Hall Effects on scale hierarchy in MHD turbulence
No full textDirect numerical simulations of MHD turbulence with and without uniform magnetic field are carried out to study the Hall effects on scale-hierarchy in MHD turbulence. It is observed that vortex and current sheets are filamented either by the Kelvin- Helmholtz instability or magnetic reconnection in case of Hall MHD turbulence, while the filamentation is not observed without the Hall term. We show that the filamentation occurs not only for scales smaller than the ion skin depth, which is indicated by the Hall parameter, but also for scales larger than the ion skin depth, affecting turbulence statistics. It is also shown that the Hall effects can be modelled by a Smagorinsky-type model effectively for high wave number regions

The cultivation of mycorrhizal mushrooms - still the next frontier!
No full textEdible mushrooms fall into three broad groups: the saprobes which grow on animal wastes and/or dead plant material, the pathogenic species that grow on living plants or animals, and the mycorrhizal species that grow in an intimate association with the roots of suitable host plants. While the vast majority of the world’s mushroom market is filled by the saprobic mushrooms, the aromas and flavours of the mycorrhizal species remain unrivalled – and often have prices to match.
The first cultivation of a mycorrhizal mushroom dates back to the early 19th Century when Pierre Mauléon and later Joseph Talon in France stumbled upon a method for Tuber melanosporum (Périgord black truffle). They found that by transplanting seedlings from under a Périgord black truffle producing tree into a new area, eventually they also produced truffles. This method remained the mainstay of the truffle industry in Europe until the early 1970s when a new method of producing truffle mycorrhized plants was devised using spores as the inoculum. Subsequently spore inoculation techniques were also found to work with Rhizopogon rubescens (shoro). However, this method has not been a success with any of the aboveground edible mycorrhizal mushrooms.
For a handful of the aboveground mycorrhizal mushrooms, inoculating with cultures have proven the only effective way of producing mycorrhized trees in nurseries and fruiting bodies in plantations, for example, Lactarius deliciosus (saffron milk cap). The production of mushrooms of the mycorrhizal species Lyophyllum shimeji (honshimeji) in pure culture must be regarded as an anomaly as these methods have not been successful for any other species of edible mycorrhizal mushroom.
The vast majority of the 1000 plus species of mycorrhizal mushrooms remain uncultivated and progress has been anything but spectacular. It is not possible to summarise in this short paper the 1000 pages in Taming the Truffle (Hall et al. 2007, 2009) and the new book on edible mycorrhizal mushrooms by Zambonelli and Bonito (2012) and instead briefly outlines the current state of our knowledge, the problems we now face, some reasons for failures, and suggests a vision for the future
Arizona's vulnerable populations
No full textabstract: Arizona’s vulnerable populations are struggling on a daily basis but usually do so in silence, undetected by traditional radar and rankings, often unaware themselves of their high risk for being pushed or pulled into full crisis. Ineligible for financial assistance under strict eligibility guidelines, they don’t qualify as poor because vulnerable populations are not yet in full crisis. To be clear, this report is not about the “poor,” at least not in the limited sense of the word. It is about our underemployed wage earners, our single-parent households, our deployed or returning military members, our under-educated and unskilled workforce, our debt-ridden neighbors, our uninsured friends, our family members with no savings for an emergency, much less retirement.Arizona Town Hall.

Arizona's economy
No full textabstract: As Arizona pulls itself out of the deepest recession that it has faced since the Great Depression, this 105th Arizona Town Hall is convened to examine Arizona’s economy. In Arizona Town Hall’s fifty-two year history, this is the eleventh time citizens from across the state have come together to reflect on the current state of Arizona’s economy and how best to shape its future.Arizona Town Hall ; 105t

A Study of Seton Hall University and the Attributes of Organizational Adaptation Employed in Fashioning its Catholic Identity and Mission in the Post-Vatican II Era (1966-2006)
No full textThis thesis is the first fully developed and published study of Seton Hall University. It specifically examines the organizational structures of Seton Hall University over a forty year period in light of the tumultuous changes in the Catholic Church and Catholic academia post-Vatican 11. Of particular importance is change that influenced the Catholic identity and mission of the university. The author examines the central problems arising from the changes influenced by the actions of the Vatican Council as well as the concerns expressed by Catholic academic, namely, academic freedom and the issues of higher education governance. These two factors spearheaded the eventual changes in the identity and mission of Catholic higher education forever. The study identifies three distinct time periods in which the university experienced significant life cycle transitions during the forty year study period. Within each life cycle, the author further explores the institutional strengths, strategic choices and symbolic actions of the university. These views of Seton Hall University are modeled using the conceptual framework of change described by organizational adaptation expert Kim Cameron in 1984. Extensive archival research clearly validates the processes of Organization Adaptation described by Cameron as being evident throughout this forty year study period. Likewise, Seton Hall\u27s transformation from a small, commuter diocesan-run university in 1966 to a national Catholic university committed to the advancement of Catholic culture and thought in 2006 representing the next generation of servant leaders for the Church and society
