Whole Lotta Movin’ Goin’ On, Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

WHEN I LIVED IN California, the hot, dry days of September and October were always referred to as "earthquake weather." Although the term may not be accurate geologically, shaking and moving was the autumnal activity of some of the major California-based information companies. The parent companies of both Dialog and Information Access Company (IAC) announced in September that they would be moving corporate headquarters out of California (see InfoTech, U 10/15/98, p. 25-26). What will it mean for us, their customers?

Sp277-F-Azalea Leaf And Flower Gall, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Home Garden, Lawn, and Landscape

Leaf and flower galls are commonly found on many flowering woody hosts, most often on azalea and camellia. This disease occurs on plants in the Ericaceae or heath family, as well as on some species in the Empetraceae, Lauraceae, Symplocaceae and Theaceae families; including andromeda, arbutus, azalea, blueberry, camellia, huckleberry, Labrador tea, leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata), leucothoe, kalmia (mountain laurel) and rhododendron. Azalea leaf and flower gall, caused by the fungus Exobasidium vaccinii can occur on woody ornamentals growing outdoors in landscape plantings and in greenhouses. Disease is more common on plants growing in humid, sheltered areas with little …

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

Scientists find journals useful, both for their teaching and their research — so useful, in fact, that they are willing to pay for them. If electronic journals prove to be as useful, or more useful, their viability is assured.

Hot Topic: National Guard's Weekend Drills Are Considered Training, Richard Stokes

MTAS Publications: Hot Topics

This Hot Topic discusses the Attorney General's Opinion No. 98-155, which addresses whether National Guard weekend drills are considered training under the law and subject to the military leave provisions of the Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.). According to the Attorney General's opinion, "Weekend training appears to be within the statutory terms of the T.C.A." The term "training" ordinarily would encompass the term "drill." Drill is defined by Webster's dictionary as "the act of training soldiers in the military art ... a kind or method of military exercises." The A.G. cited an Alabama case, Britton vs. Jackson, 414 So.2d 966 (Ala. …

Sp268-Q-Synthetic Motor Oils, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Machinery

Synthetic motor oils raise many questions of quality and price when compared to conventional petroleumbased motor oils. Synthetic motor oils are purported to be much better than petroleum-based oils and the price difference is substantial. Can engine owners justify the increased price for synthetic oils? The following facts and information may assist you in making decisions on selection and use of synthetic motor oils for your lubrication needs.

Synthetic oil is a product made by scientists under controlled conditions. Synthetic oil is a pure, idealized lubricant made from select chemical basestocks and additives. It is engineered to perform under rigorous …

Sp268-I-Oils For 2-Cycle Engines, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Machinery

In 1947, the Society of Automotive Engineers established a standard for motor oils used in four-cycle engines. The standard was updated and changed in 1970 to reflect improvements in oil quality mandated by engine manufacturers. This current rating system for motor oils has assisted consumers in selecting the proper oil for use in their four-cycle engines.

Until recently, there had been no rating system for oils used in two-cycle, air-cooled engines. In fact, many owners of two-cycle engines were using motor oil designed for four-cycle engines. Motor oil will mix well with gasoline and appears to function as well as …

The Impact Of Digital Reference On Librarians And Library Users, Carol Tenopir, Lisa Ennis

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

University reference librarians report a variety of effects, both positive and negative, from the rapid and widespread adoption of electronic media during the last decades. Heightened expectations from students and, to a lesser degree, from faculty are noticed by many librarians. Partly because of media hype about the wonders of the Internet and the ubiquity of the World Wide Web, students expect to be able to answer every question and do every research project online. One major impact of electronic services is the growing need for user instruction. Part of the problem is that there are still many students with …

Pb1610-Flowering Bulbs, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Home Garden, Lawn, and Landscape

A wealth of spring-, summer- and fallflowering bulbs can be used to extend the garden floral display from early spring until late fall. Some of these will be winter hardy and remain in the ground year-round. Others will not survive freezing temperatures and must be replanted each spring. Many are not even true bulbs, but are often sold along side true bulbs in mail order catalogs and at garden stores. The different types of underground storage structures that are frequently called bulbs include corms, tubers, tuberous roots, tuberous stems and rhizomes. These underground storage structures collectively are called “bulb-forms” or …

Sp434d Corn Silage, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Forages

Corn silage is a high-quality forage crop that is used on many dairy farms and on some beef cattle farms in Tennessee. Its popularity is due to the high yield of a very digestible, high-energy crop, and the ease of adapting it to mechanized harvesting and feeding. Corn for silage fits ideally into no-till and double-cropping programs.

The object of silage making is to preserve the harvested crop by anaerobic (without oxygen) fermentation. This process uses bacteria to convert soluble carbohydrates into acetic and lactic acid, which "pickles" the crop. In a well-sealed silo, it can be stored for long …

Sp341-T-Mud Daubers And Cicada Killers, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Insects, Pests, Plant Diseases and Weeds

Mud daubers, mud wasps and cicada killers may become a nuisance when they nest around homes and other structures where people live, work and play. In spite of their formidable appearance, these solitary wasps are not aggressive and controls are rarely needed.
