As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

Selected fertilizer formulations were assessed for their capacity to enhance growth and nutrition of Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi Grev. & Balf.) seedlings on an acidic and possibly toxic Sierran surface mine when applied three years after planting. In a study encompassing five growing seasons conducted on a semiarid, montane surface mine site on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, seedling ...

The consensus of soil fertility specialists working in the northeast USA was that soil testing and recommendation systems for P needed to be reexamined because of recent changes in soil testing methodology in the laboratory and corn (Zea mays L.) production technology in the field. Soil tests (M-COL, MM-COL, B-ICP, M1-ICP, and M3-ICP) were performed by either colorimetry or inductively coupled ...

Four million hectares of wheat are planted after cotton and rice in Pakistan. Little research has been done on the aronomy of wheat following these crops on a cropping pattern basis. Both of these crops delay wheat planting, and it is estimated that 40–50 kg of wheat grain is lost for every day that planting is delayed past 20 November. Current recommendations for land preparation, fertilizer u...

Interseeding alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) into corn (Zea mays harvested as silage can increase rotation productivity and reduce negative environmental impacts, but the importance of N fertilizer management for successful implementation interseeding system remains unexplored. Nitrogen enhanced leaf chlorophyll content, yield, total content with interseeded conventional solo-seeded at two locatio...

This paper proposes, describes and evaluates a novel theoretical framework for end-to-end video quality assessment of MPEG-based video services in hand-held and mobile wireless broadcast systems. The proposed framework consists two discrete models: A model for predicting the video quality of an encoded signal at a preencoding state by specifying the bit rate that satisfies a specific level of u...
