Nontarget injury from glyphosate drift is a concern among growers using non-glyphosate-resistant (non-GR) cultivars. The effects of glyphosate drift on nitrate assimilation and nitrogen fixation potential, nodule mass, and yield of non-GR soybean were assessed in a field trial at Stoneville, MS. A non-GR soybean cultivar 'Delta Pine 4748S' was treated with glyphosate at 12.5% of use rate of 0.8...

Recently, there has been much debate whether niche based models (NBM) can predict biological invasions into new areas. These studies have chiefly focused on the type of occurrence data to use for model calibration. Additionally, pseudo-absences are also known to cause uncertainty in NBM, but are rarely tested for predicting invasiveness. Here we test the implications of using different calibrat...

The study explored the fiscal regulatory frameworks through NRA as an engine of economic growth in Sierra Leone. revealed that revenue mobilization is important device for Government Leone (GoSL) accomplishing its determinations poverty reduction; delivering Agenda Prosperity; building up financial independence; and reaching middle income standing. It also exposed support to perform effective a...

Zinc oxide thin films grown by atomic layer deposition have been subject to great attention over the past few years. In this work, we study ZnO on Si substrates with di-ethyl zinc (DEZ) as metal precursor and H2O or D2O water vapour oxidant. Film composition a function of growth temperature is studied Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) determine Zn areal ...

Abstract In order to study the effects of asphalt regenerators on fatigue properties mixed asphalt, linear amplitude scanning (LAS) test was designed and four types (non-petroleum NRA NRB, petroleum PR bio-oil based BR) were mixed. The VECD theory analysis method used evaluate miscible with different regeneration agents, new old asphalt. results showed that: process regeneration, peak value str...

Widow benefits have been a part of the Social Security program since the 1939 amendments to the Social Security Act (widower benefits were added later). For many years, the Social Security law called for paying a widow(er) a fraction of the deceased worker's primary insurance amount (PIA). However, the worker--while alive--may have received the full PIA as his or her retirement benefit. Over ti...

Surfaces facing the gap between W tiles of ring limiter tokamak T-10 were analyzed after decommissioning using LIBS, SEM/EDA, XRD, TDS, and NRA techniques. Gaps with width 5 mm 0.1 nearly completely covered to their full depths 22 15 mm, respectively, by a deposited film. The film was formed mainly deposition lithium that came from Li transformed in air Li2CO3 Li2O. Carbon volatile hydrocarbons...
