A growing trend to simultaneously insource and outsource the same information technology (IT) activities (“concurrent IT sourcing”) has not yet received research attention. Although it is widespread and recent empirical studies have detected that in-house IT can complement IT outsourcing, when and how concurrent IT sourcing pays off is not yet understood. This study introduces the notion of con...

The very hot, H-deecient PG 1159 stars are found in the post-AGB region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Most likely the \born-again" post-AGB scenario is valid for their evolution. It predicts a nal He-ash which brings back the star to the AGB, followed by a second (He burning) descent from the AGB where a superwind may take oo the entire H-rich and most of the He-rich envelope and lay bare...

natural organic wastes contain considerable amounts of nutritional elements. the availability and uptake of nutrient elements in soil) especially in alkali and calcareous soils) increase due to high content of organic matter, and reduce the micro-elements deficiencies. organic wastes have pathogenic contaminations that come from waste type and transmitted by microorganisms such as bacteria, fun...

shoot:root ratio, dry matter partitioning, growth analysis, and water use efficiency of oat (avena sativa l., cv. walker) was investigated under excessive nitrogen (n) as 200 mg n kg-1 (n1p0), excessive phosphorus as 200 mg p kg-1 (n0p1), and combined 100 mg n+100 mg p kg-1 (n2p2), and the control (n0p0) as check in a pot experiment at dryland agriculture institute, west texas a and m universit...

the leaf nitrogen content is generally accepted as an indicator of food quality and as a factor affecting host selection by phytophagous insects. the alate pea aphids (acyrthosiphon pisum harris, aphididae) were given a choice among non-nodulated pea plants (pisum sativum l.) supplied with one of four nitrate-n levels (0, 3, 15 and 30 mm). when whole plants were exposed to aphids for 7 days, th...
