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

Biphenyl Inhibitors of Carbonyl Reductase

Compositions of matter and methods of treating cancer patients may prevent or limit cardiotoxicity during or after chemotherapy, and/or may prevent or lower resistance to anthracycline drugs, both of which are believed to be caused by the human enzyme carbonyl reductase. Thus, the compositions and methods may be used to reduce the dosages of anthracycline anti-cancer drugs necessary to produce a desired cancer-cell-killing performance. Preferred embodiments comprise treating cancer patients with a pharmaceutical composition comprising biphenyl compounds having two halogenated (or pseudo-halogenated) and/or hydroxylated, aryl groups that are linked by a bridging atom. The preferred composition of biphenyl compound(s) may be administered in a pharmaceutical composition also comprising at least one anthracycline compound, or may be administered separately than the at least one anthracycline compound. Especially-preferred biphenyl compounds include triclosan, hexachlorophene, and dichlorophene
