Willa Cather's 1913 novel, O Pioneers! concludes with an unexpected moment of extreme violence as two young lovers, Emil Bergson and Marie Shabata, are murdered by Marie's husband in a mulberry orchard. Cather's novel is almost wholly devoted to the psychological interior of the protagonist, Alexandra Bergson, thereby rendering this violent interruption more dynamic as it essentially undercuts ...

We associate to certain symmetric or antisymmetric functions on the set ( E d+1 ) of (d+ 1)−subsets in a finite set E an equivalence relation on E and study some of its properties. 1 Definitions and main results We consider a finite set E and denote by (E d ) the set of subsets containing exactly d elements of E. In the sequel we move often freely from sets to sequences: we identify a subset {x...

Large-scale agricultural activities have come under scrutiny for possible contributions to the emission of ozone precursors. The San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California is an area with intense agricultural activity that exceeds the federal ozone standards for more than 30 to 40 d yr(-1) and the more stringent state standards for more than 100 d yr(-1). Pesticides are used widely in both agricult...

decreasing qualitative aspects of residential environments is a real problem in recent public housing of kerman. this article is concentrated on surveying the impact of in-between spaces on residential environments quality (req), to evaluate different kinds of it and to determine interrelation of two main components: residents individual characteristics and characteristics of in-between spaces....

We investigated Fraxinus excelsior breeding system using field data collected in a natural population and in a seed orchard. First, we attested functional trioecy (co-occurrence of males, hermaphrodites and females), with males producing pollen, hermaphrodites producing both pollen and seeds simultaneously, and females producing seeds. Second, we found that the reproductive system of F. excelsi...
