The Impact Of Desmodium Spp. And Cutting Regimes On The Agronomic And Economic Performance Of Desmodium-Maize Intercropping System In Western Kenya, M. Kifuko-Koech, P. Pypers, J. R. Okalebo, C. O. Othieno, Z. R. Khan, J. A. Pickett, A. K. Kipkoech, B. Vanlauwe

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Low soil fertility, stemborers (particularly, Chilo partellus) and Striga weeds (Striga hermonthica and Striga asiatica) are major limitations to production of maize in western Kenya. The " Push-Pull" technology ("PPT") has been described as an appropriate innovative technology capable of addressing these constraints. The technology involves intercropping maize with Desmodium and planting Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) around the intercrop, but in the current study a modified PPT was used and Napier grass was not included. Field trials were conducted in two locations in western Kenya during 4 subsequent seasons to test the hypothesis that maize yield, the degree of Striga …

Periodic Structure In The Megaparsec-Scale Jet Of Pks 0637-752, L. E.H. Godfrey, E. S. Perlman

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

We present 18 GHz Australia Telescope Compact Array imaging of the megaparsec-scale quasar jet PKS 0637–752 with angular resolution ~0farcs58. We draw attention to a spectacular train of quasi-periodic knots along the inner 11'' of the jet, with average separation ~1.1 arcsec (7.6 kpc projected). We consider two classes of model to explain the periodic knots: those that involve a static pattern through which the jet plasma travels (e.g., stationary shocks) and those that involve modulation of the jet engine. Interpreting the knots as re-confinement shocks implies the jet kinetic power Q jet ~ 1046 erg s–1, but the constant …

The Voice In The Whirlwind: Lessons For Job -- Randomness And Natural Evil, Richard Carlson

Conference on Philosophy and Theology

The innocent Job suffers, friends are no help, and then Job screams at Yahweh, demanding justice. The first surprise is that Yehweh responds to Job, does not criticize him but tells him he is ignorant, and then gives him a science lesson. The content of that lesson is the second surprise.

Clearing Up Confusions About Religion And Evolution, Brendan Sweetman

Conference on Philosophy and Theology

A number of confusions plague the debate concerning religion and evolution. Included here are the belief that religion and science must be incompatible and the thesis that evolution is evidence for atheism. Clearing up these confusions helps remove obstacles to genuine dialogue, while acknowledging that difficulties remain.

Batchloading Serials And Other E-Resources: An Introductory Workshop, Bonnie Parks

OLAC Conferences

Electronic resources are now a key component of many libraries. We have long known that catalog records for individual resources facilitate discovery and access. However, as libraries continue to increase their acquisition of electronic resources by purchasing packages of serials, ebooks, and streaming media content, cataloging individual titles isn’t always a possibility. Instead, libraries often rely upon outside sources for their MARC records and load records in large sets. This workshop introduces those new to batch record loading to some practical tools and workflow strategies to manage their records more effectively. Topics covered include: what to look for in vendor …

Regulation Of Cytochrome C Oxidase Composition By Oxygen And Oxidative Stress, Jingjing Liu

Open Access Dissertations

Cytochrome c Oxidase (COX) is a multimeric mitochondrial protein complex acting as the terminal enzyme of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC). It catalyzes the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen that is reduced to water. The efficiency of the electron transfer can be modulated in response to oxygen availability by differential expression and assembly into the holoenzyme of subunit isoforms-Cox5a/Cox5b. COX subunit 5 (Cox5) is the homologue of subunit 4 (COX4) in mammals. In both organisms it exists in two isoforms, whose expression is regulated by oxygen. In yeast grown in normoxia, most COX holoenzyme contains the isoform …
