The Willamette Valley (WV) race of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) is being widely planted for timber in the Willamette Valley, western Oregon, because it grows in habitats that are either too wet or too dry for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Compared to the eastern Cascade Mountains (CM), the WV has 3...
In the study of any developmental process, whether in plants, animals, or other models, it is prudent to consider the developmental position of the subjects being measured. This is generally not taken into consideration in grapevine studies despite a growing body of literature documenting that fruits within clusters develop and...
In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...

Increases in wheat production due to breeding may be reaching
a plateau. The application of N-fertilizer beyond optimum levels
leads to lodging and to an increase in tiller death. The use of
plant growth regulators (retardants) may be an answer for future
increases in production.
Experiments were conducted in 1983...
In this thesis, we develop a simulator for estimating the energy consumed in executing tasks on a mobile device - the Palm Pilot. We measured the energy consumed by each instruction of the device's assembly language and incorporated these measurements into a public domain emulator for the Palm Pilot. This...
According to the objective of stock recovery defined at the summit of Johannesburg, the optimal management of fisheries requires adequacy between the available resource and fishing capacity. However, matching this objective with another goal of economic and social sustainability is also of major importance. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methods are...
