Biokinetics and metallothionein‐like proteins response in oysters facing metal challenges in an estuary
Discovery of colored oysters in an estuary in Southern China raised questions on how these oysters could survive in such an unpredictable estuary. In the present study, we conducted a transplant experiment using oysters Crassostrea hongkongensis in the estuary to quantify the changes of metal biokinetics (cadmium and zinc) and the responses of metallothionein‐like proteins (MTLPs). Oysters in ...

Sponges as sentinels: Metal accumulation using transplanted sponges across a metal gradient
To be effective sentinels, organisms must be able to be readily translocated to contamination hotspots. We sought to assess metal accumulation in genetically‐identical explants of a relatively common estuarine sponge, Suberites cf. diversicolor. Explants were transplanted to 7 locations across a metal contamination gradient in a large coastal estuary in south‐eastern Australia in order to ...

The US auto industry: historical background, trade policies, and new challenges
The US trade policy contributed to the Big Three US automakers completely dominating the US and World auto markets. Today, the Big Three no longer overwhelming dominate their major competitors. Foreign 'transplants' have built major production facilities on US soil, while simultaneously the Big Three are investing heavily in production facilities in foreign lands. To further complicate the ...

Dynamics of element accumulation and release of Flavoparmelia caperata during a long-term field transplant experiment
This paper addresses the dynamics of accumulation and release of atmospheric elements in lichen thallus, relating to retention times. The experiment assessed the rates of change of element concentrations in Flavoparmelia caperata collected from a clean site, transplanted to a polluted site and then back-transplanted to the clean site again. The whole experiment took 14 months. Periodically, three ...

Analysis of industrial upgrading in TNC subsidiary: the case study of Japanese TNC transplant in Samoa
Most global literature on topic of 'industrial upgrading' (transfer of knowledge and skills) to firms in developing countries generally assert that overseas buyers (TNC firms) upgrade firms operating in developing countries and argue that all firms in developing countries are being upgraded irrespective of whether they are domestic or TNC owned subsidiaries. This is not always the case. The ...

Precautions before operating the paddy transplanter
A rice transplanter is a specialized transplanter widely used to plant rice seedlings in the paddy field. The machine can both improve the efficiency and quality of rice transplanting. However some questions are claimed by the clients when using the paddy transplanter and we found that most of the problems are caused by the unproper use of the rice planter machine. In the following, we will give ...

Influence of maturity and storage conditions on some mineral contents of lettuce
The effects of maturity and storage conditions on mineral contents of lettuce were studied. Samples of lettuce transplanted 50, 60 and 70 days after sowing were collected from an experimental farm in Nigeria. The samples were stored in the laboratory in a polythene bag of 2 mm thickness and in an open shelf and analysed every two days using the AOAC nutritional guidelines. A one–way ANOVA showed ...

Water use efficiency and productivity of habanero pepper (
Capsicum chinense Jacq.) based on two transplanting datesHabanero pepper production was assessed with drip irrigation and plastic mulch, based on two transplanting dates. The objectives of the study were: (i) to evaluate the effect of two transplanting dates and the use of plastic mulch on water productivity and habanero pepper fruit yield under drip irrigation conditions; and (ii) to determine the profitability and economic viability of the product ...

Things Should be Noticed during Operating Rice Transplanter
Start the engine in the following orders: check whether there is full of oil in the engine; open the oil circuit and then open the throttle; check the whether the clutch is separate and the gear shift level is in the neutral position; start the engine. Before planting the rice seedlings, a test should be made to check whether the machine can transplanter the rice according to the rice ...

A Latin American global player goes to Asia: Embraer in China
Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has transformed itself since privatisation in 1992 to become a world market leader in a high-tech industry traditionally dominated by companies based in OECD countries. In recent years Embraer has also become an aggressive foreign investor – in particular by launching a joint venture in China in 2002. This paper analyses the record so far, considering the ...

Heterosis in switchgrass: Biomass yield in swards
Improving the biomass yield of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) will improve its utility as a dedicated energy crop by increasing both its net and total energy yield per hectare. In a previous space-transplanted study, midparent heterosis for biomass yield was reported for population and specific F1 hybrids of the lowland-tetraploid cultivar Kanlow and the upland-tetraploid cultivar Summer. ...

The optimization of the paddy field irrigation scheduling using mathematical programming
In planting rice, a significant amount of irrigation water is required to prepare the farmlands and do transplanting and this is directly related to the number of machines and workers available; that is, the more the length of plowing and transplanting process due to the lack of required machinery and labor, the more the water volume consumed. Therefore, in such conditions, it is important to ...

An international comparison of school to work transition systems: how best to evaluate outcomes
The school-to-work (S2W) transition system is a key component in creating and maintaining a productive labour force in any economy. Prior research evaluating these systems has focused on the superior outcomes of the German and Japanese systems; especially the German S2W system. Several researchers have suggested that transplanting the German system, to the US especially, will result in an ...

Talk about the Benefits of the Nursery Seedlings
Today I want to talk to you about the benefits of the plug seedlings of the nursery seeding planter. Everyone knows that the plug planter is relatively common in our lives. Using it can bring us many benefits. Below, the editor will briefly explain to you what are the advantages of the tray planter? 1. The main substrates for plug seedlings are peat soil, vermiculite, perlite, and other light ...

Plant regeneration from zygotic embryo-derived embryogenic cell suspension cultures of Ranunculus kazusensis
Culture conditions for high frequency plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from cell suspension cultures of Ranunculus kazusensis are described. Zygotic embryos formed white nodular structures and pale-yellow calluses at a frequency of 84.9% when cultured on half-strength Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). However, ...

Case study - Growers Transplanting, Inc., Salinas, California, USA
“Sidel Systems approached us about six years ago with a proposal to help reduce our natural gas heating bills by installing one of their SRU condensers. I was very skeptical. I had heard claims from vendors for everything from retractable curtains to boiler tubulators and found them to be greatly exaggerated with respect to fuel savings. However, two years ago when we needed to replace a ...

Relationship between water-soluble carbohydrates in fall and spring and vigor of spring regrowth in orchardgrass
To clarify relationships among factors associated with winter stress in orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) concentration, resistance to snow mold, and tolerance to prolonged snow cover were evaluated under both conditions of natural infection and chemical control of snow mold. A total of 18 cultivars from Japan, Europe, and the United States were transplanted ...

Sodium uptake of Iris wilsonii and its photosynthetic responses to high-salinity stress in microcosm submerged beds
In order to investigate the performance of Iris wilsonii in high-salinity wastewater, seven microcosm submerged beds were built with rectangular plastic tanks and packed with marble chips and sand. Each submerged bed was transplanted with six stems of I. wilsonii. The submerged beds were operated in a 7-d batch mode in a greenhouse with artificial wastewater for three 42-d periods. Influent ...
