Four containerized deciduous ornamental shrubs [deutzia (Deutzia gracilis L.), silverleaf dogwood (Cornus nlba 'Elegantissima'), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea L.), and ninebark (Physocarpirs optilifolius L.)] were grown during each of two separate growing seasons using 12 different immature (nonaged) composts as media (year one, 12 weeks from start of windrowing; year two, 16-weeks) and als...

A motor alimentary conditioned reflex was elaborated in hippocampectomized and intact albino rats. Food reinforcement followed 100 percent, 50 percent, 33 percent or 25 percent of conditional stimulus presentations (click from a rotating food box). No differences were found in the rate of conditioned alimentary reflex elaboration between the hippocampectomized and control rats at 100 percent an...

Faba bean plants (Vicia faba) showed remarkable resistant to wilt disease caused by Fusarium solani pv. Phaseoli when watered with a mixture of heavy metal at a concentration 10mg/L. However the use of Zn, Pb alone slightly increases the susceptibility of bean plants to Fusarium wilt. Plants exposed to Cd or Cu treatment accelerate the symptoms appearance in infected plant. The toxicity of a si...
