Ecological Aspects of Nitrogen Metabolism in Plants

By: Joe C. Polacco,Christopher D. Todd

Ecological Aspects of Nitrogen Acquisition covers how plants compete for nitrogen in complex ecological communities and the associations plants recruit with other organisms, ranging from soil microbes to arthropods. The book is divided into four sections, each addressing an important set of relationships of plants with the environment and how this impacts the plant’s ability to compete successfully for nitrogen, often the most growth-limiting nutrient. Ecological Aspects of Nitrogen Acquisition provides thorough coverage of this important topic, and is a vitally important resource for plant scientists, agronomists, and ecologists.

Hilltop Drive

By: Joe Jachens

Have you ever wondered how interesting it would be if you were able to go back and live your life all over again? The opportunity to correct all the regrets you have from the life you've lived? Hilltop Drive is the life story of Joe Jachens who, after growing up in what he describes as a perfect childhood, had some very unexpected and serious events occur in his life. It is a story of Jesus walking beside Joe during his life and carrying him during this period when he needed him the most. While continuously referring back to his happy childhood years on Hilltop Drive, Joe shares the pain of his parents' divorce, the story of being a victim of sexual abuse by a friend's brother, turning to illegal drugs, and his diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Joe invites the reader into the intimate details of his life events, what he has learned from them and how they have shaped him into the man he is today. Hilltop Drive will inspire the reader and allow the opportunity for one to reflect on their own life's path. Take a visit to Hilltop Drive where childhood is an age of innocence, where imaginations are wild, life dreams are still attainable, and the most important part of a child's life is simply going outside and playing with their neighborhood friends.

IBM TS7700 Release 4.2 Guide

By: Larry Coyne,Derek Erdmann,Joe Hew,Sosuke Matsui,Alberto Barajas Ortiz,Aderson Pacini,Michael Scott,Chen Zhu,IBM Redbooks

This IBM® Redbooks® publication covers IBM TS7700 R4.2. The IBM TS7700 is part of a family of IBM Enterprise tape products. This book is intended for system architects and storage administrators who want to integrate their storage systems for optimal operation. Building on over 20 years of virtual tape experience, the TS7760 now supports the ability to store virtual tape volumes in an object store. The TS7700 has supported off loading to physical tape for over two decades. Off loading to physical tape behind a TS7700 is utilized by hundreds of organizations around the world. Using the same hierarchical storage techniques, the TS7700 can also off load to object storage. Given object storage is cloud based and accessible from different regions, the TS7760 Cloud Storage Tier support essentially allows the cloud to be an extension of the grid. As of the release of this document, the TS7760C supports the ability to off load to IBM Cloud Object Storage as well as Amazon S3. To learn about the TS7760 cloud storage tier function, planning, implementation, best practices, and support see IBM Redpaper IBM TS7760 R4.2 Cloud Storage Tier Guide, redp-5514 at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5514.html The IBM TS7700 offers a modular, scalable, and high-performance architecture for mainframe tape virtualization for the IBM Z® environment. It is a fully integrated, tiered storage hierarchy of disk and tape. This storage hierarchy is managed by robust storage management microcode with extensive self-management capability. It includes the following advanced functions: Improved reliability and resiliency Reduction in the time that is needed for the backup and restore process Reduction of services downtime that is caused by physical tape drive and library outages Reduction in cost, time, and complexity by moving primary workloads to virtual tape More efficient procedures for managing daily backup and restore processing Infrastructure simplification through reduction of the number of physical tape libraries, drives, and media TS7700 delivers the following new capabilities: TS7760C supports the ability to off load to IBM Cloud Object Storage as well as Amazon S3 8-way Grid Cloud consisting of any generation of TS7700 Synchronous and asynchronous replication Tight integration with IBM Z and DFSMS policy management Optional Transparent Cloud Tiering Optional integration with physical tape Cumulative 16Gb FICON throughput up to 4.8GB/s 8 IBM Z hosts view up to 496 8 equivalent devices Grid access to all data independent of where it exists The TS7760T writes data by policy to physical tape through attachment to high-capacity, high-performance IBM TS1150 and IBM TS1140 tape drives installed in an IBM TS4500 or TS3500 tape library. The TS7760 models are based on high-performance and redundant IBM POWER8® technology. They provide improved performance for most IBM Z tape workloads when compared to the previous generations of IBM TS7700.

Genetic Modification and Food Quality

Genetic Modification and Food Quality

A Down to Earth Analysis

By: Robert Blair,Joe M. Regenstein

The development of recombinant DNA methods has changed the face of the food industry over the last 50 years. Crops which have been genetically modified are being cultivated in more and more countries and this process is likely to accelerate as desirable traits are identified and transferred to appropriate organisms, and they are cleared by the regulatory authorities. However, the technique has its critics who claim that modification of the genome of the plant (or animal) in this way may pose unknown and unacceptable risks to the human consumer. Genetic Modification and Food Quality: A Down to Earth Analysis is the first comprehensive text on how GM production methods influence the quality of foods and feeds, based on a complete and unbiased assessment of the scientific findings. It presents a balanced analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of gene-modified food sources in the human diet. Chapters approach the topic with regard to different food types such as cereal grains, oilseed crops, vegetables, fish and animal products. Assessing the nutritive value as well as the health and safety of GMO foods, this book is a reference for anyone working in the food production industry and will also be of an interest to NGOs, trade associations and consumers who are looking for an objective, balanced study of this contentious issue.

A Field Guide to Common South Texas Shrubs

By: Richard B. Taylor,Jimmy Rutledge,Joe G. Herrera

There are over 281 species of woody plants and 32 species of cacti in the South Texas ecological region. The vast majority of these are found in the lower Rio Grande Valley, which is part of the subtropical Tamaulipan biotic province. Many of the plant species in this area reach their northernmost boundary here. The 44 plants described in this guide represent an estimated 75% of the overall brush biomass of the South Texas ecological region, excluding the lower Rio Grande Valley. The plants are grouped into thorned and thornless categories and alphabetized by family. Distinguishing characteristics have been italicized for easy reference. Similar species are also noted. In this guide, plants are not ranked by importance because their value to animals can differ from ranch to ranch, depending on the plant's availability and the ranch's location, soil type, and land management practices. In case a plant is not found in this guide or more information is desired, a list of additional references is included.
