Research has shown that those with insomnia focus primarily on their sleep as a cause of daytime fatigue rather than the multitude of other possible causes of fatigue. This can create sleep-related anxiety and further perpetuate the sleep disturbance. In order to lessen the increased focus on sleep, the present study investigated whether people could learn to consider other attributions for fat...

Remote sensing has been proposed as a method for implementing an inseason spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) nitrogen (N) fertilization program. However, in fields where yields are influenced by both water and N stress, accurate N recommendations require that that the N and water stress signals be separated from each other. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of water and N st...

The Haun, Feekes, and Zadoks-ChanpKonzak developmental stage scales are often used to report phenological information for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) development. Agronomists familiar with one of these scales may have only a passing acquaintance with developmental scales other than the one they consider most appropriate for their purposes. This makes review and interpretation of the literature...
