With the increasing use of computers in the horticulture industry, advisory committees are recommending computer literacy training. Database management software is a tool students can use to enhance the learning of plants and obtain handson experience with computers. Students in an herbaceous plant materials course develop a plant database and create a companion flash card set from printed database records and pictures. Benefits of the project are: Improved memorization of plant information, enhanced information research skills, and use of a tool in later design activities. Other horticulturally related courses, including woody plant materials and pest management, can use the activities to achieve similar benefits.

Almost any public-sector task employing a computer can be accomplished more efficiently with a variety of tools rather than any single one. Basic tools include word processing, spreadsheet, statistics, and database-management programs. Beyond these, Web authoring software, presentation software, graphics, project-planning and -management software, decision analysis, and geographic information systems can be helpful depending upon the job at hand.

Model Database

Currently commercial vehicles technical condition database is isolated between provinces and vehicle model database is a big problem troubling test stations and repair enterprises. The article introduces implementation of the vehicle performance databases and database management software. This system orienting to 4 types of user (commercial vehicles administrative management departments, test stations of multiple performance, vehicle repair enterprises, and vehicle transportation enterprises.) has realized technical performance databases interconnection in 3 provinces and many thousands of records have been imported. 4 kinds of users can perform technical conditions inquiry, statistics and vehicle model inquiry. The system has been applied in 3 provinces for months and goes well. The database can solve the problems troubled test stations and repair enterprises for many years. Ultimately it can help the users to raise safety of commercial vehicles and reduce the probability of occurrence of traffic accidents.

Glassy microspherules, typically 200μm or less in diameter, are well documented from a variety of terrestrial and extraterrestrial sources (Baker, 1959, p 192–198; Glass, 1969; Rost, 1969; McKay, Greenwood & Morrison, 1970; Mueller & Hinsch, 1970; Cross, 1971; O'Keefe, 1980). To these we would add the formation of microspherules of similar habit when wood charcoal is burned in a combustion bomb (Barker, Burleigh & Meeks, 1969; Burleigh, 1973, 1974; Switsur, 1973; Switsur et al, 1974) as a first step in the chemical synthesis of samples for 14C age measurement. The glassy material of these spherules originates from fusion at the high temperatures reached during the combustion, of traces of alkali-metal minerals in the charcoal and silica bodies (phytoliths) within its microstructure. Other materials commonly burned, such as bone collagen, do not yield microspherules. The age and source of the charcoal are immaterial, though different species (and perhaps other woody plant materials) may be more-or-less productive of spherules. Here we give a brief summary of the characteristics of these glassy microspherules, based on optical and scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis.

Abstract Through 11 years, fertilization at planting significantly increased the stemwood volume (outside bark) per loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) on an intensively prepared moderately well-drained fine sandy loam site in northern Louisiana. Four years of herbaceous plant control significantly increased pine survival, and because herbaceous plant control increased survival, it resulted in a significant increase in total stand volume. Woody plant control no longer produced significant results by age 11. South. J. Appl. For. 14(4):173-177.

Purpose: Tree shaping catalog development of practical use: garden chair category; study of the ergonomic aspects of their design, calculation of the time for the formation of tree shaping objects with regard to the plant types. A deeper study of the formation of natural and artistic objects of architectural space, i.e., tree shaping.Design/methodology/approach: Ergonomic analysis, analysis of woody plants compositions in tree shaping, visual-anthropometric analysis, modeling, comparative analysis.Originality/value: 1. Proposed tree shaping catalogs in the category of garden chairs. These catalogs have no analogues in are Russia. 2. The selected woody plants of the West Siberian region, most adapted to humane correction of growth, with the ecological specification in accordance with the following parameters: gas resistance, growth rate, life cycle of a woody plant. 3. Diagrams are suggested for the garden chair dimensions (chair back height, seat width, chair leg height) depending on the woody plant (willow, Tatar maple, bird cherry).Findings: Many identified aspects are can be used in tree shaping: compositional complexity of tree shaping, woody plant type, growth characteristics, and the growing conditions.Practical implications: The obtained results can be used as in a deeper study of new approaches to the formation of open architectural spaces with plant materials.

The possibility of recovering the spent cooking solution with the replacement of the missing amount of lignifying reagents in the oxidative-organic solvent cooking of non-woody plant raw materials (rice husk) with preliminary alkaline treatment and the production of technical pulp with desired properties is shown. Analysis of scientific and patent information revealed that two methods of regeneration are used for regeneration of spent cooking solutions during oxidation-organosolve cooking: azeotropic distillation and return of part of the spent cooking solution for re-cooking with the completion of the missing amount of reagents. For the oxidation-organosolvent cooking non-wood plant materials the most promising is the second option. To avoid the preservation of mineral components in industrial pulp, non-wood plant materials are subjected to alkaline treatment. It has been established that to obtain technical pulp with recovery of the spent cooking solution, it is required two times less acetic acid and 1.7 times fresh water as compared to oxidation-organic solvent cooking under standard conditions with a constant amount of caustic soda.
