Hunger signs in plants

Soil, water and tissue analysis are all used to diagnose plant nutrition. This is often helpful and can confirm nutrient toxicities or deficiencies, but often the easiest and most direct technique is to look at the plant symptoms. All higher plants take on certain patterns on their leaves when there is a lack or overabundance of a certain nutrient.  Para citar este artículoFaber, B. (2015). Hunger signs in plants. Rev. Colomb.

The Epoch of Disk Formation: z is Approximately l to Today

We present data on galaxy kinematics, morphologies, and star-formation rates over 0.1 less than z less than 1.2 for approximately 500 blue galaxies. These data show how systems like our own Milky-Way have come into being. At redshifts around 1, about half the age of the Universe ago, Milky-Way mass galaxies were different beasts than today. They had a significant amount of disturbed motions, disturbed morphologies, shallower potential wells, higher specific star-formation rates, and likely higher gas fractions. Since redshift approximately 1, galaxies have decreased in disturbed motions, increased in rotation velocity and potential well depth, become more well-ordered morphologically, and decreased in specific star-formation rate. We find interrelationships between these measurements. Galaxy kinematics are correlated with morphology and specific star-formation rate such that galaxies with the fastest rotation velocities and the least amounts of disturbed motions have the most well-ordered morphologies and the lowest specific star-formation rates. The converse is true. Moreover, we find that the rate at which galaxies become more well-ordered kinematically (i.e., increased rotation velocity, decreased disturbed motions) and morphologically is directly proportional to their stellar mass

Consejos sobre la sequía: Mantener las plantas del exterior vivas con poco agua

Esta publicación provee información sobre cómo mantener vivas las plantas del exterior durante una sequía y bajo restricciones sobre el uso del agua. Entre los temas abordados se incluyen los síntomas que muestran las plantas bajo estrés por falta de agua, consejos para ahorrar agua en su paisaje, métodos para ayudar a que ciertas plantas sobrevivan una sequía y consideraciones para plantar un paisaje resistente a la sequía

Volunteer Researchers: Moving Beyond Cooperators

Engaging volunteer cooperators to perform field research presents a new approach to conducting applied research. We enlisted Extension Service users to conduct research. This allowed for an increased sample size and expanded study area than was possible using traditional approaches. Cooperators received comprehensive training that briefed them on the subject and research protocols. Data were collected via research workbooks and informal written surveys. We obtained acceptable data for demonstrating the efficacy of rodenticide treatment under operational conditions. Unexpectedly, cooperators favored one control method and indicated they would use it in the future, despite no statistical difference between treatment methods

Serious complication 1 year after sacrospinous ligament fixation

Myositis of the gluteal region caused by group A streptococci 1 year after a sacrospinous ligament fixation was recognised as a serious complication of this procedure. Most likely, the infection was spread to the gluteal region through a port d’entree caused by vaginal atrophy, via the non-resorbable sutures. The patient was treated successfully with antibiotics intravenous and local estrogens

MULCH EFFECTS ON AVOCADO ROOT ROT

Abstract Hass avocado on three types of rootstock (Duke 7, Thomas, and Toro Canyon) and Zutano seedlings were planted in root rot infested soil and treated (or untreated) with mulch, Aliette or gypsum, as well as all possible combinations. Toro Canyon rootstocks produced the largest trees, Duke 7 the smallest. Mulch and gypsum did not affect tree size, however Aliette stimulated tree growth. Mulched trees had increased diseased symptoms while Aliette-treated trees were less symptomatic. Gypsum had no effect on disease ratings

Screening and Deconfinement of Sources in Finite Temperature SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory

Deconfinement and screening of higher-representation sources in finite-temperature $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory is investigated by both analytical and numerical means. The effective Polyakov-line action at strong coupling is simulated by an efficient cluster-updating Monte Carlo algorithm for the case of $d\!=\!4$ dimensions. The results compare very favourably with an improved mean-field solution. The limit $d\!\to\!\infty$ of the $SU(2)$ theory is shown to be highly singular as far as critical behaviour is concerned. In that limit the leading amplitudes of higher representation Polyakov lines vanish at strong coupling, and subleading exponents become dominant. Each of the higher-representation sources then effectively carry with them their own critical exponents.Comment: 13pages+7figures, CERN-TH-7222/94 One reference added, else unchange
