Poultry Science Association 98th Annual Meeting July 20–23, 2009 Raleigh, North Carolina

Presporangial mycelia of Lagenidium giganteum cultured on sunflower seed extract were encapsulated in calcium alginate and added once (July 18) to outdoor (Raleigh, NC) caged tires, wood and concrete containers populated with first instars of Culex quinquefasciatus or Aedes aegypti. First instars were added twice weekly (for 10 wk) to simulate natural oviposition. The fungus persisted for 10 wk...

, with η ∈ T d , where the coefficients ai, bi are finite range, bounded with bounded second order partial derivatives and the ellipticity assumption infi,η ai(η) > 0 is satisfied. We prove that whenever ν is an invariant measure for this diffusion satisfying the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, then the dynamics is exponentially ergodic in the uniform norm, and hence ν is the unique invariant m...

This article is a modified and expanded version of the British Academy Raleigh Lecture, delivered at Queen�s University Belfast. It argues that historians, as opposed to political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, have neglected history compromise compromises, despite being significant social practice. considers how historians might approach problem compromise, what historical perspective...
