Coville’s Serendipitous Association with Blueberries Leading to the Whitesbog Connection
No full textWhat led up to the association between Frederick Coville and Elizabeth White? This 26 year association began in 1911 and continued until Coville’s death in 1937. The commercial highbush blueberry industry was born and became established during this period. Frederick Vernon Coville was born March 23, 1867 in Preston, NY, graduated from Cornell University in 1887 and was hired by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a botanist in 1888. His USDA office, labs and greenhouses were in downtown Washington, D.C. Washington’s urban environment was the first of a number of key circumstances that influenced and hastened blueberry domestication and commercialization. Coville was concerned that his four children (Stanley 11, Katherine 9, Cabot 3, and Frederick 1) would never learn the rural skills that he had acquired in his childhood in central New York. This concern was addressed by spending several summer vacations in rural areas of New England. A geologist friend in Washington, Arthur Keith, told him about a farm, next to his parent’s farm, that was for sale near Greenfield, NH. The Covilles bought the 40 acre, former Alexander property, on May 2, 1905. The second key factor was the abundant blueberry populations of, both highbush and lowbush that flourished in the surrounding fields. In 1906, less than a year after coming to Greenfield, Coville said: “that my interest was attracted to the subject of blueberry culture”. Previous attempts by others at establishing plantings had generally been unsuccessful. Coville collected seeds in 1906, and a colleague, George W. Oliver, began germination trials that fall. In 1907, Coville began greenhouse studies in Washington on the requirements for growing blueberries. When he returned to Greenfield in 1908, he brought and planted 179 seedlings that had been grown in Washington. Survival was 97% following a dry summer on the low-pH blueberry soil. The first outstanding bush for using in crosses was selected in July of 1908 in a pasture of his neighbor, Fred Brooks, for whom it was named. This was a very fortunate find, with many berries over 0.5 inches in diameter and with excellent flavor. ‘Brooks’ became a parent or was in the parentage of 13 of the first 15 USDA releases. In the short span of time from 1906 to 1910, he determined that blueberries require a moist but not wet soil and most importantly a low pH. Also determined were nutrient requirements, winter chilling importance, propagation techniques, and breeding procedures including self-sterility and seedling management. All of this information was published in the 101 page Experiments in Blueberry Culture, USDA Bul.193, Nov. 15, 1910. The Whitesbog connection began in Jan. 1911 after Elizabeth White had read Experiments in Blueberry Culture and had written to the USDA offering land and assistance. Commercialization followed this final indispensable key.Paper presented at NABREW Conference, Paper Session II:Blueberry History, on June 25, 2014, Atlantic City, N.J

Focal radius, rigidity, and lower curvature bounds
No full text“This is the accepted version of the following article: Luis Guijarro and Frederick Wilhelm, Focal radius, rigidity, and lower curvature bounds, which has been published in final form at: https://doi.org/10.1112/plms.12113.”We prove a new comparison lemma for Jacobi fields that exploits Wilking's transverse Jacobi equation. In contrast to standard Riccati and Jacobi comparison theorems, there are situations when our technique can be applied after the first conjugate point.
Using it, we show that the focal radius of any submanifold N of positive dimension in a manifold M with sectional curvature greater than or equal to 1 does not exceed π 2 . In the case of equality, we show that N is totally geodesic in M and the universal cover of M is isometric to a sphere or a projective space with their standard metrics, provided that N is closed.
Our results also hold for k th intermediate Ricci curvature, provided that the submanifold has dimension ⩾ k . Thus, in a manifold with Ricci curvature ⩾ n − 1 , all hypersurfaces have focal radius ⩽ π 2 , and space forms are the only such manifolds where equality can occur, if the submanifold is closed.
Example 4.38 and Remark 5.4 show that our results cannot be proven using standard Riccati or Jacobi comparison techniquesThe first author was supported by research grants MTM2011‐22612, MTM2014‐57769‐3‐P, and MTM2017‐85934‐C3‐2‐P from the MINECO, and by ICMAT Severo Ochoa project SEV‐2015‐0554 (MINECO).

Effects of supplemental vitamins E and C on the immune responses of calves
No full textTwo experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of oral supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), alone and in combination, on immune responses of calves. In Experiment 1, 18 Holstein newborn female calves were supplemented with 0, 1, and 2 g/d of vitamin C from birth to 6 wk of age. Concentrations of ascorbic acid in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented calves than for control calves. No significant differences among treatments occurred in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. In Experiment 2, effects of oral supplementation of vitamins E and C on immune responses were studied using 18 Holstein female calves. Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented than for control calves. The concentrations increased from birth to wk 1, and then very little change occurred from wk 1 to 6. Differences among treatments in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, IgM, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were not significant; however, concentrations of IgM in calves supplemented with vitamins E and C generally tended to be higher than those of control calves. Antibodies to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were higher at 6 wk than at 4 wk of age.LR: 20031114; PUBM: Print; JID: 2985126R; 0 (Antibodies); 0 (Antigens); 0 (Immunoglobulin G); 0 (Immunoglobulin M); 0 (keyhole-limpet hemocyanin); 1406-18-4 (Vitamin E); 50-81-7 (Ascorbic Acid); 9013-72-3 (Hemocyanin); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
The unbundling of corporate functions: the evolution of shared services and outsourcing in human resource management
No full textThis article analyses the demand side of business services outsourcing. Using insights from a number of bodies of literature, the article interprets business services outsourcing as corporate restructuring involving the administrative functions of the firm. Propositions are developed around the following. First, the existing corporate structure and the nature of supplier markets affect the paths chosen to create shared business services and to move to outsourcing. Second, the trajectory of the move to shared services and outsourcing affects the distribution of capabilities between users and suppliers. The study examines these propositions through a comparison of human resource outsourcing in two leading consumer products companies, Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Unilever. We find that a relatively high degree of centralization at P&G led it to create an internal shared services center before outsourcing, whilst a more decentralized Unilever utilized outsourcing as an occasion for globally standardizing its systems and processes. The article draws implications of these different paths for core capabilities. Copyright 2010 The Author 2010. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Associazione ICC.
