Estimativa de graus-dia acumulados no ciclo de frutificação de cultivares de abacateiros (Persea americana, Miller)

De acordo com os dados climáticos da região de cultivo, utilizando-se da somatória de graus-dia acumulados, acima de um mínimo denominado temperatura base, pode-se estimar períodos de desenvolvimento, época de maturação e mesmo épocas de se processar controles fitossanitários. Com essas finalidades, estudou-se o comportamento, com relação ao ciclo de frutificação, das cultivares Pollock, Collinson, Prince e Wagner, em pomares de três regiões climaticamente diferentes do Estado de São Paulo, Novo Horizonte, Limeira e Itapetininga. Para o cálculo da somatória de graus-dia acumulados no ciclo de frutificação dessas cultivares, em cada região, utilizou-se da metodologia de VILLA NOVA et alii (1972) em função das temperaturas máximas e mínimas mensais, dados meteorológicos esses, obtidos na Seção de Climatologia Agrícola do Instituto Agronômico do Estado de São Paulo. Através dos estudos realizados verificou-se que uma determinada cultivar, mesmo sendo cultivada em regiões climaticamente diferentes, requer uma mesma quantidade de graus-dia para completar o seu ciclo de frutificação. Verificou-se que a cultivar Pollock necessita em média, 2513 graus-dia; a Collinson de 3767; a Prince de 4138 e a Wagner de 4480. Dependendo da raça de origem dos abacateiros, pode-se determinar uma faixa de graus-dia acumulados para as diferentes cultivares completarem o ciclo de frutificação. Assim, as da raça Antilhana, consideradas precoces, necessitam de 2164 a 3554; as da Guatemalense consideradas tardias requerem 3729 a 4708 e as híbridas (Antilhana X Guatemalense), de 3278 a 3790 graus-dia acumulados.

Daisy Roots Garden Project

In the summer of 2009 a local Men’s group that met in St Helena’s thought that it might be a good idea to sow a wild garden on the site.  Then came the raised beds – 2 were placed in the garden area opposite the front door of the house and as it was winter there was not much happening and they were quickly renamed the ‘coffins’.  This was the start of ‘Daisy Roots’. Dublin City Council provided top soil and water butts.  An Taisce funded the start up phase of the project and now continue to provide funds for insurance and some development work.  At the right hand side of St Helena’s there is, what was the old stable yard of the ‘big house’.  This had been used to house a large ‘lock up container and a porta-cabin.  These have been now removed and this is where the main part of the garden is. Following a conference of Business in the Community Ireland, DX Ltd expressed an interest in getting involved in a local project.  Together DX staff and the volunteers reclaimed the old stables and gave them new roofs and new doors.  Paths were put in between the raised vegetable beds and new raised beds were built.  A seating area was developed.  The garden is now wheelchair accessible and there are wheelchair accessible flowerbeds in the garden also.  The newest projects in the garden are a memorial flowerbed and a propagator.

Ola Babcock Miller, 1872 - 1937.

Ola Babcock Miller served as Iowa’s first female Secretary of State from 1933-1937, and is perhaps better known as the “mother” of the Iowa Highway Patrol.

Daisy: un libro digital abierto, multimodal y accesible

Se presenta el formato de libro multimedia Daisy que permite integrar texto, sonido, imágenes y vídeo de forma sincronizada y con una navegación avanzada por el texto y el audio que lo hace altamente usable para lecturas en digital. También se presenta su componente principal DTBook xml, disposición estructurada del texto que permite generar formatos alternativos. El artículo detalla las diferencias de Daisy respecto a otros audiolibros, los dispositivos de lectura existentes y su adopción en el mercado y en la enseñanza. Si se abaratan los costes de los aparatos lectores y se soluciona la gestión de derechos digitales, tiene muchas posibilidades de convertirse en estrella para editar libros digitales.

Miller-Fisher syndrome in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis treated with adalimumab.

Adalimumab is a frequently prescribed TNFalpha inhibitor for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. We report on a patient who probably developed a Miller-Fisher syndrome after the second injection of adalimumab.

Looking Back: Historical Hall, 1899-1904; State Historical, Memorial and Art Building, 1905-1999; Ola Babcock Miller Building, 1999-Present, June 2013

For more than 80 years, visitors to the Iowa State Historical, Memorial, and Art Building were treated to the state’s collection of historic documents, literature, portraits, and historical, geological, and archeological artifacts. Those who visited might have memories of the spectacular sand paintings by Iowan Andrew Clemens, the variety of taxidermy Iowa animals, the pioneer Conestoga wagon in the basement, the biplane hanging from the dome ceiling, the odd display by the medical library of things removed from stomachs, or the Native American display on the third floor. This booklet is a look back at the origins of the museum. It includes some of the Historical Department reports, legislation passed by the general assembly, newspaper and magazine articles, and photographs pertaining to the museum and library. It is not intended to be an exhaustive review and documentation of displays and exhibits. It is a brief overview of the building’s history and some photographs that may bring back memories, for some, of a field trip as a student. This booklet has been created from a variety of source materials: photographs, newspaper articles, and various reports. The following have contributed: State Library of Iowa, Iowa State Historical Society, the Iowa Judicial Branch, Susan Wallace, Helen Dagley, Barb Corson, Jerome Thompson, Pam Rees, Georgiann Fischer, and Jason Mrachina.

09032-017 Miller Creek Watershed Final Report

Miller Creek is on the 2006 Section 303d Impaired Waters List and has a 19,926 acre watershed. All indicators, as reported in the Miller Creek assessment, show that the impairment is due to sediment and nutrient delivery from upland runoff which contributes to elevated water temperatures, excessive algae, and low dissolved oxygen levels within the stream. In an effort to control these problems, the Miller Creek Water Quality Project will target areas of 5 tons per acre or greater soil loss or with 0.5 tons per acre or greater sediment delivery rates. The assessment revealed these targeted priority lands make up 32% or 6,395 acres of the Miller Creek watershed. Priority lands include cropland, pasture land, timber, and sensitive riparian areas. It is the goal of this project to reduce sediment delivery by 70% on 60% or 3,837 acres of these priority lands. This will be accomplished through installation of strategically placed structural practices, rotational grazing systems, and buffer strips. These practices will reduce soil loss, reduce sediment delivery, improve water quality, and improve wildlife habitat in the watershed. Utilizing partnerships with NRCS and IDALS-DSC will be important in making this project successful. In addition to using matching funds from EQIP, WHIP, and CRP, the Monroe SWCD is committed to prioritizing local cost share funds through IFIP and REAP for use in the Miller Creek Watershed.
