FUSARIUM WILT OF SPINACH

Fusarium wilt of spinach

During the last few years Fusarium wilt of spinach, a disease new to Monterey County and California, has been observed.This disease was first suspected as the cause of severe losses in Mounting Plate a 50-acre field adjoining the Salinas River, 4 miles south of Salinas, in 1967.In 1969 it was positively identified on a ranch in the Moss Landing are

Accurate abundance estimation of cliff-breeding Bounty Island shags using drone-based 2D and 3D photogrammetry

Effective seabird management strategies rely Knife Sharpeners on accurate population estimates, with previous methods typically employing ground counts of a target species.However, difficult and often inaccessible breeding habitats are now able to be explored due to recent technological advancements in Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).This study t

The PSI-20: Development of a Viable Short Form Alternative of the Problem Solving Inventory Using Item Response Theory

In previous studies, problem solving appraisal has been identified as playing a key role in promoting positive psychological well-being.The Problem Solving Inventory is the most widely used measure of problem solving appraisal and consists of 32 items.The length of the instrument, Quilts however, may limit its applicability to large-scale surveys c

Detectable gravitational wave signals from inflationary preheating

We consider gravitational wave (GW) production during preheating in hybrid inflation Quilts models where an axion-like waterfall field couples to Abelian gauge fields.Based on a linear analysis, we find that the GW signal from such models can be within the reach of a variety of foreseeable GW experiments such as LISA, AEDGE, ET and CE, and is close
