Techniques to measure vegetative maturity and dormancy
of deciduous nursery stock were investigated in red-osier
dogwood. Previous methods which were based on: survival
or tip dieback, change in level of ethylene production,
xylem water potential, and alteration of square wave traces
traces, provided no better indication of dormancy than did...
The process of biological nitrogen fixation involves the enzymic
reduction of atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) to ammonia (NH₃). The
enzyme which catalyzes this reduction, nitrogenase, does not exhibit
a high degree of substrate specificity. It also catalyzes the reduction
of acetylene (C₂2H₂) to ethylene (C₂H₄). The reduction of
C₂H₂ to C₂H₄...
This study had four objectives, the major one being the identification of minimum competencies for volunteer English as a second language teachers in four settings: the Community College, the University, the Elementary/ Secondary School, and the Volunteer Organization. A second objective was to identify the common competencies required by professional...
