Recurrent problems with peanut seed germination and stand establishment have raised concerns about the potential effects of herbicides on peanut seed quality. Field trials were conducted in south Georgia in 2005 and 2006 to evaluate the effects of imazapic and 2,4-DB on peanut yield, grade, incidence of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and seed germination. Imazapic at 71 g ai ha, applied at 3...

There is a large gap in college enrollment by family income, and there is evidence that this gap is growing. Yet the benefits of a college education, both for the individual and society, are significant. Encouraging college education in general and closing that income gap in enrollment is a long standing policy objective for the United States and Georgia. One policy aimed at closing the income ...

We describe primers and polymerase chain reaction conditions to amplify 21 tetranucleotide microsatellite DNA loci in black bears (Ursus americanus). We tested primers using individuals from two populations, one each in Georgia and Florida. Among individuals from Georgia (n = 29), primer pairs yielded an average of 2.9 alleles (range, one to four) and an average observed heterozygosity (H(O) ) ...

Metallurgy has always played an important role in the almost 4000-year history of Georgia's statehood. Its specificity, development, ups and downs new reincarnations other times places, over again, is main plot this article. The metallurgical centers South Georgia (the Lower Caucasus Range) are considered birthplace iron metallurgy world throughout ancient era a leading markets then world. Howe...

Blueberry replant disease (BRD) is an emerging threat to continued blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) production in Georgia and North Carolina. Since high populations of ring nematode Mesocriconema ornatum were found to be associated with commercially grown blueberries in Georgia, we hypothesized that M. ornatum may be responsible for predisposing blueberry to BRD. We therefore tested the pathogenicity...

abstract the eu neighborhood policy is a road map that will depict the perspective of european :union:’s relations with its neighbors. the membership of the neighbors in the :union: is impossible, because they are confronted with deep domestic and foreign problems, and on the other hand eu’s security, political and economic interests in these countries lead to offering of the eu neighborhood po...

Three North Carolina populations of Belonolairnus longicaudatus differed significantly from three Georgia populations in stylet measurements, the c ratio, the distance of the excretory pore from the anterior end for both sexes; the a ratio for females only; and the total body length, tail length, and spicule length for males only. The Georgia nematodes were stouter, and the females possessed sc...

Introduction Aquatic birds are the main reservoirs of influenza viruses, however pigs represent an essential host in virus ecology as they are susceptible to both avian and human influenza viruses. Circulating zoonotic influenza (A/H7N9, A/H5N1, and A/H3N2v) viruses could mutate into forms easily transmissible from human-to-human and become a public health concern. Georgia is located along rout...

This position paper discusses how the techniques and building blocks in use at the Georgia Tech Mobile Robot Lab could be used to construct an autonomous vacuum cleaner. Previous research at Georgia Tech using the Autonomous Robot Architecture (AURA)[2, has demonstrated robust operation in dynamic and partially modeled environments[3, 12]. Although much of this work has been deployed and tested...
