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.

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 ...

The order encompasses three families (Rickettsiaceae, Anaplasmataceae, and Holosporaceae) and a fourth, family-level cluster, which includes only one candidate species, "Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii," as well as several unnamed bacterial symbionts. The broad host range exhibited ...

Abstract:
... Here we investigated the bacterial endosymbionts of weevils of the genus CURCULIO: From all four species of Curculio weevils examined, a novel group of bacterial gene sequences were consistently identified. Molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that the sequences formed a distinct clade in the Gammaproteobacteria, which was not related to previously known groups of weevil endosymbionts such ...

5. "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

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract:
... 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:
... Low cardiovascular fitness is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adults. The "fit but fat" concept suggests that cardiovascular fitness attenuates risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease independent of body mass index (BMI), even among the obese. However, the proportion of U.S. adults considered both fit and obese is unknown. Thus, the purposes of thi ...

Labour was ordinary with normal presentation, position and posture, yet there was a formation about the size of an ostrich egg. The structure was spontaneously pushed out of the genital tract during ...
