est in morning (Holt and Hilst, 1969; Orr et al., 1997; Barrett et al., 2001). Herbage SC and digestibility conHerbage soluble carbohydrate (SC) levels vary diurnally and livecentrations also vary seasonally, with generally higher stock intake can be higher for herbage harvested or allocated to animals in the evening than in the morning. Few assessments of SC SC levels in spring and lower level...

Vascular plants of high-elevation cliffs and rock outcrops were sampled on 42 peaks in the Southern Appalachians. Species found were predominantly native, summer-flowering, herbaceous perennials. Species endemic to the Southern and Central Appalachians comprise over 25% of the total flora; species restricted to eastern North America include nearly 50% of the flora. The diversity of biogeographi...

Developing genetic tests that have clinical utility and validated biomarkers presents many challenges. Much has been written about these challenges for the development of genetic test evidence (Khoury et al., 2010; Horn and Terry, 2012) and biomarker validation (Lesko and Atkinson, 2001; Surh, 2009). One consistent thread through these challenges is the lack of well-characterized cohorts. This ...

When reasoning about deontic rules (what one may, should, or should not do in a given set of circumstances), reasoners adopt a violation-detection strategy, a strategy they do not adopt when reasoning about indicative rules (descriptions of purported state of affairs). I argue that this indicative-deontic distinction constitutes a primitive in the cognitive architecture. To support this claim, ...

Staton proved that every triangle-free graph on n vertices with maximum degree three has an independent set of size at least 5n/14. A simpler proof was found by Jones. We give a yet simpler proof, and use it to design a linear-time algorithm to find such an independent set. Let G be a triangle-free graph on n vertices with maximum degree three. By Brooks’ theorem [1] G is 3-colorable; consideri...

Dr. Malcolm Shepherd Knowles popularized andragogy as the theory of adult learning and was referred to as the Father of Adult Education in the United States (US). As his doctoral students, the authors had extensive personal contacts with him. This paper utilizes the method of autoethnography to explore how cross-cultural learning and cross-cultural mentoring facilitate transformative learning w...

Global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and other nutrients are increasingly affected by human activities (Griggs et al., 2013). So far, modeling has been central for our understanding of how this will affect ecosystem functioning and the biogeochemical cycling of elements (Treseder et al., 2012). These models adopt a reductive approach built on the flow of elements between pools that are diffic...

The “Wet Tropics” of Australia host a unique variety plant lineages that trace their origins to the super-continent Gondwanaland. While these “ancient” evolutionary records are rightly emphasized in current management region, multidisciplinary research and lobbying by Rainforest Aboriginal Peoples have also demonstrated significance cultural heritage Tropics.” Here, we evaluate existing archeol...

Learning activities can be considered the final outcome of a complex process inside knowledge intensive organizations. This complex process encompasses a dynamic cycle, a loop in which business or organizational needs trigger the necessity of acquiring or enhancing human resource competencies that are essential to the fulfillment of the organizational objectives. This continuous evolution of or...
