Pitfalls in 'Orthodox Knowledge'

Exercises in orthodox geometry

Here is a collection of interesting problems in geometry. Solution of each problem requires only one non-trivial idea. The project is oriented to graduate students who want to learn fast simple tricks in geometry. For problem solvers. Easy problems are marked by “◦” and hard problems by “∗”. If the solution requires knowledge of some not quite standard theorem it is marked by “+”, in this case ...

Aging in Orthodox Seeds is a Problem

Seed deterioration is loss of seed quality, viability and vigor due to effect of adverse environmental factors. Many of our crops are reproduced through seeds, and throughout the world large quantities are produced, stored and transported. Seed ageing during storage may cause retardation of field establishment, and may eventually result in seedling abnormalities or even failure of emergence. Du...
