Site Assessment For Environmental Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
Site Assessment For Environmental Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Restoring degraded desert ecosystems is challenging but it can be done. The first key step is understanding the site history and understanding the disturbance and current site conditions. With this information the appropriate steps can be taken to improve the site ecosystem function and structure.
Container Plants For Desert Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
Container Plants For Desert Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Container planting is essential for most desert restoration work because direct seeding is rarely successful. The containers best suited for desert planting are often taller (deeper) to facilitate root development. Fertilizer management, inoculation, irrigation and pruning can be used to maximize root growth with minimal shoot development.

Interactions Between Pieris Oleracea And Pieris Rapae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) Butterflies, And The Biological Control Agents Cotesia Glomerata And Cotesia Rubecula (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)., Megan V. Herlihy
Megan V Herlihy
Pieris oleracea, formerly Pieris napi, was once a widespread pierid butterfly in New England until the introduction of a biological control agent, Cotesia glomerata. It has been suggested that C. glomerata is responsible for the range reduction of P. oleracea. There are been several introductions of a second more specialized biological control agent, Cotesia rubecula, to the United States since the 1960’s. My first goal was to determine the current distribution and status of P. rapae parasitoids and the effectiveness of C. rubecula as a biological control agent since its release. The findings of a survey I conducted of the …

True Cost Accounting For A Post-Autistic Economy, David A. Bainbridge
True Cost Accounting For A Post-Autistic Economy, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
True cost accounting attempts to include the full cost of products and services in economic consideration. This brings what are often categorized as "external costs" into pricing. The failure to include these social and environmental costs has led to many of our worst crises -- from global climate change to ill health and resource depletion.
Understanding And Using Advanced Statistics, Jeremy Foster, Emma Barkus, Christian Yavorsky
Understanding And Using Advanced Statistics, Jeremy Foster, Emma Barkus, Christian Yavorsky
Emma Barkus
The spread of sophisticated computer packages and the machinery on which to run them has meant that procedures which were previously only available to experienced researchers with access to expensive machines and research students can now be carried out in a few seconds by almost every undergraduate. Understanding and Using Advanced Statistics provides the basis for gaining an understanding of what these analytic procedures do, when they should be used, and what the results provided signify. This comprehensive textbook guides students and researchers through the transition from simple statistics to more complex procedures with accessible language and illustration.
Teaching Ethnobotany In China, Gordon C. Tucker
Teaching Ethnobotany In China, Gordon C. Tucker
Gordon C. Tucker
China has a rich and well documented tradition and diverse usage of plants. China provides examples of the incorporation of plant derived drugs in medicine. The diverse usage of plants is also reflected in the many kinds of Chinese food that are consumed by people of various nations around the world. China is one of the "cradles" of agriculture, the birth place of the cultivation of many important crops, including rice, millet, soybeans, and water chestnuts, and is the only undisrupted major ancient civilization in the world. Some plants find use in almost every aspect of Chinese life, such as …

Pigments For Improving Plant Health In Organic Systems, Gregory Keith Bartley Jr.
Pigments For Improving Plant Health In Organic Systems, Gregory Keith Bartley Jr.
Gregory Keith Bartley Jr.
Photosynthesis, arguably the most important biological process on earth, solely relies on the ability of pigments to capture, utilize, and convert the sun‟s energy to form life. The adequate conversion of light into harvestable food, fuel, and fiber regulates rates of population and economic growth. In order to meet the expanding needs of humanity with the earth‟s potential for agricultural production, new sustainable techniques for increased photosynthetic efficiency in plants must be implemented. The earth's pattern of light exposure is extremely dynamic, exhibiting constant changes in quantity and quality throughout time and space. For photosynthetic organisms, this meant evolving various …

Indian Sport Policy,Their Implementations And Its Loopholes, Biplab Kumar Lenin
Biplab kumar Lenin
Sport is no longer confined to proverb like “all work no play makes Jack a dull boy” rather it’s a tool to extend international diplomacy, showcasing economic might and maintain youth culture in the society. Common Wealth Games 2010 put India in the same League of Nations capable of organizing mega sporting events showcasing their economic muscle power. No doubt CWG has made the billion populations proud after the spectacular closing event. But consider this: The amount spent games related infrastructure is whooping Rs 55,398 crore of which only Rs 638 crore was spent for training sportspersons. Of the 41 …

An Entrepreneurial Approach To Librarianship, Flora G. Shrode, Jennifer R. Duncan, Wendy Holliday
Flora Shrode
Librarians from Utah State University explain recent efforts to encourage subject librarians to take a more holistic view of their roles. We are shifting from a traditional emphasis primarily on collection development and refocusing on natural connections between collections, instruction, liaison, and reference service. The poster provides background about Utah State University’s situation and explains our approach to analyzing local needs and culture to inform development of a new organizational structure. We describe our vision of subject librarianship, the process by which we assessed librarians’ ideas and goals for performing as subject librarians, and the actions we are taking to …
