Innovation Rules: A Step By Step Approach Towards Identifying New Innovation Opportunities, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, Institute Of Innovation And Entrepreneurship

Research Collection Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This book is organized in three sections. The first section introduces twenty five innovation rules that reflect how innovations have progressed over time. The second section explains how the innovation rules can be used to identify possible innovation opportunities. The third section explains how to choose innovations for commercialization. Pay sufficient attention to each of the Innovation Rules when you read the first section. Each rule captures the introduction and evolution of successful innovations. Each rule is listed on one page and its description on the opposite page. Rules have more than one stage, the initial stage followed by one …

A High-Resolution Melting Approach For Analyzing Allelic Expression Dynamics, Jiazheng Yuan, Muhammad Haroon, David A. Lightfoot, Yvan Pelletier, Qiang Liu, Xiu-Qing Li

Articles

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single base pair mutations that provide new approaches to studies of allele transcript abundances. High-resolution DNA melting curve (HRM) analysis using a LightScanner (Hi-Res Melting system with Idaho's LC Green) provides post-PCR detection of mutations and SNPs in genomic DNA. This study investigated whether the HRM analysis can distinguish alleles among potato (Solanum tuberosum) transcript abundances. Transcript properties of genes encoding seven carbohydrate metabolism enzymes/proteins in various tissues and cold storage durations were studied. The HRM assay measured differential expression of alleles between different organs, between different storage treatments and stages of tubers from the …

Multigeneic Qtl: The Laccase Encoded Within The Soybean Rfs2/Rhg1 Locus Inferred To Underlie Part Of The Dual Resistance To Cyst Nematode And Sudden Death Syndrome, M Javed Iqbal, R Ahsan, Jawad Afzal, A Jamai, K Meksem, Hany A. El- Shemy, David A. Lightfoot

Articles

Multigeneic QTL present significant problems to analysis. Resistance to soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr.) sudden death syndrome (SDS) caused by Fusarium virguliforme was partly underlain by QRfs2 that was clustered with, or pleiotropic to, the multigeneic rhg1 locus providing resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines ). A group of five genes were found between the two markers that delimited the Rfs2/rhg1 locus. One of the five genes was predicted to encode an unusual diphenol oxidase (laccase; EC 1.10.3.2). The aim of this study was to characterize this member of the soybean laccase gene-family and explore its involvement in …

Locus Interactions Underlie Seed Yield In Soybeans Resistant To Heterodera Glycines, U B. Karangula, M A. Kassem, Lalit Gupta, Hany A. El-Shemy, David A. Lightfoot

Articles

In soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) combining resistance to cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines I.) with high seed yieldremains problematic. Molecular markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) have not provided a solution. Sets of markers describing a collection of favorable alleles (linkats) may assist plant breeders seeking to combine both traits. The objective of this analysis was to identify linkats in genomic regions underlying seed yield and root SCN resistance QTL. Used were groups of cultivars selected from a single recombinant inbred (RIL) population derived from 'Essex' by 'Forrest' (ExF). The yield was measured at four locations. SCN resistance …

Mesohaline Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Survey Along The U.S. Gulf Of Mexico Coast, 2001 And 2002: A Salinity Gradient Approach, Joy H. Merino, Jacoby Carter, Sergio L. Merino

Gulf of Mexico Science

Distribution of marine submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV; i.e., seagrass) in the northern Gulf of Mexico coast has been documented, but there are nonmarine submersed or SAV species occurring in estuarine salinities that have not been extensively reported. We sampled 276 SAV beds along the gulf coast in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas in 2001 and 2002 in oligohaline to polyhaline (0 to 36 parts per thousand) waters to determine estuarine SAV species distribution and identify mesohaline SAV communities. A total of 20 SAV and algal species was identified and habitat characteristics such as salinity, water depth, pH, conductivity, turbidity, …

A New Sighting Network Adds To 20 Years Of Historical Data On Fringe West Indian Manatee (Trichechus Manatus) Populations In Alabama Waters, Claire M. Pabody, Ruth H. Carmichael, Lauren Rice, Monica Ross

Gulf of Mexico Science

Recent findings suggest increased use of fringe habitats by the endangered West Indian manatee. To begin collecting fundamental data on population dynamics and ecology of fringe manatees in the northern Gulf of Mexico, we established the Mobile Manatees Sighting Network (MMSN), the first formal network to receive and track manatee sightings in Alabama waters. Comparison of MMSN data with compiled historical data indicated that West Indian manatees are regular seasonal visitors to Alabama waters. Historical (1985–2006) and newly collected data shared consistent distributions, seasonal patterns of abundance in sighting number, and group size frequencies. These data indicate that MMSN was …

The Primacy Of Consciousness: A Triple Aspect Ontology, Joseph Naimo

Philosophy Books

Consciousness – What is it? How does it arise? These are perhaps the two most perplexing questions on the minds of researchers extending across a broad spectrum of disciplinary enquiry. Consider the interested disciplines of cognitive science notably psychology, philosophy, linguistics, quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence and the neurosciences. Cognitive science is the study of intelligence and intelligent systems. Cognitive science attempts to organize and unify views of thought as developed within these distinct disciplines (Sheedy & Chapman, 1995:ix). The concept of consciousness is in one sense readily recognized, putatively held to be that which makes humans different from the rest …

Investigation And Mitigation Of Driver Confusion At Modern Roundabouts, Aemal Khattak, Ram Bishu, Karen Schurr, Gregory Mcknight

Mid-America Transportation Center: Final Reports and Technical Briefs

This research deals with two related issues: investigation and mitigation of roundabout elements that lead to driver confusion, and development of a flexible criteria matrix by which the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) can evaluate arterial intersections to identify good candidates for conversion to roundabouts. The use of modern roundabouts along arterial roadways is relatively new in Nebraska. The first urban arterial roundabout was opened to traffic in June of 2002 at the intersection of 33rd and Sheridan Blvd in the City of Lincoln. Citizens and some professionals were somewhat skeptical of the capability of this roundabout to improve traffic …

Current And Potential Distributions Of Three Non-Native Invasive Plants In The Contiguous Usa, Chad C. Jones, Sarah Reichard

Botany Faculty Publications

Biological invasions pose a serious threat to biodiversity, but monitoring for invasive species is time consuming and costly. Understanding where species have the potential to invade enables land managers to focus monitoring efforts. In this paper, we compared two simple types of models to predict the potential distributions of three non-native invasive plants (Geranium robertianum, Hedera spp., and Ilex aquifolium) in the contiguous USA. We developed models based on the climatic requirements of the species as reported in the literature (literature-based) and simple climate envelope models based on the climate where the species already occur (observation-based). We then compared the …
