Tef (Eragrostis tef) is a major cereal crop in Ethiopia. Lodging is the primary constraint to increasing productivity in this allotetraploid species, accounting for losses of ∼15-45% in yield each year. As a first step toward identifying semi-dwarf varieties that might have improved lodging resistance, an ∼6× fosmid library was constructed and used to identify both homeologues of the dw3 semi-d...

Due to the negative environmental impact, corporate social responsibility is an important concept in today’s competitive lodging industry. Hotels attribute 75 % of the overall lodging industries consumption of energy, water and non-durable goods. To remain competitive, organizations implement green lodging programs to demonstrate social responsibility. However, the understanding and implementat...

In most European countries tuberculosis mortality has been decreasing during the last few decades, but this decrease has not been uniformly experienced by all age and sex groups (Clarke, 1952; Cheeseman, 1952). Generally, old men as a group have benefited least and this contention is supported in some countries by the trends of notification rates (Cheeseman, 1956; Lowe, 1954; Stocks, 1950; Mini...

Stalk lodging, or failure of the stalk structure, is a serious problem in production maize (corn). Addressing this requires an understanding parameters that influence lodging resistance. Computational modelling powerful tool for purpose, but current methods have limited throughput and do not provide ability to modify individual geometric features. A parameterised model has potential overcome th...

Societal Impact Statement Crop diversification is considered key to ensuring agricultural sustainability and food security. Tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) a cereal crop grown mainly in Ethiopia, where it thrives wide range of environments, including stress-prone habitats. It promising new gaining popularity cultivation research worldwide. Lodging, the greatest factor limiting productivity...

T his feature explores the operation of individual markets. Patterns of behavior in markets for specific goods and services offer lessons about the determinants and effects of supply and demand, market structure, strategic behavior, and government regulation. Suggestions for future columns and comments on past ones should be sent to James R. Hines Jr., c/o Journal of Economic Perspectives, Depa...

Lodging depresses the grain yield and quality of maize crop. Previous machine learning methods are used to classify crop lodging extents through visual interpretation sensitive features extraction manually, which cost-intensive, subjective inefficient. The analysis on accuracy subdivision categories is insufficient for multi-grade lodging. In this study, a classification method was proposed bas...

In 1953, common lodging houses, working men’s hostels, seamen’s boarding houses and hostels for transport drivers and long distance crews were home to 7000 people in Glasgow. Most of the 5000 residents of the common lodging houses would now be called homeless – people having neither reasonable nor secure accommodation. Working men’s hotels, however, had a motley collection of individuals whose ...
