Field studies were conducted in 2007 and 2008 near Nyssa, OR, and Pasco and Paterson, WA to evaluate yellow nutsedge and broadleaf weed control and potato tolerance to imazosulfuron. No injury symptoms from imazosulfuron were evident on potato at Nyssa, whereas in Washington, imazosulfuron caused some chlorosis of potato foliage ranging from 6 to 15% and , 4% at 6 and 15 d after POST applicatio...

The paper presents a numerical model for the simulation of flood waves and suspended sediment transport in a lowland river basin of North Eastern Italy. The two dimensional depth integrated momentum and continuity equations are modified to take into account the bottom irregularities that strongly affect the hydrodynamics in partially dry areas, as for example, in the first stages of an inundati...

An international Symposium for the Classification of Brackish Waters, sponsored by the International Association of Limnology and the International Union of Biological Sciences, was held in Venice, 8-14 April 1958. From it derived the following statement on the classification of marine saline waters. The complete proceedings of the symposium are to be published soon, prcsumably as an IUBS collo...

This paper analyses the relationship between different equity rules and the incentives to sign and ratify a climate agreement. A widespread conjecture suggests that a more equitable ex-ante distribution of the burden of reducing emissions would provide the right incentives for more countries particularly big emitters to accept an emission reduction scheme defined within an international climate...

BELIV’06 took place on May 23 2006, in Venice, hosted by AVI 2006 (Advanced Visual Interface Working Conference). The goal of Beliv’06 was to share experiences and new ideas about evaluation methods for information visualization. Our decision to organize the event was born from an acknowledgment of current methods’ limitations, and some frustration with evaluation processes that are time consum...

Abstract—In this paper, a procedure for the evaluation of seismic behavior of slender masonry structures (towers, bell towers, chimneys, minarets, etc.) is presented. The presented procedure is based on a full three-dimensional modal analyses and frequency measurements. As well-known, masonry is a composite material formed by bricks, or stone blocks, and mortar arranged more or less regularly a...
