Hsu, C. L., Hoepting, C. A., Fuchs, M., Smith, E. A., and Nault, B. A. 2011. Sources of Iris yellow spot virus in New York. Plant Dis. 95:735-743. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) has been found consistently in commercial dry bulb onion fields throughout New York State since 2006. Yearly recurrence of IYSV may result from annual reintroductions of the virus or persistence of the virus in overwinte...

When growing different transgenic herbicide-resistant oilseed rape cultivars side by side, seeds with multiple herbicide resistance can arise, possibly causing problems for the management of volunteer plants. Large-scale field experiments were performed in the years 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 in order to investigate the frequencies and the consequences of the transfer of herbicide resistance genes...

Identifying locations where onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), overwinter and subsequently disperse is important for designing control strategies. In upstate New York from 2003 through 2006, potential overwintering sites in the commercial onion, Allium cepa L., cropping system were investigated early in the spring before onion seedling emergence and again late in th...

cancer, with a high rate of mortalities worldwide, pose a major threat to human health. although family history accounts for at least 5-10% of all cancers, it is conferred to be as a significant risk of developing cancer. recently, application of high speed and low cost high-throughput nucleotide sequencing technologies has provided an opportunity to assess cancer risk in at risk healthy indivi...

Volunteer Computing is a low cost and easy deployable solution for scientific projects that require large amounts of computational power. Volunteer computing public access capabilities comes with several security threats to the projects, thus, this projects must be designed and focused towards security in order to be able to stand against this threats. The following paper presents a summary of ...

Between about 1964 and 1969, drug consumption was embedded into the transnational networks of a countercultural youth underground. In London, the high mobility of the underground members was evoking a deep-rooted fear of a casual way of life. The West Berlin underground was much more politicized than its London counterpart. In West Berlin, until the last third of the 1970s, there was no coordin...

Understanding volunteer motives is especially important today. This article describes five unique motivations to volunteer. Written by Kimberly Wiley, Chelsea DeMasters, Colin Dobbins, and Caroline Casola, published the UF/IFAS Department of Family, Youth Community Sciences, May 2023.

J. Eeon. Entomol. 73: 8-11 (1980) Postharvest samples of cull tubers and volunteer plants in commercial potato fields provided a large food resource for Phthorimaea opercu/ella (Zeller) during noncropping periods. In commercial, spring-planted fields sampled in 1977 and 1978, 27.6 and 74.3 surface culls/ 100 m2 and 1092.9 and 1670.0 subsurface culls/100 m2, respectively, were recovered 2 months...
