Sudangrass and sorghum sudangrass crosses are used as warm season cover crops, forage, and silage. When used as a cover crop, their fibrous roots and organic matter contributions improve soil structure; and their rapid, dense growth suppresses weeds.
Buckwheat is not likely to increase
soil organic matter content much
because dry matter production is
relatively low and tissues are succulent
and decompose very rapidly
when incorporated. However,
buckwheat can improve short-term
soil tilth and has been used to
prepare fields for transplants.
Research has identified seven characteristics—value congruence, shared interests, perceived demographic similarity, needs-supplies match, goal similarity, common workstyle, and complementary attributes—on which group members simultaneously evaluate their perceived person-group (PG) fit. Most of extant research has focused on how each characteristic or them as a composite predicts outcomes. However, these variable-centered...
Lithospheric cracking by remotely applied stresses or thermoelastic stresses has been suggested to be the mechanism responsible for the formation of intraplate volcanic ridges in the Pacific that clearly do not form above fixed hot spots. As part of the Gravity Lineations Intraplate Melting Petrology and Seismic Expedition (GLIMPSE) project...
BACKGROUND: Gas stoves emit pollutants that are respiratory irritants. U.S. children under age 6 who live in homes
where gas stoves are used for cooking or heating have an increased risk of asthma, wheeze and reduced lung
function. Yet few studies have examined whether using ventilation when operating gas stoves...

The Alaska recreational charter boat sector has undergone significant change in recent years due in part to several regulatory changes in the management of the Pacific halibut sport fishery, including a limited entry program, harvest controls specific to the charter sector, and a Catch Sharing Plan (CSP) implemented during 2014....
Stressful environmental conditions affect the adrenocortical function of developing animals, which can have consequences
for their fitness. Discovery of the avian stress hormone corticosterone (CORT) in feathers has the potential to broaden the
application of endocrine research in ecological and evolutionary studies of wild birds by providing a long-term measure...
Developmental bisphenol A (BPA) exposure is associated with adverse behavioral
effects, although underlying modes of action remain unclear. Because BPA is a
suspected xenoestrogen, the objective was to identify sex-based changes in adult
zebrafish social behavior developmentally exposed to BPA (0.0, 0.1 or 1 μM) or one of
two control...
