Robert Sedgewick’s passion is computers technology and was gifted with the proficiencies to teach it to ambitious students. Robert Sedgewick began his career in computer science at IBM and is presently a professor at Princeton University. Sedgewick has written over 16 books computer science algorithms and various programming languages processes and procedures. Sedgewick first book in 1982, simply titled Algorithms cover compilers technology, and was followed by Algorithms 2nd Edition, Algorithms

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia as botanical name in the family of Cucurbitaceae) is a widely popular vegetable grown extensively in several parts of India and in countries like Africa, China, Caribean and Southeast asian regions(Cefalu et al,2008) and (Cousens, 2008).Bitter gourd is a herbaceous climbing annual with ridged stems that grows up to 5 metre long. The plant usually grows on trellis 180 cm in height and has a hairy stem with numerous branches and dense foliage. The main varieties of

(Jones 2000) causing the yellow Sigatoka; since then it is present in most banana-growing regions, and it has been a problem in high altitudes and cool temperatures (Mouliom-Pefoura et al., 1996). Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the black Sigatoka or black leaf streak, was first reported on the island of Fiji in 1963, even though isolates were more diverse in the Papua New Guinea – Philippines region indicating the center of origin of this pathogen (Stover, 1978). In less than two decades since it was discovered

In this experiment, lab partners observed standing waves as presented by a sonometer. Students observed the relationships between frequency and length at a constant mass, frequency and tension at a constant length, and tension and linear density at a constant frequency. Our results were reasonable and indicated that the relationships for the first two parts were linear which means as the length decreases, frequency will increases at a constant tension and as tension increases, the squared frequency

Introduction Biogeochemical cycles are important to the sustainability of all life. Chemical elements necessary for the growth and reproduction of all organisms have a limited quantity on earth at any one time, other than the occasional meteor that brings with it new matter. It is therefore important that the recycling of these chemical elements is efficient. Autotrophs are the basis of almost all ecosystems. The rate that autotrophs produce and transfer energy is vital to the capacity of organisms

A Day in the Forest It was a calm, overcast day, and I found myself resting at the side of a large oak tree, admiring the beauty of the woods that surrounded me. The sunless sky covered the woods over the treetops which created a canopy over my head. The crimson and auburn foliage was a magnificent sight, as this was the season known as Fall. There was a gentle breeze, creating the single sound of rustling leaves. The leaves appeared as though they were dying to fall out of the

Transpiration and Leaf Resistance By: Bernina Berber Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process, and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants), especially in leaves but also in stems, flowers and roots. Stomata are dots with openings on

All too often, homeowners and gardeners wage war in their lawns and gardens against the plants that grow incredibly well there, but that aren't intentionally planted, and many times, the justification for these battles all comes down to the words we use to describe them. When we buy and plant packets of common flower, vegetable, or herb seeds, we spend a lot of time, energy, and water in our efforts to get those seeds to germinate and grow, and take pride in our green thumb and homegrown food supply

Rubber trees, or scientifically known as Hevea Brasiliensis from Euphorbiaceous family, are particularly prevalent in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, southern part of India and the southwestern part of Sri Lanka [1]. Today, rubber tree has been the main source of natural rubber for use worldwide. It has high export potentials and is rated as one of the most profitable Agri-industrial ventures [2]. Asian’s well known Rubber tree boards are (RRIM) (Malaysia), RRII (India), RRIC (Sri Lanka), and BPM
