1. "A case to which no parallel exists": The influence of Darwin's Different Forms of Flowers

Author:
Cohen, James I.
Source:
American journal of botany 2010 v.97 no.5 pp. 701-716
ISSN:
0002-9122
Subject:
flowering; plant architecture; evolution; ecology; flowers; methodology; researchers
Abstract:
... Premise of the study: Research on the subject of heterostyly is often traced back to 1877 when Charles Darwin published the landmark book The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species. This book synthesized heterostyly research at the time, much of which Darwin conducted, and it continues to be a major contribution to the study of the breeding system. In this book, Darwin discussed ...

2. "A starving belly doesn't listen to explanations": Agricultural evangelism in colonial Zimbabwe, 1900 to 1962

Author:
Leedy, Todd H.
Source:
Agricultural history 2010 v.84 no.4 pp. 479-505
ISSN:
0002-1482
Subject:
agricultural history; landscapes; Zimbabwe
Abstract:
... Both missionaries and government policymakers in colonial Zimbabwe consciously identified agriculture as an important avenue in establishing broader paradigms of explanation. Missionary promotion of new farming practices inevitably challenged the existing spiritual landscape by insisting that rationalized individual labor could overcome powerful natural forces. This article examines various facets ...

3. "Click polyester": Synthesis of polyesters containing triazole units in the main chain via safe and rapid "click" chemistry and their properties

Author:
Nagao, Yu; Takasu, Akinori
Source:
Journal of polymer science 2010 v.48 no.19 pp. 4207-4218
ISSN:
0887-624X
Subject:
copper; microwave treatment; molecular weight; polyesters; polymerization; thermal properties; triazoles
Abstract:
... Click Cu(I)-catalyzed polymerizations of diynes that contained ester linkages and diazides were performed to produce polyesters (click polyesters) of large molecular weights [(~1.0-7.0) x 10⁴], that contained main-chain 1,4-disubstitued triazoles in excellent yields. Incorporation of triazole improved the thermal properties and magnified the even-odd effect of the methylene chain length. We also f ...

Abstract:
... This paper offers a discussion of A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food, and Culture , the memoir by Chicana writer Denise Chávez. I argue that Chávez experiences the act of eating and preparing Mexican food as a critique of racism and as a way for her to assert her Mexicanidad or "Mexicanness." More importantly, it is her mother's food that instills Chávez with pride in her ethnic heritag ...

... We examine the importance of the maintenance and reinvention of tradition to the food choices described by Mexican-American focus group participants recruited from nutritional health settings in central Texas. The pressures experienced while coping with changes in their food environment, such as shift-work and working outside the home, and transformations experienced in the food production system, ...

Abstract:
... Evaluation is an essential component of any Extension education program. One tool, the pre- and post-test, provides measurable evaluation data. Yet often the answer "I don't know" or all possible answers to a multiple choice question are not included in the repeated measure analysis. Because more than two answers are offered, the test of marginal homogeneity repeated measure analysis should be use ...

... The purpose of this article is to explore how friendships are "done" through processes of eating together formally within the British context, paying attention to how taste is displayed through food. Existing research on food consumption and social differentiation has in the main concentrated on eating out, but there is little research on entertaining inside the home. Based on qualitative intervie ...

Abstract:
... The weaning time is a crucial period in the management of piglets. The risk of development of post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) in piglets is high. PWD is the cause of serious economic losses in pig herds. Since 2006, the use of antibiotic growth promoters for prevention of diarrhoeal diseases in piglets has been banned. This measure also led to the investigation of alternative suitable feed supplement ...

At necropsy, whitish to yellow nodules of various sizes were found in the spleen and liver, and fibrinous coelomitis was present in the body cavity. Histopathologically, the granulomas appeared to be typical of avian tuberculosis. In some granulomas, necrotic ...
