Fungicide and cultivar affect post-anthesis patterns of nitrogen uptake, remobilization and utilization efficiency in wheat

Three successive field experiments (2000/01-2002/03) assessed the effect of wheat cultivar (Consort.. Hereward and Shamrock) and fungicide (epoxiconazole and azoxystrobin) applied at and after flag leaf emergence on the nitrogen in the above-ground crop (Total N) and grain (Grain N), net nitrogen remobilization from non-grain tissues (Remobilized N). grain dry matter (Grain Dill), and nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUtE(g) = Grain DM/Total N). Ordinary logistic curves were fitted to the accumulation of Grain N, Grain DM and Remobilized N against thermal time after anthesis and used to simultaneously derive fits for Total N and NUtE(g). When disease was controlled, Consort achieved the greatest Grain DM, Total N, Grain N and NUtEg; in each case due mostly to longer durations, rather than quicker rates, of accumulation. Fungicide application increased final Grain Dill.. Grant N, Total N and Remobilized N, also mostly through effects on duration rather than rate of accumulation. Completely senesced leaf laminas retained less nitrogen when fungicide had been applied compared with leaf laminas previously infected severely with brown rust (Puccinia recondita) and Septoria tritici, or with just S. tritici. Late movement of nitrogen out of fungicide-treated laminas contributed to extended duration of both nitrogen remobilization and grain N filling, and meant that increases in NUtE(g) could occur without simultaneous reductions in grain N concentration.

Informe de actividades (Progress Report): octubre-diciembre de 1976

Informe sobre las actividades de la sede San Jose del CELADE correspondientes a 1976. Las actividades docentes se centraron en el curso de Analisis Demografico Basico (23 alumnos) y Avanzado (8 alumnos). En el area de investigacion se continuo con el estudio de la mortalidad en los primeros anos de vida en la region y se concluyo el analisis de la Encuesta sobre los determinantes de algunas variables demograficas", complemento de la parte costarricense del Proyecto Estrategias de Desarrollo y Politicas de Poblacion. El documento detalla ademas las actividades de asistencia tecnica y publicaciones del Centro"

Analisi di vulnerabilità sismica dell'ex Macello del comune di Bologna

Analisi di vulnerabilità sismica dell'ex Macello del comune di Bologna, situato nella Piazzetta P.P.Pasolini 5b, nei pressi di Porta Lame. Gli stabili sono oggi sede dei laboratori DMS (Dip. Musica e Spettacolo). Le analisi svolte sono di tipo statico e dinamico per gli elementi in muratura ed in acciaio costituenti le strutture in esame. Nell'elaborato è presentata brevemente la teoria alla base delle analisi effettuate ed i relativi risultati.
