Which Kind of Science Is Construction Management?
No full textIt is argued that the mainstream views on the nature of construction management are insufficient, and as one consequence of this, the relevance of construction management has been questioned. As a solution to this situation, construction management is suggested to be repositioned as a design science, rather than as an explanatory science. A historical consideration reveals that design science equals to one of the sciences proposed by Aristotle, however, the suggestion of Aristotle has been forgotten. Thus, there has been a long-standing neglect of the design science, which explains the present fragmentation of this field. It is argued that this redefinition of construction management will solve several problems plaguing this discipline, including the problem of relevance

Tree architecture, flowering and fruiting - Thoughts on training, pruning and ecophysiology
No full textTraining and pruning protocols are developed to improve orchard profitability, especially yield quantity and quality, and regular bearing. This paper gathers two sets of results in the apple. At the whole-tree scale, we showed that the training system efficiently affects fruit quality in a given year, but its effect on regular bearing depends on cultivar. These results together with a common expertise developed in past experiments and in private orchards suggest that there are 'plastic' cultivars for which usual pruning and training protocols are able to improve regular bearing, and 'nonplastic' cultivars for which alternate bearing is less influenced by pruning and training. At the shoot scale, the relationships between the length of a shoot and the frequency of terminal flowering and fruiting strongly suggest that all relations between vegetative and reproductive growth should clearly distinguish flowering and fruiting. Indeed, flowering appears more genotype-dependent than fruiting. These findings have consequences on the way we prioritize research on tree structure and function. Most ecophysiological studies of sink-source relationships in fruit-trees are strongly influenced by models developed in annuals. They implicitly assume a competitive balance between vegetative growth and fruiting, and strive to achieve high partitioning of carbon to the fruit. In fruit-trees with complex architectures such as the apple, and especially for cultivars with an alternate-bearing pattern, vegetative growth can be completely decoupled from fruit production in the off-year. Our objective would rather be to take into account the uniqueness of the fruit-tree, emphasizing the need for collaborative works between morphologists and ecophysiologists on the one hand, and geneticists and breeders on the other hand, with research focused on allocation to bud organogenesis and return-bloom which is a prerequisite for fruit production
In vitro plant regeneration from callus of shoot apices in apple shoot culture
No full textA new reliable protocol for the induction of adventitious shoot formation and plant regeneration from apple callus has been developed. High regeneration frequency was obtained with this method in four different genotypes (Jork9, M26, Gala and McIntosh) and callus maintained regeneration ability for several months. The procedure consists of inducing vegetative shoot apices, excised from in vitro shoots, for 20 days in darkness on an MS medium without glycine, supplied with 17.8 μM BA, 2.7 μM NAA and 250 mg l−1 cefotaxime. The explants are then transferred to a fresh auxin-free medium and given light. Histological studies revealed that all the regenerated shoots originated from callus. Regenerated shoots were multiplied, rooted and successfully established in soil
