California accounted for 74% of all raspberry production in the United States

Whereas we see Agnes and Matilda using several imperatives to command Ambrosio’s attention, contemplation, and compassion, Antonia’s quoted imperatives are few and usually physical, and rather than commanding Ambrosio’s body alone , Antonia’s physical imperatives generally make herself the object of the demand, as she tells him, “Let me go!”; “take me from hence!”; “Unhand …

Mycelia were harvested from a total of nine replicate plates for each treatment

Amateur critics now label Parsons’s novel “so bad it’s good” because of its sentimental conventions, but Lewis’s novel has become a “good” bad novel—bold, unruly, and virile, as we might expect from a work that came to be known as the epitome of the “male gothic” subgenre. Online reviews of The Monk praise its sensational …

They rarely make a strong case for the novel meriting attention on its own terms

The novel’s formula and melodrama are the traits that I see as essential to understanding what this novel can offer readers today: a better understanding of how readers learn to feel categorically according to the dictates of their cultural or critical values, and an option for learning to feel in accordance with other norms. In …

No cultivars had fruit that were significantly heavier than Wonderful

Using the race 1 resistance phenotypes observed in our studies and California Strawberry Commission production statistics , we discovered that susceptible cultivars have been planted on 49-85% of the acreage in California over the last eleven years . That percentage has hovered between 55 and 59% since 2014. Hence, susceptible cultivars continue to be widely …

Most participants in both studies also had a college degree or more

As highly educated individuals tend to be more optimistic than those in less advantaged situations , this may have caused some ceiling effects in our ability to induce optimism. There are also reasons to suspect that the intervention effects may vary depending on socioeconomic status or other sociodemographic factors and that our findings may not …

We confirmed the expression of five GRBaV genes in ripening red-skinned berries

Most enzymes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism are encoded by large gene families. There is also high redundancy among these genes, which ensures the functional integrity and plasticity of the phenylpropanoid-related pathways . Therefore, to test the hypothesis that the red blotch-induced transcriptional changes had an actual impact on phenylpropanoid metabolism, we measured the activity of …

A complete granular fertilizer was broadcast-applied at a rate of 400 pounds per acre

Some studies have shown that the effects of consuming whole foods are more beneficial than consuming compounds isolated from the food, such as dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. Because fruit consumption is mainly related to visual appearance, flavor and antioxidant properties, we decided to evaluate fruit quality attributes, antioxidant capacity and consumer acceptance of the early-season …

None of the soil water at any depth overlapped the gymnosperm samples

Xylem water isotopic characteristics differed between angiosperms and gymnosperms at some sites. For δ2 H, they were significantly different for Krycklan, Bruntland Burn and Dry Creek, while for δ18O they were different for Dorset and Dry Creek . Snowmelt plotted on the LMWL and was more depleted for 18O than almost all measured soil and xylem …

There were no differences in intrinsic water-use efficiency between sites

Two leaves per tree and a minimum of three trees per cultivar were analyzed with the infrared gas analyzer. All leaves were collected and leaf area was quantified with a leaf area meter to normalize the photosynthesis data . Only the most recently fully-formed, sun-exposed leaves were selected for this study. Cuvette temperatures were allowed …

Crosby provided a detailed analysis of individual RD and applied it to working women

Drawing on his small-town Methodist boyhood, he knew the words to many of the hymns and was thoroughly familiar with the Old Testament quotations that laced the heated sermon. But the Biblical distortions that flowed from the pulpit upset him. “My God,” he said in a too loud voice to both of us, “has this guy …
