The Red necked cane borer The red necked cane borer, Agrilus ruficollis (F.), is a buprestid beetle that infests wild and cultivated blackberries and raspberries in the eastern states from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Adults are about 6-7 mm (1/4 inch) long, with an iridescent coppery pronotum. A related species, Agrilus rubicola, may occur concurrently. This species is uniform in color, ranging from copper-colored to iridescent green. On galled plants, there is less live vegetative growth and

elymoides has a height growth between 10 and 45 cm tall where hollow stems, culms, protrude out from the base of the grass. The leaf blade thickness is anywhere from flat to curved ranging from 1 to 6 mm; whereas the complete flower head, or inflorescence of the grass, is a spike ranging from 2 to 17 cm long not counting the bristle-like structures at the end of the leaf. The internodes on each inflorescence structure are between 2 to 10 mm with branching on each side of the stem. The bristle-like

Paper title: Head-To-Head Performance Characterization of Two Multileaf Collimator Tracking Algorithms for Radiotherapy Method Introduction The goal of this study was to compare algorithms’ performance using the span of motion complexity and MLC modulation that may be expected during clinical practice. MLC plans and motion input Selected abdominal/thoracic and pelvic tumor motions were all obtained by Per Polsen [1, 2] as representing characteristic three-dimensional motion patterns for those

Introduction Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, being a key component in the process of photosynthesis and is a part of the chlorophyll molecule. Nitrogen acts to increase the amount of the green chlorophyll in plant leaves which allows them to absorb the optimum amount of sunlight by increasing the surface area of leaves to hold the chlorophyll and optimum amounts of nitrogen in a plant allow it to produce enough foliage in order for it to successfully photosynthesise efficiently

Maggie Morris Leaf Disks: The Rise from Bottom to Top ABSTRACT This experiment demonstrates the effects of pH on the rate of photosynthesis by examining the behavior of leaf disks in different pH solutions under light. In this experiment, we used five different pH levels: pH 5, pH 6, pH 7, pH 8 and pH 9. These solutions were created using a combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Spinancia olcerea or spinach, leaves were used in the experiment to examine the effects of pH on the rate

First we obtained a leaf from our instructor. Then we sketched the leaf and labeled the blade and petiole. The following procedure dealt with a chromatogram. The materials needed are: a pencil, safety goggles, scissors, chromatography paper strip, capillary tube, spinach plant pigment extract

Our lab investigated the morphological characteristics of leaves found in the sun and shade on various species of maple and oak trees around campus. Our null hypothesis was Acer and Quercus acclimate similarly with regards to SLW (specific leaf weight), size, and sinuosity. Our hypothesis was Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity. We tested these hypotheses by picking small sections of a branches from both maple and oak trees. A group was assigned either a maple or an

“Wake up, put shoes on and come downstairs to eat,” my grandmother says as she's opening the curtains in my room. As she walks out the room, she turns around and says “Do you want tortillas with your chorizo and frijoles so I can heat a couple up.” Even though she leaves the room without my answer, in her head, already knowing my answer. I put on a pair of jeans and walk downstairs into the dining room, there was a plate with frijoles, chorizo and tortillas waiting for me. My grandmother brings

Titles and Authors: Transpiration Lab Report By: Ashley Learned, Emma Grau, Grace Krier Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of varying environmental factors on the rate of transpiration. We decided to test the factor of light, and what the rate of transpiration is before and after taking away sunlight. We found that the rate of this process was relatively the same in both the light and the dark areas of the classroom. Discussion: In our lab, we tested our question
