more complicated injuries requiring surgical intervention. Shoulder dislocations with associated coracoid fractures can also manifest glenoid bone loss resulting in continued instability. In this scenario the fractured coracoid can be used to address the glenoid bone loss as well as the continued instability. In regards to technique, others describe an open procedure with screw or anchor fixation. The purpose of this technical note is to describe our technique for treating a displaced Ogawa Type-II coracoid process fracture with concomitant anterior shoulder dislocation using an arthroscopic Latarjet technique utilizing the fractured coracoid.https://scholarlycommons.henryford.com/merf2020caserpt/1081/thumbnail.jp
