We were unable to do this because of our study design, which did not examine seed set from single bee visits. Nevertheless, this is the first sunflower seed set study to detect an interspecific interactive effect at the community-level rather than at the individual-level. However, despite the importance of these interactive effects on sunflower yield, …

Some small fruit varieties were numbered since this information is proprietary
Moreover, recombination could also occur at genomic regions other than the antibiotic insertion site, as the whole genomic DNA was used as donor to generate these recombinants. However, due to the bias of the method used here that selected recombinants acquiring antibiotic resistance, recombination that occurred at other regions in the genome may not have …

A laurel sumac seedling was placed into each of eight styrene cages per block
Paper sprayed with Tangle Trap sticky coating was placed a) at the base of the plants with a ring of sticky tape around the base of the stem and partially on the stem of the plant to capture any insects crawling down, and b) extending from the base of the plant horizontally outward above the pot surface …

Average numbers of servings were computed for comparative purposes as was done with CDPS
Only 39 cases needed to be top coded to 20 servings. The individual fruit and vegetable items for all 39 cases were examined carefully to make sure that they consisted of believable number of servings, albeit large numbers reported, and all 39 were accepted to remain part of the data file for analysis.The General RDD …
The main model limitations are related to the assumption of 1D flow in a homogenous soil profile
Based on the preferred effective Ks, the highest θc deviation between the RZRT model and HYDRUS is one day. While this is a reasonable error for the hard pan characteristics tested here, it is based on one limited example and cannot be regarded as representative. Using effective soil hydraulic parameters to represent highly-contrast layered soil as …
The bulk soil overlaps are summarised for angiosperms and gymnosperms
Water samples were analyzed for their stable isotopic compositions using Los Gatos DLT- 100 laser isotope analysers for Dorset and Wolf Creek, a Los Gatos Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer for Bruntland Burn and Dry Creek, and a Picarro L2130-I for Krycklan. The precision of the liquid water stable isotope analysis is reported to be better than ±0.1 …

We examine the economic impact of SWD infestations in the California raspberry industry
Data were summarized separately for each of the two years. For each year, a Chi square goodness of fit test was used to examine whether or not there were equal levels of a damage type among three treatment categories within a variety. If there was a significant difference in damage among the three treatments in a …
Tomographic data provided estimates of hydraulic conductivity at a very high spatial resolution
We developed a Bayesian framework that permitted quantitative integration of borehole flow meter data and cross hole geophysical information for estimating the hydraulic conductivity distribution at each pixel along the tomographic cross sections. Figure 2 illustrates the estimates of hydraulic conductivity along two vertical cross sections at the Oyster site, obtained using the Bayesian estimation framework and …
A dynamic theory of PITP will be the subject of another effort
Recently, however, reports regarding the financial difficulties experienced by U.S. agricultural cooperatives have been much more common than news of their successes. In particular, the 2002 bankruptcy of Farmland Industries — a federation of 1,700 independent Midwestern cooperatives and the nation’s largest agricultural cooperative — received considerable media attention. In California, news about cooperatives has …

Farmer-owned reserve stocks and government-owned stocks are each modeled separately
Similar regressions have been reported by Belongia and by Grennes and Lapp, and each study supported neutrality of money growth after intervals of one year or less. Using annual data, Grennes and Lapp found that, once real demand and supply forces were accounted for, there appeared to be no effect of inflation on real agricultural …
