Hydrology and sedimentology modeling on Illinois agricultural watersheds

The CREAMS (Chemicals, Runoff and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems) model was evaluated for predicting runoff and sediment delivery from central Illinois fields without calibration. CREAMS was found to be fairly accurate in predicting annual runoff and sediment delivery, if parameter values were based on the best available information. The violation of the assumption of applying CREAMS to fields having uniform characteristics, was not critical if weighted averages for parameter values were used in expressing the variability of a field. The effect of variations in parameter values on runoff and sediment delivery predicted by CREAMS was determined. This analysis identified the parameters whose values must be accurately chosen so that CREAMS can produce accurate results. The parameters related to infiltration, sheet and rill erosion, soil detachment capacity by concentrated flow, and sediment transport by overland and concentrated flow were found to produce the most variation in the prediction of runoff and sediment delivery by CREAMS.U.S. Department of the InteriorU.S. Geological SurveyOpe

Lessons from the journey : developing and applying an actor\u27s process through embodying Uncle Peck in How I learned to drive.

This personal narrative briefly describes my past in the performing arts and outlines my training as an actor and my development of an actor\u27s process through various class and performance experiences at the University of Louisville. Through the use of character notes, physical and vocal warm ups, and research into the mindset and vocal patterns of another person I found pathway for exploring, discovering, and embodying the character of Uncle Peck. I further discuss how I can apply this process to other theatre projects and offer my own insights into theatre and why I have chosen this art form as my life\u27s work and vocation

Santiago extends the range of burr medics

The release of Santiago follows an extensive Department of Agriculture testing programme conducted primarily in the 325 to 425 mm rainfall zone. Santiago substantially outperformed both Serena and Circle Valley and was the best amongst the large number of non-commercial medic varieties tested. About 500J000 ha were sown to burr medic between 1983 and 1988 and the Department of Agriculture expects that the release of Santiago will result in additional new plantings fro

‘Fire and rehire’:four lessons from Australia

The practice of firing employees and then rehiring them in their same jobs on inferior conditions and lower wages (‘fire and rehire’) has emerged as a matter of acute political controversy. Its use in the United Kingdom has become even more controversial in the period since the Covid-19 pandemic. A brutal example of the practice was seen in the P&amp;O case, which could be viewed as an example of ‘fire and replace’ as well as ‘fire and rehire’. In March 2022, P&amp;O Ferries summarily dismissed 786 seafarers, setting aside £44 million to meet the anticipated compensation costs arising from its failure to comply with multiple employment law obligations owed to the crew. Approximately 100 of those dismissed were re-engaged on new terms, the remainder replaced by new crew engaged through agencies on inferior terms and conditions. This article addresses what would need to be done to ‘ban’ fire and rehire, and the related practice of fire and replace. It is argued that fire and rehire is a symptom of system failure which will not be addressed by sticking plaster solutions or by an unenforceable code, but by addressing the underlying causes. This means better regulation, treating collective agreements and contracts of employment with greater respect, better procedures for the negotiation of change, and more effective remedies designed to restrain employers from acting unlawfully. In addressing these matters we draw extensively on the experience of Australia where fire and rehire as understood or practised in the United Kingdom is largely unknown.</p
