Survival and Growth of Trees and Shrubs on Different Lignite Minesoils in Louisiana

In 1980, an experimental opencast lignite mine was developed to compare redistributed A horizon with three minesoil mixtures as growth media for woody plants. The three minesoil mixtures contained different amounts and types of overburden materials, and normal reclamation practices were followed. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima Carruthers), yaupon (Ilex vomitori...

Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria Reproduction on Dwarf Hollies and Lantana.

Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria reproduction and host plant tolerance were assessed in field and greenhouse experiments on seven holly cultivars including Ilex glabra 'Shamrock', I. vomitoria 'Schelling's Dwarf', I. cornuta 'Carissa', red holly hybrid (Ilex Little Red), and I. crenata 'Compacta', 'Green Luster', and 'Helleri' as well as Japanese boxwood (Buxus microphylla) and two lantana...

The removal of sulphate by the excretory apparatus of the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria.

The excretion of sulphate by the isolated Malpighian tubules of Calliphora vomitoria has been investigated. Contrary to expectation, it was found that the isolated tubules are freely permeable to sulphate. The rate of sulphate secretion is comparable to the rates of secretion of both phosphate and chloride. The excretion of sulphate by the intact fly has also been verified.

Development and validation of a GC–MS method for nicotine detection in Calliphora vomitoria

Demonstration of ILEX 3.0

We will demonstrate the ILEX system, a system which dynamically generates descriptions of database objects for the web, adapting the description to the discourse context and user type. Among other improvements in version 3, the system now generates from relational databases, and this demonstration will focus on this ability. We will also show how incremental extensions to the domain semantics i...
