Sound waves are very convenient for the investigation of
all wave phenomena with the exception of polarization. They are
particularly useful in connection with microwaves because the
latter's wave length can be easily duplicated with sound waves,
making it possible to obtain the same diffraction pattern for
both when confronted...
Global human population are growing at a very high rate. By the year 2050, food demand is expected to increase by 70%. World wide 805 million people are malnourished. Entomophagy has the potential to provide a solution to impending hunger problems while taking pressure off of our current cropping systems....
Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age
from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding
zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii
[MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest
were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters
and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...
