A Soil-Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) chlorophyll meter can be used as a simple tool for evaluating N concentration of the leaf and investigating the combined effects of nitrogen rate and leaf age on N distribution. We conducted experiments in a paddy field over two consecutive years (2008-2009) using rice plants treated with six different N application levels. N distribution pattern was det...

OBJECTIVE Evaluation of ideal time for baseline PtcO2 readings in air, elevation test, and oxygen challenge during evaluation of hypoxic wound patients. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. IRB APPROVAL: Western IRB deemed this study exempt from requiring IRB approval. PATIENTS 202 patients with lower extremity wounds. METHOD Patients had PtcO2 measurements using 6 electrodes positioned in 3 pa...

Computer-based simulations can be important tools to support learning. In this respect, socalled microworlds have been said to build substantial synergy between learning to think in systems frameworks and learning to deal with the complexity of actual settings. Since the first microworlds were introduced, their educational value has been accepted as an article of faith. In this paper the implic...

6d.) This book contains 23 papers by different authors, most of which are reprints of j^sidential addresses, or articles in general science magazines. They mostly consist of summing up" of the situation in the field at the time they were written. It is, in fact, s?rt of stock-taker's catalogue, and as such is very useful.

In this paper we show that most DPs in subject position can receive three kinds of truth-conditions, yielding a proportional reading, a ‘regular’ superlative reading and a ‘partition-based’ superlative reading. We propose an analysis of the three readings that views them as resulting from the interaction of several components, including (a generalized version of) the superlative operator -est, ...

We present an efficient algorithm for computing the weakest readings of semantically ambiguous sentences. A corpus-based evaluation with a large-scale grammar shows that our algorithm reduces over 80% of sentences to one or two readings, in negligible runtime, and thus makes it possible to work with semantic representations derived by deep large-scale grammars.

mainly on the students of the Berry-White Medical School and on some patients of the indoor hospital attached to the same school; it is, therefore, possible that they may not apply equally well to all classes of Indians in all parts of India. But, as we believe our paper to be the first one of its kind dealing with at least a section of the Indian people, we have adopted the above title for thi...
