The application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer not only increases crop yield but also improves the N utilization efficiency. critical concentration (Nc) can be used to diagnose crops’ nutritional status. Nc dilution curve model maize was calibrated with leaf dry matter (LDM) as indicator, and performance for diagnosing status further evaluated. Three field experiments were carried out in two sites ...

1 The medical staff might not have to be represented here since they only enter what factors that should be monitored and so they can be seen as the same entity as the nurses' station.

milk performance (protein and fat content) and milk fatty acids (fa) profile of dairy cows under supplementation with two sources of concentrate, oilseeds (c, cottonseed) at two levels, low (5kg dm/cow/day) and high (7 kg dm/cow/day), and cereal grains (b, barley) at high rate (7 kg dm/cow/day), were studied in three herds (n=36) of spring calving holstein-friesian dairy cows (200 days in milk)...

Convective activity occurs more commonly and frequently across the United States during the spring and summer (nominally, the period of May through September). While distribution of the activity has been examined both temporally (time of maximum activity and severity) and spatially (e.g., nationally as well as regional variations) to depict its characteristic time of occurrence and pattern, ver...

In European Robins, Erithacus rubecula, the magnetic compass is lateralized in favor of the right eye/left hemisphere of the brain. This lateralization develops during the first winter and initially shows a great plasticity. During the first spring migration, it can be temporarily removed by covering the right eye. In the present paper, we used the migratory orientation of robins to analyze the...

Title of Document: THE HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY PERFORMANCE OF THE SLIGO-DENNIS BIORETENTION CELL. Jennifer M. Olszewski, Master of Science, 2010 Directed By: Professor Allen P. Davis Civil and Environmental Engineering Bioretention cells have been found to improve the hydrologic and water quality performance of impervious areas such as parking lots. The current study recorded hydrologic da...
