This study examined the relationships between business, education, and the economy, and specifically addressed the significant impact that business has had on education and educational policy. A large amount of research exists on the history of school reform and the development of educational policy, but none of the research examined...
A full range of experiments was carried out to investigate the
effects of environmental factors on the terminal bud dormancy in two
high-elevation true fir species, Shasta red fir (Abies magnifica A.
Murr. var. shastensis Lemm.) and noble fir (A. procera Rehd.),
seedlings. Photoperiod, thermoperiod and moisture stress were of...
Many investigators have suggested that current photosynthate
supply can limit adventitious root formation on leafy cuttings.
Accordingly, studies were undertaken to determine the effects of
altering photosynthesis and carbohydrate levels on adventitious root
formation by leafy cuttings of a number of different species.
Pea cuttings rooted at high CO₂ (1800...
Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and
correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The
estimates of these parameters can provide important information for a breeder in the
selection of parents, the most efficient design for evaluation of seedlings and advanced...
There is growing public concern about the high proportion of saturated fatty acids in milk fat; however, feed intake, energy partitioning toward milk synthesis, and milk fat concentrations can decrease when cows are fed high concentrations of unsaturated lipids. The objective of this study was to identify the optimal rate...
Hydrocarbon solvents are widely used in the production of paints, adhesives, dyes, polymers, plastics, textiles, printing inks, agricultural products and pharmaceuticals. While the neuropathic potential of aliphatic solvents was shown in the 1970s, little is known about the neuropathic potential of aromatic solvents. The present study examines such solvents, 1,2-diethylbenzene...
