A taxonomic revision of liriopogons (Liriope Lour., Ophiopogon Ker-Gawl) cultivated in the United States is in progress at North Carolina State Univ. Germplasm was obtained from nurseries, botanical gardens/arboreta, and private collectors. Nearly 17% of the germplasm was misidentified to genus; nearly 36% misidentified to species; and nearly 14% received under one name from one source contained mixed germplasm. Preliminary analysis of data indicate a minimum of five species of Liriope and eight species of Ophio-pogon are in cultivation. Six additional taxa have not flowered. Polygonal graph analysis was used to visualize biometrical data and observe relationships among taxa. Additional taxonomic publications for segregation of genera and species of liriopogons, including an inventory of taxa, quantitative descriptions, illustrations, and keys, are in progress.

Contamination Risk

Efetuou-se avaliação preliminar de pesticidas aplicados em plantações de eucaliptos e coqueiros no Nordeste brasileiro quanto ao risco de contaminação de águas superficiais e subterrâneas. Para tanto, foram utilizados os critérios sugeridos pela Agência de Proteção Ambiental dos Estados Unidos (USA), o índice “Growndwater Ubiquity Score” (GUS) e o método de Goss. Os pesticidas Tetradifon, Triclorfon, α-Endosulfan, β-Endosulfan, Sulfato de Endosulfan e Glifosato apresentaram potencial de contaminação das águas que exige monitoramento. Segundo os critérios avaliados neste estudo, os demais pesticidas investigados não apresentaram risco de contaminação. PESTICIDES APPLIED IN EUCALYPTUS AND COCONUT PALM PLANTATIONS: PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS Abstract A preliminary evaluation of pesticides applied in eucalyptus and coconut crops in Northeast Brazil was carried out on the contamination risk of ground and superficial waters. For such, it was used the criteria suggested by the United States Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) and the “Groundwater Ubiquity Score” (GUS), and the Goss method. The pesticides Tetradiphon, Triclorphon, α-Endosulfan, β-Endosulfan, Endosulfan Sulfate and Glyphosate showed considerable potential contamination of waters, which need monitoring. The other pesticides researched didn’t show risk of contamination by following the criteria evaluated in this study.

Preliminary Results

AbstractDuring June 17-27, 1987 observers in Mexico, Chile, Italy, South Africa, Australia and the United States monitored the light output of the prototype variable star, δ Scuti. The goal of the network was to obtain this star’s frequency spectrum. During the campaign, over 17,000 observations were obtained in the Stromgren b and y filters. A preliminary analysis has been performed and the frequencies listed in Table 1 have been tentatively identified.

Industry Needs

Rail transportation and engineering education in the United States was neglected for decades, from a lack of demand for graduates in the field. However, the increase in freight rail transportation volumes, combined with a growing interest in passenger rail development, has reenergized the academic community. Currently, several universities are either investigating or implementing rail-related activities. Because of the long disconnect between the industry and academia, several challenges have arisen about what the rail industry needs and wants from graduates and universities. Challenges include the quantitative and qualitative demands placed on graduates by the industry as well as industry preference for types of education and the perceived benefits from university education and university–industry collaboration. The educational background of current industry employees and its importance to their career selection are also of interest. This paper reports the outcomes of two online surveys of industry employees to bring light to the aforementioned points. More than 1,000 industry employees participated in the surveys that were conducted in 2006 and 2010. The second survey was conducted as part of a collaborative study between the United States and the European Union, allowing direct comparison of opinions between the U.S. and international workforce.
