## Abstract

Oat varieties have to be evaluated based on data from multiple
environments (year and site) and for multiple traits. From a research
perspective, it is always a question to ask whether few locations can
sufficiently identify the correct genotypes. An equally valid question
is to ask if fewer replicates or bulked samples are sufficient for
determining certain traits. Proper answers to these questions can reduce
test cost and improve breeding efficiency. Analysis of the first year
data of a study in Canada for covered spring oats will be used in this
poster. Breeding lines and check varieties (30 entries) were tested at
10 eastern Canadian locations (4 in Ontario, 4 in Quebec and 2 in
Maritimes) and 3 western Canadian locations (2 in Manitoba and 1 in
Alberta). Yield and grain quality traits were determined on a plot basis
for all sites with some exceptions. Quality traits were estimated based
on NIR prediction. Results show that:1) Repeatability (or heritability)
across replicates were generally high for all traits at most locations,
indicating that replicates may be reduced from 4 to 3 and bulk samples
may be sufficient for accurate determination of most traits. 2) Yield
has the most genotype by environment interaction relative to the
genotype main effects, giving the lowest G/GGE ratio = 0.42 while groat
content and oil gave the highest G/GGE ratio of 0.92 and 0.82
respectively. Other traits had intermediate levels of G vs GGE. To
answer the question of number of sites required for genotype evaluation,
bootstrap of 1000 permutations shows that at least 9 locations are
needed to achieve a guaranteed minimum correlation of 0.8 for yield,
relative to the genotype ranking based on all 13 locations. However,
only 2 locations are needed to achieve this level of reliability for
groat and oil. Four locations would be needed for the same criterion for
protein.

### For Immediate Release

**[Homeowners Urged To Prepare For Wildfires]{.underline}**

XXXX - The Sequoia National Forest urges homeowners who live in or near
wildland areas to act now to protect their homes from wildland fires.

The destructive potential of wildland fires has increased dramatically
in recent years due to drought and increased use. Homeowners who spend
the time and energy to make their homes "fire safe" will not only reduce
the risk of wildfires destroying their home, but will also make it
easier and safer for firefighters to protect the home in the event of a
blaze.

**Here are things that homeowners can do to reduce fire hazards on their
property:**

-   Clear all flammable material from within 30 feet of houses and other
    structures, keep it lean, clean and green. The 30 foot clearance
    will reduce the chance of a wildfire reaching them and provide a
    safety zone or "defensible space" for firefighters to work.

-   Keep the area lean, clean and green throughout the fire season,
    break up continuous layers of vegetation, use fire resistant plants
    where possible.

-   Make sure Liquefied Petroleum Gas Tanks (LPG) have a 10 foot
    clearance of flammable vegetation.

-   Make sure all flammable material is off the roof, decks, and gutters
    are free of debris.

-   Store firewood and other combustible materials at least 30 feet from
    the house and other buildings and make sure they have adequate
    clearance.

For more information contact your local fire department.
**Pressure as a Probe of the Physics of ABO3 Ferroelectrics: Relaxors
and Compositionally Substituted Quantum Paraelectrics**

George Samara

*Sandia National Laboratories*

This presentation will first deal with the relaxor properties and
mechanism for the crossover from normal ferroelectric (FE)-to-relaxor
(R) behavior in compositionally-disordered ABO3 perovskites. Pressure
has provided much insight into the physics of these materials. In
particular, results on many mixed ABO3 oxides have revealed (1) a
pressure-induced FE-to-R crossover, (2) the continuous evolution of the
energetics and dynamics of the R phase with pressure, (3) a spontaneous
R-to-FE transition (in the absence of a dc biasing field) well below the
dynamic glass transition temperature of the R phase, and (4) the
vanishing of this transition with pressure at a critical point. These
phenomena are general features of soft mode ferroelectrics with random
site dipolar impurities, or polar nano-domains, and can be understood in
terms of a large decrease in the correlation length for dipolar
interactions with pressure a unique property of soft FE mode lattices.

We shall also discuss the properties and phase behavior of
compositionally-substituted SrTiO3. The substitution of 18O for 16O in
this quantum paraelectric induces a FE state (Tc = 24K), whereas light
Ca doping produces a relaxor state. Both these FE and R states are
completely suppressed below 1 kbar, and a quantum paraelectric state
re-emerges. The physics will be discussed.
# Dear TC8.10 Member,

The International Alliance for Interoperability, of which ASHRAE is a
member, is developing standard methods of describing HVAC equipment so
that data can be transferred more easily and reliably between computer
applications such as CAD, equipment sizing, cost estimation, energy
calculations etc. The aim is also to support commissioning and O&M as
computer tools become available. We are asking for your help in
reviewing the draft specification for pumps given below. We would like
the list of properties to be complete for the applications mentioned and
to use terminology that is both correct and commonly used. As far as
possible, we would also like to avoid duplication/redundancy.

Scott Fisher has invited me to attend your TC meeting at 2.15 on Monday,
January 29 in Atlanta to answer any questions and get comments back from
the TC. I'd be most appreciative if you would review this between now
and the 29^th^ and write comments on a printed copy that I can collect
at the meeting. If you have any questions before the 25^th^, please
email me at [PHaves@lbl.gov](mailto:Phaves@lbl.gov) or call me at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, (510) 486 6512. If you won't be
at the Atlanta meeting, please fax me your comments at (510) 486 4089,
call me or email me.

<Mary798@yahoo.com>

After graduating from Niagara University with a Bachelor of Science
degree twenty --five plus years were spent in the emergency department
and critical care areas. Educational experience includes educator of a
Level II trauma center and an American Heart Association instructor of
BLS, ACLS, and PALS. Working in the emergency department and
participation in the Emergency Management Committee led to study of
Emergency Management.

The course of study at Adelphi presents input from the Schools of
Business, Nursing, Social Work, the Derner Institute of Advanced
Psychological Studies, and the College of Arts of Sciences. It
introduces the health, legal, planning and leadership courses with hands
on experiences to the practice and creates a basis for
multi-disciplinary approach to the profession.

Presently, working through a grant at Mercy Medical Center, Rockville
Centre New York for the Director of Environment of Care, as an
administrative assistant in Emergency Management. Responsibilities
include disaster plans for the hospital, practice and drills with staff,
and educating the facility on disaster preparedness and execution.

Attending the conference will be an opportunity to take in the
experiences of other students and experienced emergency managers. I look
forward to listening and learning.

Dear Licensee:

This refers to your license renewal application for station KPHO-TV,
Phoenix, Arizona.

Section 73.3526 of the Commission's Rules (Rules) requires broadcast
licensees to maintain a public inspection file containing specific types
of information related to station operations.[^1] As set forth in
Section 73.3526(e)(11)(i) of the Rules, a TV issues/programs list is to
be placed in a commercial TV broadcast station's public inspection file
each calendar quarter by the tenth day of the succeeding calendar
quarter. Where lapses occur in maintaining the public file, neither the
negligent acts nor omissions of station employees or agents, nor the
subsequent remedial actions undertaken by the licensee, excuse or
nullify a licensee's rule violation.[^2]

On June 1, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal
application for station KPHO-TV. In response to Section IV, Question 3
of that application, you certify that, during the previous license term,
station KPHO-TV failed to place in the public inspection file at the
appropriate times, all of the documentation required by Section 73.3526
of the Commission's Rules. In Exhibit 17, you state that during a review
of station KPHO-TV's public inspection file in anticipation of the
instant license renewal application, it was discovered that TV
issues/programs lists for the third and fourth quarters of 1998 and the
third quarter of 2001 were missing. You claimed that copies of these
documents were located in non-public files and placed in the public
inspection file in March and April 2006.

Although we do not rule out more severe sanctions for violations of this
nature in the future, based upon the record before us we have determined
that an admonition is appropriate at this time. Therefore, based upon
the facts and circumstances before us, we ADMONISH you for the admitted
violations of Section 73.3526(e)(11)(i) of the Rules described in
station KPHO-TV's renewal application.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by
First Class and Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the licensee
at the address listed above, and to its counsel, Kevin P. Latek,
Esquire, Dow Lohnes PLLC, 1200 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., Suite 800,
Washington, D.C. 20036.

The OMEGA Science Team

Mars habitability is coupled the presence and persistence of water and
aqueous geochemistry. Recent spacecraft data (MGS, Odyssey, MER) reveal
evidence for the sustained presence of water during Mars' early history,
but in a sulfur-rich, and perhaps acidic, environment. Here we present
new perspectives derived from global mineralogical mapping by the OMEGA
instrument on board the Mars Express mission. OMEGA data (near global
coverage, 352 visible-near infrared spectral bands, 0.3-4.8 km/pixel)
resolve the presence and relative concentration of mafic Fe-bearing
minerals (pyroxene, olivine), hydrated minerals (sulfates and
phyllosilicates), ices, and degree of hydration. We focus here on
hydrated minerals. Fe and/or Mg-rich phyllosilicates (e.g. nontronite),
formed under alkaline conditions, are found in very ancient terrains,
exposed by either impact or erosion. Mg and Ca sulfates, with different
degrees of hydration, are found in three types of sites: deposits in
Valles Marineris, extended areas in Terra Meridiani and dunes near the
northern polar cap. In general deposits of sulfate are younger than
phyllosilicate. No hydrated mineral deposits younger than Hesperian are
found. We define three eras for the mineralogic evolution of Mars: a)
phyllosilicate formation during the earliest era, with abundant water
and alkaline conditions b) sulfate formation during the second era, with
much lower water availability diminished atmosphere, and intense
volcanism and c) cold, dry era persisting to the present. Under this
model, conditions most favorable for habitability would have existed in
the first era. Thus the search for astrobiological targets of interest
should focus on these phyllosilicate-rich areas.

#### Quantification and Reactivity of Cellulose Reducing Ends

Phone: 541-737-6513; Fax: 541-737-1877; E-Mail: <Mike.Penner@orst.edu>

This study is aimed at developing methods for the characterization of
CHB-accessible reducing ends on cellulose substrates. These measurements
are important because of the exo-acting nature, and in some cases
reducing-end specificity, of these enzymes. For CBH I, for example, the
measurement of enzyme-accessible reducing ends is likely the most direct
measure of substrate concentration. The number of reducing ends per gram
representative celluloses was determined using colorimetric assays
(Dinitrosalicyclic acid (DNS) and Bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA)) and a
radioisotope assay (NaB^3^H~4~ labeling). Estimates of the number of
reducing ends per unit mass cellulose were found to be dependent on the
assay system (i.e. the DNS and BCA assays gave strikingly different
results). DNS-based values were several-fold higher than those obtained
using the BCA assay. Results from the tritium labeling experiments
suggest that the colorimetric assays provide an indication of the total
reducing ends associated with the substrate. Sodium borohydride
treatments, cold or radiolabelled, provide a reasonable approach for
estimating numbers of solvent-accessible reducing ends. It appears that
30 to 40% of the reducing ends on a typical cellulose substrate are not
solvent accessible, i.e. they are buried in the interior of cellulose
structures and thus not available to exo-acting enzymes, at least in the
initial phase of cellulose saccharification.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 28, 2008

MINUTEMAN MISSILE To Hold

Draft General management Plan Meetings

Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is pleased to announce
scheduling of three meetings for public comment on the site's Draft
General Management Plan. A General Management Plan (GMP) is a long term
document that establishes and articulates a management philosophy for
decision making at national park areas. All national parks are required
by Congress to have current, complete planning documents to give long
term direction for park management.

Site Superintendent Mark Herberger announced approval of the draft GMP
from the National Park Service Washington Office. Herberger said that
"this long-awaited approval now gives us the 'green light' to start the
60-public comment period that will run from [February 29 through April
29.]{.underline} Included in the 60-day period, we are scheduling three
public meetings."

Minuteman Missile's document identifies and assesses various management
alternatives and related environmental impacts relative to site
operations, visitor use and access, resources management, and general
development at the new national historic site. There are four
alternatives presented in this draft. The National Park Service
Preferred Alternative is #4.

Superintendent Herberger said: "Public participation has been crucial to
the successful development of this Draft General Management Plan and
continues to be very important during the review period. Therefore, we
ask for your thoughtful evaluation and comment". If writing, please
address your comments to Superintendent Mark Herberger, Minuteman
