110 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 2, May 2008 ‘Alice’ (Reg. No. CV-1023, PI 644223) hard white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and coreleased by the South Dakota and Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Stations in August 2006. In addition to researchers at South Dakota State University, researchers at the University...

In this paper, I propose a new methodology to find the bicriteria shortest path from the source to the sink node of a network of queues under the steady-state condition. I assume the number of servers in each service station settled in a node of the network is either one or infinity. Moreover, the arc lengths are mutually independent random variables. First, I propose a method to transform each...

We investigate the impact of cyclic competition on pattern formation in the rock-paper-scissors game. By separately considering random and prepared initial conditions, we observe a critical influence of the competition rate p on the stability of spiral waves and on the emergence of biodiversity. In particular, while increasing values of p promote biodiversity, they may act detrimentally on spat...

We present a comprehensive study of pattern formation in single-field relaxational systems with field-dependent coefficients. A modulated mean-field theory leads to a form amenable to analysis via the geometric architecture developed in our earlier work for systems that exhibit phase transitions between global steady states [Phys. Rev. E 69, 011102 (2004)]. We demonstrate that the phase diagram...

Characteristic speciation of airborne volatile organics in Kaohsiung, the largest industrial city in Taiwan, is present in this paper. Hourly concentration of airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was monitored by on-line GC/FID and 3 hours-averaged sample was parallel conducted by canister during rush hour. Field sampling works were conducted at a traffic station (Qian-Jin) and an industr...

The spatial representativeness of gauging stations was investigated in two low-mountainous river basins near the city of Trier, southwest Germany. Longitudinal profiles during low and high flow conditions were sampled in order to identify sources of solutes and to characterize the alteration of flood wave properties during its travel downstream. Numerous hydrographs and chemographs of natural f...

A study on antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria and physicochemical characteristics of water and sediment in mangrove environment of Muthupettai, Southeast coast of India was carried out during April 2006 March 2007. Six stations in and around the mangrove sites were selected for sampling and the following parameters were recorded at monthly intervals temperature, pH, salinity, disso...

A new diffractometer system was designed and built for the G2 experimental station at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source CHESS . A six-circle goniometer, which provides better access to reciprocal space compared to Eulerian cradles, was chosen primarily to perform large angle Bragg diffraction on samples with preferred crystallographic orientations, and can access both horizontal and ve...
