Syngonium podophyllum Schott, commonly referred to as Nephthytis, in commercial chan nels ranks fourth in economic importance in the ornamental foliage industry of Florida and has a sales value of approximately $350,000 annu ally. Of the relatively few diseases which affect Syngonium, a leaf spot caused by Cephalospo rium dnnamomeum Linn has been observed to occur with not uncommon frequency an...

We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between selfdual metrics on 3CP of positive scalar curvature admitting a non-trivial Killing field but not being conformal to LeBrun metrics, and a class of normal quartic surfaces in CP whose equations can be explicitly written down. As a consequence, we show that the moduli space of these self-dual metrics on 3CP is non-empty and diffeomorphi...

BBOSWELL: Boswell: What I admire in Ramsay is his continuing to be so young. Johnson: Why yes sir, it is to be admired. I value myself upon this, that there is nothing of the old man in my conversation. I am now sixty-eight and I have no more of it than at twenty-eight. Boswell: But sir, would you not wish to know old age? He who is never an old man does not know the whole of human life; for ol...

parasitic diseases are harmful and limiting factors in breeding and rearing ornamental fish industry. in this study, 400 apparently healthy ornamental fishes from five species (each species 80 specimens) including: goldfish (carassius auratus), guppy (poecilia reticulate), angelfish (pterophyllum scalare), discus (symphsodon discus) and sailfin mollies (poecilia latipinna) was obtained from a l...

The aim of this paper is to estimate a single reliability system (R = P, Z > W) with strength subjected stress W in stress-strength model that follows power Rayleigh distribution. It proposes, generates and examines eight methods techniques for estimating distribution parameters functions. These are the maximum likelihood estimation(MLE), exact moment estimation (EMME), percentile (PE), leas...

INTRODUCTION Ornamental grasses and sedges have a long history. Are they a new crop? Yes, both old and new at the same time. And a crop that has had a dramatic impact on the appearance of our developed landscape, on the work of landscape architects and planting designers, on nursery producers and landscape managers, and on researchers! Millions and millions of units of grasses and sedges are cu...

BACKGROUND Control of dust mites using extremes of temperature is an alternative to the use of acaricides. In the past we have attempted control by freezing with liquid nitrogen. The present paper deals with the opposite extreme, the use of steam. OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a domestic steam cleaner for the control of dust mites, its effect on mite populations and...

Portugal produces a great diversity of ornamental stones. Besides the internationally known white and pink marbles, also light cream limestones are produced, as well as grey, yellow and pink granites, and dark grey slates. A first exercise is presented on the evaluation of the available resources of ornamental stones in the whole Portuguese territory. The results show a total availability of 41...
