TRAP CROP RADISH: A SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR NEMATICIDE IN SUGAR BEETS
Get PDFChemical treatment of nematodes in sugar beets can be very costly ($190 per acre), and hazardous, representing significant environmental risks to air, water and human health. Substituting trap crop radish for chemicals, represents a win-win case of sustainable pest control, yielding environmental benefits, higher profit and reduced risk.Crop Production/Industries,

Audio Interview with Mr. C.J. Rayner Whiteley
No full textAudio - Mr. Whiteley recounts the story of delivering the message of the flood of 1904. He took seventeen hours by horse to travel from Perryvale to Edmonton. Billy Loutit took the same message by foot arriving in Edmonton about the same time. Mr. Whiteley discusses early settlers, farming, homesteading and businesses. He has many anecdotes about life and people living in Athabasca at the start of the twentieth century. He freighted for ten years with the Hudson's Bay Company and also discusses early farming prices and technology extensivelyInformative Interview of Mr. C.J.

The Penultimate Deglaciation in Western Europe: A Case-study from Amsterdam Basin, The Netherlands.
No full textThe Actors' Perceptions and Expectations of their Roles in BIM-based Collaboration
No full textThe inter-organisational collaboration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the hottest topics in construction sector nowadays. The implementation of BIM is a complex inter-organisational process, and the sharing of information among numerous actors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds may affect the actors’ role perception and performance. This study offers insights into the BIM roles of various actors by analysing a BIM-based project carried out by an integrated partnership across many tiers. The analysis identified inconsistencies between the actors' perceptions and their partners’ expectations of their BIM roles. Inconsistencies in BIM roles were more related to soft rather than hard (domain- or technical) skills. Mismatches were found in the architect's role, as it was deemed necessary to be more domain- and BIM-related, contrary to their perceptions. Likewise, the suppliers' role called for an enhanced BIM orientation. The paper concludes with set of suggestions for increasing the joint responsibility and supporting the multi-actor collaboration.Design & Construction ManagementSustainable Housing Transformatio
A high resolution stable isotope record of the penultimate deglaciation in lake sediments below the city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
No full textA detailed record of the deglaciation history of the penultimate glacial to interglacial transition is given, mainly based on the stable isotopes of calcium carbonate-containing lake sediments in a glacially excavated depression below the city of Amsterdam. Initially, this depression, the Amsterdam Basin, formed part of a lake covering the western and central part of the Netherlands and extending for an unknown distance into the present North Sea. Annual layer counting shows that the lake drained after about a millennium, leaving shallow pools in the remaining depressions. The latter changed again into larger and deeper lakes including the Holland Lake during the rise of sea level in the early Eemian. Oxygen isotope values of the early lake sediments indicate an interglacial summer climate, but the nearness of dead-ice fields caused severe winters. The isotope record is furthermore characterized by the influx of large amounts of isotopically light water supplied by the river Rhine. A change to much colder conditions occurred simultaneously with the draining of the Holland Lake, as appears from oxygen isotope values and the sudden increase in non-arboreal pollen. This interval is correlated with the Kattegat Stadial and the sea-level standstill of Aladdins Cave on the Huon Peninsula of New Guinea. A short climate wiggle occurs at the end of this interval. The onset of the Eemian is marked by a rapid warming of ∼5°C which extends into local pollen-zone E3. Provided that our correlation of this cold interval with the sea-level standstill of Aladdins Cave is correct, the time interval between the earliest lake sediments in the Amsterdam Basin and the Eemian highstand took about 5-6 millennia. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
