description: The structural and interfacial properties of a nanoscopic liquid drops are assessed by means of mechanical, thermodynamical, and statistical mechanical approaches that are discussed in detail, including original developments at both the macroscopic level and the microscopic level of density functional theory (DFT). We emphasize that any approach, such as classical nucleation theory, which is based on a purely macroscopic viewpoint does not lead to a reliable representation when the radius of the drop becomes microscopic. The so-called mechanical route which corresponds to a molecular-level extension of the macroscopic theory of elasticity, and is particularly popular in molecular dynamics simulation, also appears to be unreliable due to the inherent ambiguity in the definition of the microscopic pressure tensor, an observation which has been known for decades but is frequently ignored. In this vein, we propose a non-local mean-field DFT for Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluids to examine drops of varying size. A comparison of the predictions of our DFT with the recent simulation data based on a second-order fluctuation analysis [J. G. Sampayo et al., JCP 132, 141101 (2010)] reveals the consistency of the two treatments. This observation points out the significance of fluctuation effects in small drops, in contrast to what one observes in the case of planar interfaces which are governed by the laws of mechanical equilibrium. A small negative Tolman length and a non-monotonic behaviour of the surface tension with the drop radius are predicted for the LJ fluid. Finally, the limits of a validity of the Tolman approach, the effect of the range of the intermolecular potential, and the behaviour of bubbles are briefly discussed.

description: We give an example of a compact Levi-flat CR 3-manifold with a positive-along-leaves CR line bundle which is not ample with respect to transversely infinitely differentiable CR sections. This example shows that we cannot improve the regularity of Kodaira type embedding theorem for compact Levi-flat CR manifolds obtained by Ohsawa and Sibony.

The Portrayal of schizophrenia in television: An experiment assessing how viewer attitudes are affected
Creators: name: Lindsey Jo Hand
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The media have been found to be the publics main source of information on mental illness. Schizophrenia is one of the most widely misunderstood, stereotyped and stigmatized mental disorders, and it is no surprise that portrayals of schizophrenia in the media have been found to be very negative in nature. Participants were given a pretest, shown stimulus material, then given a posttest. The pretest and posttest consisted of questions from the Community Attitudes on Mental Illness (CAMI) scale and questions assessing views of dangerousness. Participants viewed an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit in which a man with schizophrenia is depicted as a very dangerous sexual deviant. Results indicated that viewers attitudes were significantly affected by the portrayal of schizophrenia in the episode. Viewers generally tended to support community-based healthcare less and found people with schizophrenia more dangerous after viewing the stimulus material.
The Impact of Quota and Governance Reform on the US Authority in the IMF

Subjects: subject: IMF
subject: Quota and Governance Reform

subject: China

description: The IMF has been criticized for lack of representation and being an instrument of the US. The crisis of trust pushed IMF to initiate series of quota and governance reforms since 2006 to reflect the increasing importance of emerging market countries. While the reforms have apparently increased quotas and voting shares of emerging countries like China, the reforms' impact on the US authority is inadequately informed by empirical data. This paper investigates the reforms' actual impact on the US authority by examining the change of US voting power and the increase of China's influence in the IMF lending process. The change of US voting power is measured by the Banzhaf Index and Coleman Index, and China’s influence in the IMF lending process is examined through the biprobit model with partial observability. The model measures the probability of participating in an IMF program, which depends on decisions made both by the IMF and by the borrowing country. The empirical results suggest that there is a gap between voting shares and actual voting power in a weighted voting system. The voting power of the US is not much affected by the quota and governance reforms, and China has not posed any substantive challenge on the US authority in the IMF. These conclusions have important implications for understanding the stability of the US authority and a power-based international financial architecture.
Latino locales: Does context matter?
Creators: name: Matthew C. Dempsey
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the influence that contextual factors have on the political behavior of Latinos in the United States. I argue that, due to the unique immigration and socialization experiences of Latinos, context will play a role in the political behavior of Latinos. The hypotheses are tested against data collected from a national survey of Latinos conducted in 2006 and the National Election Studies from 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2008. The results of the analysis indicate that context does influence the partisanship of Latinos; however, the effect of descriptive representation for Latinos at the Congressional level does not mirror the experience of African Americans.

title: Viability of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in relation to streamflow regulation in Terrell Creek, Washington
Creators: name: Vasak, Ryan S.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
As salmon and trout populations decline in the Pacific Northwest, emphasis should be placed on restoration of any stream capable of producing salmon and trout. Terrell Creek is a small, dam regulated, independent drainage that historically produced at least four species of salmon and trout. Streamflow, regulated at the Lake Terrell dam, has typically been close to zero during the summer low flow period and probably affected salmon and trout population levels in the Creek. This study was designed to characterize the current fish assemblage in Terrell Creek, estimate coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) smolt production levels, identify factors that limit coho salmon production, explore modifications to stream habitat and their potential impact on coho salmon smolt production, and recommend instream flow levels and management strategies that would increase levels of salmon and trout produced from Terrell Creek. Smolt traps were operated in two consecutive years to determine total salmonid production in the Creek during this period. Summertime streamflows were augmented with water from Lake Terrell. Instream temperatures were recorded during the flow augmentation period, and changes in useable stream area were measured at each discharge. Production of coho salmon, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is low. Coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) may have been extirpated from Terrell Creek. Water temperatures exhibited a general cooling trend from the dam to downstream sites, and rearing habitat increased discharge. This study concluded that 1) a potential increase in coho smolt production levels is possible only with an increase in available rearing habitat, 2) to increase rearing habitat during the critical flow period, flow augmentation must occur, and 3) Lake Terrell is an adequate water source for flow augmentation, in the context of instream temperatures and flow quantity.

description: Spin transport in carbon-based materials has stimulated much interest due to their ballistic conductance and a long phase coherence length. While much research has been conducted on individual carbon nanotubes, current growth and placement techniques are incompatible with large-scale fabrication. Here we report nonlocal spin injection and detection in single wall carbon nanotube networks. We observe spin transport over a distance of 1 um, and extract a spin diffusion length of 1.6 - 2.4 um with an injected spin polarization from CoFe into nanotube network of 18 - 41%. Our observations demonstrate that spin transport is possible in carbon nanotube networks due to the formation of natural tunnel barriers between nanotubes and metallic contacts.

description: In 1967, New Zealand architect James Beard took a year-long professional sabbatical in the US to learn more about regional and landscape planning. Following personal advice from MIT's Kevin Lynch, Beard headed to Harvard University to study toward a Master's qualification in their highly regarded landscape department under Professor Hideo Sasaki. While Beard was able to employ some of his learning in his later career (most notably at Kaitoke Regional Park in the 1970s), Beard returned to a New Zealand that was not yet ready for the broader regional-level consideration of landscape planning and design that he had discovered in his US studies.
Routing in large ATM networks
Creators: name: Harris, Rik
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis describes research on the use of routing algorithms in large ATM networks. The criteria for evaluating the algorithms is presented, then various existing algorithms are evaluated. An algorithm using an investigative routing protocol is described in detail. The research shows that the protocol is suitable for local area networks. The LAN protocol is guaranteed to create connections along optimal paths, does not require the transmission of link state information around the network, is reliable and robust when faced with rapidly changing topology and link state, and requires no time for convergence. This protocol has been implemented and tested using a network simulator. Adding a hierarchical component to the network architecture provides a scalable routing mechanism which exhibits the features of the LAN protocol, but with reduced optimality, sacrificed for the sake of scalability. Both algorithms are presented in this document.

description: В статье исследуется визуализация ключевых смыслов городской идентичности в Перми. Автор отмечает, что пермская идентичность является многозначной и непроявленной, связывая это со стёртостью визуального облика города, отсутствием в нём выразительных памятников архитектуры, а также со множественностью смыслов, часть из которых относится непосредственно к городу, а часть – к Пермскому краю в целом. Помимо этого, обозначаются такие нюансы, как непроявленность в городской среде горнозаводского происхождения Перми, противопоставление исторических памятников и современных арт-объектов. Пермские смыслы нередко представляют объёмные культурные явления, сложно вписываемые в городское пространство. Кроме того, в Перми отсутствует ведущее место презентации городской идентичности, поскольку в городе нет явного центра. При этом автор показывает, что в городской среде фактически сформировались четыре разрозненных исторических центра, которые требуют актуализации. Для того чтобы полностью проявить пермскую городскую идентичность, необходимо сконструировать чёткую систему городских кодов, отбор которых важно проводить с привлечением специалистов, власти и общественности. В качестве варианта предлагается авторская система определения идентичности: корни, смыслы, символы и герои. В заключении подчёркивается, что грамотная визуализация выработанных кодов приведёт к оформлению городской идентичности и станет основой для создания успешного и узнаваемого имиджа города.
Estimating the indirect contribution of sports books: Sports wagering as a driver of other in-house revenues
Creators: name: Abarbanel, Brett L. L.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: Using data from a repeater market hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, the relationship between sports book and slot machine revenues is examined. Daily sports book write and daily slot handle are compared over a 250 day period. Though many industry leaders theorize that sports book gamblers also wager in slot banks, the results of this research fail to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between sports book write and slot coin-in. In addition, the model used included race book win as an independent variable. Race book win was found to be a highly insignificant indirect contributor to slot revenue volume and was dropped from the model in the early stages of analysis. This study advances literature currently available by establishing the lack of such a relationship and disputing the generally accepted assumption that sports books produce a substantial indirect contribution to other in-house revenues. While the sports book does generate a fairly constant direct profit for the casino, the absolute value of that profit is minimal and the results of the study show there is no indirect profit contribution from sports books to slot machines. Given these results, casino management may want to consider that a large sports book is not an optimal use of casino floor space.
Life beyond nuclear testing the Nevada Test Site

Year: 1999

description: The Nevada Test Site (NTS) has served a crucial role in protecting the nation's
security over the last 50 years. Changing national budgets and fiscal priorities have
signaled dramatic adjustments for the NTS. Following the 1992 nuclear testing
moratorium, the U.S. government has begun to make parts of the NTS available for
private-sector use in an effort to generate money, utilize the Test Site's unique resources
and capabilities, and provide economic development to southern Nevada. The initiative to
attract private industry to the NTS is similar to activities taking place at other nuclear
facilities across the nation. With a change in mission requirements, the question remained
whether the NTS could effectively utilize its unique resources while continuing to maintain
a state of nuclear testing readiness. Although Nevada's local leaders support privatesector
development proposed for the NTS as a means to diversify the state's economy, the
viability of commercialization of this site is an important concern. This qualitative study
examines whether private-sector development is a viable alternative for the NTS.

description: In this paper we propose a robust approach for text extraction and recognition from video clips which is called Neuro-Fuzzy system for Arabic Video OCR. In Arabic video text recognition, a number of noise components provide the text relatively more complicated to separate from the background. Further, the characters can be moving or presented in a diversity of colors, sizes and fonts that are not uniform. Added to this, is the fact that the background is usually moving making text extraction a more intricate process. Video include two kinds of text, scene text and artificial text. Scene text is usually text that becomes part of the scene itself as it is recorded at the time of filming the scene. But artificial text is produced separately and away from the scene and is laid over it at a later stage or during the post processing time. The emergence of artificial text is consequently vigilantly directed. This type of text carries with it important information that helps in video referencing, indexing and retrieval.

description: In the collinear twist-three approach, we calculate for the first time the gluon contribution to double (longitudinal-transverse) spin asymmetry A_{LT} for open charm production in proton-proton collisions measurable at RHIC. Utilizing the Ward-Takahashi identity for the non-pole part of the hard scattering amplitude, we derive a factorized, gauge invariant formula for the asymmetry. The result may be combined with the previous studies of single-spin asymmetry in the same channel and allows for a systematic analysis of three-gluon correlations inside a transversely polarized nucleon.

Superfluid instability of r-modes in "differentially rotating" neutron stars

description: Superfluid hydrodynamics affects the spin-evolution of mature neutron stars, and may be key to explaining timing irregularities such as pulsar glitches. However, most models for this phenomenon exclude the global instability required to trigger the event. In this paper we discuss a mechanism that may fill this gap. We establish that small scale inertial r-modes become unstable in a superfluid neutron star that exhibits a rotational lag, expected to build up due to vortex pinning as the star spins down. Somewhat counterintuitively, this instability arises due to the (under normal circumstances dissipative) vortex-mediated mutual friction. We explore the nature of the superfluid instability for a simple incompressible model, allowing for entrainment coupling between the two fluid components. Our results recover a previously discussed dynamical instability in systems where the two components are strongly coupled. In addition, we demonstrate for the first time that the system is secularly unstable (with a growth time that scales with the mutual friction) throughout much of parameter space. Interestingly, large scale r-modes are also affected by this new aspect of the instability. We analyse the damping effect of shear viscosity, which should be particularly efficient at small scales, arguing that it will not be sufficient to completely suppress the instability in astrophysical systems.

title: Copper-catalyzed diboration of ketones: facile synthesis of tertiary a-Hydroxyboronate esters
Creators: name: McIntosh, Melissa
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
The versatility of the C-B bond in organic synthesis has led to extensive development of new methods for the selective incorporation of boron into organic substrates. The incorporation of boron substituents alpha to heteroatoms provides direct entry into substrates analogous to those formed and utilized in the Matteson homologation reaction. Our group has explored the diboration of various ketones using the (ICy)CuOt-Bu catalyst developed by Sadighi and co-workers. We found that (ICy)CuOt-Bu could be generated in situ using 3 mol % (ICy)CuCl and 5 mol% NaOt-Bu (Scheme 1). This catalyst system was shown to cleanly afford the diboration of various ketones in toluene at 50 °C over 2--22 hours. Treatment of the resulting products with SiO2 provides the corresponding α-hydroxyboronate esters. Products derived from aryl ketones are prone to decomposition during isolation via silica gel chromatography. Protection of alcohols has been achieved in a two step one flask procedure using TBSOTf. Matteson homologation products have been obtained in low yields by homologation of TBSprotected alcohols.

description: Using relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation, we investigate the properties of the neutron-star matter in detail. In the present calculation, we consider not only the tensor coupling of vector mesons to octet baryons and the form factors at interaction vertexes but also the internal (quark) structure change of baryons in dense matter. The relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations are performed in two ways: one is the calculation with the coupling constants determined by SU(6) (quark model) symmetry, the other is with the coupling constants based on SU(3) (flavor) symmetry. For the latter case, we use the latest Nijmegen (ESC08) model. Then, it is very remarkable that the particle composition of the core matter in SU(3) symmetry is completely different from that in SU(6) symmetry. In SU(6) symmetry, all octet baryons appear in the density region below $\sim 1.2$ fm$^{-3}$, while, in the ESC08 model, only the Ξ^- hyperon is produced. Furthermore, the medium modification of the internal baryon structure hardens the equation of state for the core matter. Taking all these effects into account, we can obtain the maximum neutron-star mass which is consistent with the recently observed mass, 1.97 \pm 0.04 M_\sun (PSR J1614-2230). We therefore conclude that the extension from SU(6) symmetry to SU(3) symmetry in the meson-baryon couplings and the internal baryon-structure variation in matter certainly enhance the mass of neutron star. Furthermore, the effects of the form factor at vertex and the Fock contribution including the tensor coupling due to the vector mesons are indispensable to describe the core matter. In particular, the Fock term is very vital in reproducing the preferable value of symmetry energy, a_4 (\simeq 30 - 40 MeV), in nuclear matter.

Calcareous grassland restored by clearance and subsequent sheep grazing show fast recovery of plant functional traits – Results from a 25-year-long experiment

description: In this study, the long-term restoration success of calcareous grasslands was investigated using a functional trait approach. The study site is located in the Swabian Alb, Germany, where a former calcareous grassland patch was restored in the 1990s by clearance of a spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) afforestation and subsequent reintroduction of sheep grazing as mobile dispersal vector. Vegetation development was monitored over a period of 25 years, both on the restored and an adjacent never afforested ancient grassland which is still managed by traditional sheep grazing. Changes in the functional composition of fifteen ecological meaningful traits were investigated by comparing the respective attribute expressions of the restored with the ancient reference grassland for each year of observation. A RLQ-analysis was conducted in order to identify plant functional groups. The comparison of attribute expressions showed that differences between restored and ancient grassland decreased rapidly over time. The greatest differences were found in persistence-related traits (e.g., life span and growth form) while dispersal- and establishment-related traits recovered faster. The clustering of plant functional groups showed similarities with Grime’s CSR-strategy, as cluster analysis grouped species with either ruderal, competitive or stress-tolerant trait attributes. 20 years after restoration, stress-tolerators dominated, while the ruderal cluster could not longer be detected and only a small group of competitive, mostly woody species remained. In 2018, RLQ analysis revealed no differences in the functional composition between restored and ancient grassland. The quick functional recovery is most likely attributed to the reestablishment of the traditional low-intensive grazing management but also to the close vicinity of the ancient grassland as no spatial isolation prevented dispersal of plant species. Hence, the functional trait approach showed that restoration by clearance and subsequent sheep grazing was a suitable management in our study.

Выявлены черты ностальгической реакции на приметы и особенности городской среды Петербурга, показанные в фильмах. Установлено, что образ Санкт-Петербурга создан во всех трёх картинах без акцентирования пафоса парадных ансамблей; в фильмах богато репрезентированы локальные места и объекты. Образ города эволюционирует от мрачного и сурового до лёгкого и позитивного. По каждому из фильмов фанатами созданы обзоры киносъёмочных локаций. Наибольшая по эмоциональности рефлексия прослежена в социальных сетях в виде комментариев на фотопары «было - стало». Отмечаются ретроспективизм и консервативность в ностальгической оценке городской среды.
title: Reading sheet music activates the mirror neuron system of musicians: an EEG investigation.
Creators: name: Behmer, Lawrence Paul
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
Recent brain imaging studies have demonstrated that the mirror system, in addition to becoming active while viewing the actions of others, also responds to abstract visual and auditory stimuli associated with specific actions. Growing evidence suggests that such mappings are learned leading to the hypothesis that the motor system may respond to any stimuli strongly associated to a specific motor response. Reading sheet music is an excellent example in which musicians rapidly and automatically translate arbitrary visual symbols into music by a well practiced series of actions. Here we test the hypothesis that when musicians read sheet music an associated motor program is automatically recruited in the same way as when we observe the actions of others. Using EEG, we measured mu desynchronization in the alpha and beta bands of the sensorimotor cortex while musicians and non-musicians observed various music stimuli. Musicians showed significantly greater mu desynchronization than non-musicians in both alpha and beta bands when observing sheet music and musical performances. Our results demonstrate that mirror neuron activity is not restricted to motor acts and their consequences, suggesting that the symbolic representation of music and its performance activate the mirror neuron system. The implication of these findings is that the learning of a broad range of arbitrary sensorimotor mappings may be represented within the motor system and facilitated by the mirror neuron activity.

description: Gauge mediation provides us with a complete picture of supersymmetry breaking and its mediation within the effective field theories, and thus allows us to discuss consistencies with low-energy particle physics as well as cosmological observations. We study in detail the cosmological evolution of the pseudo-modulus field in the supersymmetry breaking sector and also the production of the gravitinos in the early Universe in a simple (but a complete) model of gauge mediation. Under fairly reasonable assumptions, it is found that there exists a parameter region where dark matter of the Universe is explained by both thermally and non-thermally produced gravitinos, while the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is generated through the thermal leptogenesis.

description: Focus of attention manipulation has been shown to have an effect on learning and performance of movement tasks. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether inducing an external or internal focus of attention while learning a Pilates roll-up had an effect on movement technique acquisition. Movement form, movement time, and distance reached served as dependent variables. Participants (n=22) were assigned to either an external or internal focus group and verbally instructed through 2 sets of 6 repetitions of the roll-up per day over two practice days. A retention test on Day 3 consisting of 2 sets of 6 repetitions without instructions demonstrated the permanent effects of learning and produced no significant group differences. Further research is needed to establish a relationship between focus of attention and complex skill learning in which movement form is emphasized in execution.

inhabitants common experiences. In examining one particular aspect of regional
naturalism in American literature, this study explores the basic tenets of Prairie
Naturalism as defined by three major authors: Hamlin Garland, Willa Cather, and John
Steinbeck. The short stories in Hamlin Garlands Main-Travelled Roads (1891) establish
the foundation of Prairie Naturalism with meticulous attention to daily lives on the plains
and with political strategies to improve the lives of the oppressed. Willa Cathers novels,
O Pioneers! (1913) and My Ántonia (1918), again place national attention on the plains
and provide representational balance with positive and negative aspects of prairie life.
John Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath (1939) gives voice to an otherwise marginalized
population in desperate need of conditional improvement. All three authors works
function first as truthful representations of prairie ecology, economy, and ethnography;
they function second as deconstructive entities against images of the pastoral plains
inhabited by noble yeomen.

description: Phyllosticta citricarpa is the causative agent of citrus black spot (CBS), a cosmetic fungal disease that has been reported in most of the citrus-growing regions of the world. The occurrence of CBS in orchards is predominantly controlled by the application of fungicides during the fruit susceptibility period. Benzimidazoles (benomyl and carbendazim) and toluamides (ethaboxam and zoxamide) are two systemic fungicide classes suitable for the control of CBS in South Africa. Both inhibit proper assembly of the fungal β-tubulin protein during mitosis, and resistance to these fungicides is primarily related to alterations in the binding sites on this target protein. In this study, P. citricarpa isolates with known resistance status were subjected to whole genome sequencing, the mutations conferring resistance to benomyl and zoxamide were examined and allele-specific primers targeting these mutations were developed. The allele-specific multiplex PCR assay for the detection of benomyl resistance in P. citricarpa will eliminate the need for laborious and time-consuming sensitivity assays or DNA sequencing.

description: Soil carbon (C) is an important component in quality assessments and efficient models are required to estimate C rapidly. Accurate C assessments are valuable in monitoring land-use changes. Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy has proved to be a powerful tool for assessing C. The potential of FT-MIR spectroscopy to estimate C was evaluated using the following techniques: (1) three algorithms [partial least squares (PLS)], principal component regression (PCR), and classical least squares (CLS); and (2) disaggregating the dataset into subgroups based on soil depth and texture. The C contents of samples collected in the Johannesburg Granite Dome were determined by dry combustion for comparison. The soils ranged considerably in C (0.123–2.650%), clay (2.80–41.20%), and silt content (8.56–23.75%). Using standard normal variant (SNV), Savitzky-Golay smoothing and PLS, the best-performing model was the horizons subgroup which provided values of root mean square error for prediction (RMSEP) between 0.079 and 0.095%, root mean square error for calibration (RMSEC) = 0.041 − 0.092, r 2 pre = 0.6174–0.8459, r2 cal = 0.6599–0.9778, residual prediction variation (RPD) = 2.404–2.753, and ratio of performance to interquartile range (RPIQ) = 2.667–3.454. The pronounced accuracy of FT-MIR spectroscopy coupled with PLS, pre-processing techniques, and textural subgroups confirms the potential of infrared spectroscopy as an efficient tool for estimating C content. Future studies should investigate the combined effects of FT-MIR spectroscopy and subgroups grouped according to soil types and land-uses when predicting C.

description: A decline in sugarcane yields from Block G (∼400 ha) of GreenFuel’s Chisumbanje Estate in south-eastern Zimbabwe prompted a study on spatial variability of the soil physico-chemical parameters in the 2017–2018 farming season. Using a systematic gridding schema, 123 geo-located soil samples from 16 sub-blocks were extracted from a depth of 0.3 m and analysed for various parameters. The results showed that pH was slightly acidic to alkaline (6.13–7.95) and had the lowest variability (CV ±15%). Low (N, P, Fe and Zn) and adequate (K and Cu) levels of mineral nutrients were also observed. However, some nutrients were highly variable, with P, Fe and Zn revealing the largest variability (CV ±35%). Semivariogram analysis showed a weak (clay, soil organic matter and N), moderate (pH, P, Mn and Zn) or strong (K, Fe and Cu) spatial correlation between the measured and predicted values. To optimise soil fertility and reduce variations, it is recommended that the estate employ variable-rate fertiliser application technologies, nutrient-monitoring systems, and precision satellite-based guidance for machinery. The study generated soil fertility maps using ordinary kriging; this will serve as a future reference for soil test-based fertiliser recommendations, soil fertility monitoring, and identifying spatial variability on the estate.

description: Margaret C. Norton (1891-1984) was the first state archivist of Illinois and a prominent personality in the early history of the archival profession. She made an indelible mark on the history of the early archival profession through her many written works, her work concerning the "nuts and bolts" of the archival profession, her involvement with the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and other organizations. Drawing from numerous influences she was a prolific writer, thinker and worker who held strong opinions at a time when it was not common for women to do so. This thesis uses Norton's personal papers and supplemental secondary resources to analyze the views and writings of this strong woman who was one of the pioneers in her profession.
