Many of the late Paleozoic granitoid plutons of the southern Appalachians are composite bodies with coarsegrained amphibole + biotite and biotite varietal facies (Speer et al., 1980). From field relations, these facies appear closely related, and multiple intrusion or differentiation comes to mind as an explanation for the relationship. In the Liberty Hill pluton, the coarse-grained central amp...

In the present study directly comparable speech data produced by German and Swiss German speakers were examined to investigate interdependencies between pitch accent realisations and timing. An auditory and acoustic analysis was carried out to explore the interaction of measured and perceived duration and excursion of f0movement.

Exposure of six wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and one rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivar to 40% relative humidity for 24 hours induced the same degree of freezing tolerance in seedling epicotyls as did cold conditioning for 4 weeks at 2 degrees C.Frost hardiness varietal relationships were the same in desiccation-stressed and cold-hardened seedlings. Drought stress could, therefore, be used as a r...

CB 05022, the medium duration rice culture with the parentage of CO 43/ ADT 39 was developed at Department of Rice, TNAU, Coimbatore. The culture was evaluated at station trials and it gave 21.8% increased yield over ADT (R) 46. This culture was evaluated under AICRIP in irrigated transplanted low land ecosystem as IET 20884 for two years 2006-2008. Under IVT-IM the culture recorded a mean grai...

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is the most important virus disease of cassava and a major food security threat in Africa. Yearly economic losses of up to $100 million USD have been attributed to CBSD. The lack of information on plant-virus interactions has restricted progress in breeding for CBSD resistance. Virus quantification is becoming a major tool for the quick and reliable assessmen...
