A model of the effect of interspecies competition for light on the daily dry-matter production of competing species is developed. It describes the absorption of light by the component species, accounting for their different ...

The development, growth, water-use and yield of spring (Banks) and winter (Quarrion) cultivars of wheat were measured in response to time of sowing under rainfed conditions. Crop duration shortened in both cultivars (210 ...

Wheat yields in Australia have been correlated with values of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), an index of a major climatic phenomenon known to affect Australian rainfall. The SOI provides the basis for the seasonal ...

The effects of temperature and wetness duration on the infection of pear leaves (Pyrus communis L.) by Venturia pirina were studied by inoculating plants with ascospores and conidia under controlled conditions and in the ...

The influence of moisture, light, and temperature on Venturia pirina ascospore maturation and discharge was studied during 1992-99 in 2 pear-growing regions in Victoria. In each year and site, mature ascospores were trapped ...

This presentation explores how the use of inexpensive technologies, enriched student learning about Arab Women and the Middle East. The goal was to understand that the meaning of gender emerges within disparate political ...

Global learning is defined as the combination of global reach, through the use of modern communication technologies, with global perspectives, achieved through interaction of students and faculty living in different countries ...

Global Learning is best achieved through project-based or other active approaches to learning by teams of people living in countries with vastly different cultures. The definition of "global learning" used here is the ...
