Common Insect Pests And Diseases On Vegetables In The Home Garden, Harald Hoffmann, Stewart Learmonth, Peter Wood

Bulletins 4000 -

Home gardeners frequently see insect pests and diseases affecting their vegetables. Usually they would have seen them in previous seasons, and the symptoms look familiar. However, there are occasions, when an unusual pest (not native to Western Australia) can occur. Exotic pests are a concern for the farming community, as they could threaten the agricultural and horticultural industries and increase the price of production and cost to the consumer.

This bulletin describes the most common insect pests and diseases in home vegetable gardens.

Groundwater Trends In The Kent-Frankland Sub-Region, Arjen Ryder

Natural resources published reports

The South Coast Regional Initiative Planning Team (SCRIPT) has divided the South Coast region of Western Australia into six sub-regions. Kent-Frankland covers the catchments of the Frankland, Gordon and Kent' Rivers. Approximately two-thirds (450,000 ha) has been cleared for agriculture. This publication describes the groundwater trends, risk of shallow watertables, and technical feasibility of salinity management on agricultural land.

Soil-landscape zones are spatial units based on geology and geomorphology. Since most groundwater processes in WA are controlled by the geologic and regolith properties, these zones can be used for allocating hydrological attributes, such as groundwater characteristics and trends. The hydrological …

Portrait Of An Angler, Zak Haselmo

Theses and Dissertations

My thesis consists of a series of sketches. Each is on fishing. Emphasis is placed primarily on style, in which I experiment with language through imagery, through modulation of rhythm and shifting scale of perspective. Given these three elements, the substance of the sketches lies heavily on each one's philosophical as well as moral import (as demonstrated by the actions and thoughts of the characters themselves) along with the execution of stylistic devices relevant to each sketch. Finally, the sketches are written in reference to other nature writers, from Walton to Hemingway (along with Turgenev, Thoreau and McGuane), in which …

Fine Sediment Minds, Nicole Lee

Theses and Dissertations

This novel, primarily set in North Dakota, explores the complexities of several relationships, including strengths and limitations within them. Central to these is the growing cultural practice of sport as religion. In many ways, our culture has shifted from [sic] churchgoing one to one that is drawn, in an ever-increasing way, to sport as a religion, one in which "the Sunday game" replaces traditional worship. The elements of worship, however, are still present and entered into, often in large arenas, by devotees. Another theme is the element of departure. Can one leave and then come home again, as Thomas Wolfe …

Palestinian Refugees In Gaza, Susan Martin, John G. Warner, Patricia Fagen

Fordham International Law Journal

Events since Arthur Helton's death - including the change in leadership of the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli proposal for disengagement from Gaza make it even timelier to examine some "practical solutions." For improving Palestinian lives in the short term, much can be learned from the approaches taken in other refugee situations. This Article begins with background information on Palestinian refugees in Gaza. It then discusses Israeli plans for disengagement from Gaza. In the following section, the Article reviews options for addressing the problems faced by Palestinian refugees in Gaza, utilizing the broader literature devoted to the integration of refugees …

Return Seen From A European Perspective: An Impossible Dream, An Improbable Reality, Or An Obstruction To Refugee Policy?, Joanne Van Selm

Fordham International Law Journal

The central theme of this Essay is that both individuals in need of protection and governments obliged to grant protection to those in need generally hold the eventual return of citizens to their countries of origin to be the ideal scenario. However, this ideal cannot always come to fruition -- not only due to circumstances in the country of origin, but also as an unintended consequence of policy decisions taken by governments concerning the protection of refugees (or indeed internally displaced persons ("IDPs")) and the reactions of individuals to the outcomes of those policy decisions. Return, it will be suggested, …

Homeless For Generations: Land Rights For The Chocoe Indians From Mogue, Panama, David E. Cahn

Fordham International Law Journal

Vaporiso knew that the lack of land ownership in his tribe was a great part of the Chocoes' suffering, and he felt that violence was the only way to rectify the problem. Agenda 21 requires member State governments to strengthen national dispute-resolution arrangements in relation to the settlement of land and resource-management concerns. Convention No. 169, which became legally binding on member States in 1991, provides indigenous people with the right to decide how they wish to develop the lands they occupy and use, and set their own priorities for those lands. Convention No. 169 also provides protection from people …

The Efta Court: An Actor In The European Judicial Dialogue, Carl Baudenbacher

Fordham International Law Journal

The vertical dialogue with the national courts of the EEA/EFTA States, in particular the Supreme Courts, has assisted the EFTA Court in developing its case law concerning effect and State liability. Through this jurisprudence, EEA homogeneity in the field of effect and State liability has been maintained. The EEA Main Agreement has been implemented in the domestic legal orders of the EFTA States. EEA secondary law is being implemented in an ongoing process. The same holds true for the rulings of the EFTA Court. There has, to this writer's knowledge, never been a case in which a national court refused …

Citizens Cannot Stand For It Anymore: How The United States' Environmental Actions In Afghanistan And Iraq Go Unchecked By Individuals And Non-Governmental Organizations, Wynne P. Kelly

Fordham International Law Journal

As the U.S. government's reach and responsibilities expand, it remains unclear exactly what, if any, input the general populations of Afghanistan, Iraq, or the United States have on government actions. The environmental needs of the two States have concerned the world enough that the United Nations Environment Program ("UNEP") has published a detailed post-conflict report on Afghanistan ("Afghanistan PCA") and a "Desk Study" of the environment in Iraq ("Iraq Desk Study"). There are four basic ways that citizens can attempt either to enjoin U.S. government environmental action abroad or compel the government to adhere to established regulations and agreements: (1) …

The Augustinian Just War Tradition And The Problem Of Pretext In Humanitarian Intervention, Thomas H. Lee

Fordham International Law Journal

I will try to show how the present laws of war might be viewed as consistent with the Augustinian just war tradition. The modern international legal regime, codified in the Charter of the United Nations ("U.N. Charter"), permits States to engage in war only in "individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations;" or pursuant to a determination by the U.N. Security Council of "existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression," and Security Council authorization of the use of force "to maintain or restore …

War, Violence, Human Rights, And The Overlap Between National And International Law: Four Cases Before The South African Constitutional Court, Albie Sachs

Fordham International Law Journal

Both violence and international norms on human rights have become globalized. Formerly rigid systems of sovereignty become porous as the enemies and the friends of the rule of law show equal and opposite disregard for State boundaries. Judges in national courts are obliged to put aside their usual textbooks and cases, and open their eyes to legal scholars and commentators like Brownlie and Cassese. Four cases in the ten-year history of South Africa's Constitutional Court have exemplified these points. In each the Court was under pressure because of time--in three because events were unfolding so rapidly, and in one because …
