Tropical forage legumes: harnessing the potential of Desmanthus and other genera for heavy clay soils/ edited by John R. Lazier, Nazeer Ahmad.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.This publication presents the results of the collaborative research, commencing with a report on the collection of a broad range of genetic material of fodder potential in Belize, the Yucatan and Guatemala, the initial evaluation of some of this material in Belize and a brief review of the impact of the collection on forage development over the past 30 years (Chapter 2); in fact this germplasm collection stimulated much of the work reported in this volume. An analysis of the value and potential of Stylosanthes genetic material adapted to heavy clay soils follows. This study mainly focuses on S. hamata and its relatives, and is based in part on collections made concurrently in the Caribbean islands and South America as part of the collaborative programme (Chapter 3). The Belize collections of Desmanthus species stimulated interest in the genus and based on those collections and others made later by other collectors, studies were undertaken on the potential of the genus generally, and specifically for its potential for development for heavy clay soils (Chapters 4 and 5). Chapters 6 through 9 report on the steps undertaken to select and test germplasm for adaptation for the heavy clay soils of the dry Australian tropics and subtropics where Desmanthus species were the most successful of those tested. The variation within the genus as related to its distribution and its adaptation to Australian environments is discussed. Chapter 10 provides recent advances in the development of forages for heavy clay soils in Australia. The final series of chapters (11 through 19) describes the Belizean environments for which forage germplasm was being selected and the testing of the regionally collected legume accessions for their adaptation to, and suitability for, pastures on clay soils in a range of environments compared to exotic material.Providing Pasture and Ley Legumes for Use on Clay Soils in Tropical and Subtropical Environments / R.L.

[Buddy Lazier squinting]
No full textPhotograph of Buddy Lazier squinting as he watches the scoring tower during the Excite 500 Indy Racing Northern Light Series race held at Texas Motor Speedway. Lazier's helmet is yellow and blue with the Coors Light logo and the Colorado flag on the yellow section while the bleu section has the text "Delta Faucet" and Lazier" on it. Lazier's clear visor has a red line across its top edge, which has the Bell logo at its left end, and has been lifted up. Lazier also wears a white top with text including the Firestone logo on it

Lazier wears a white and black jumpsuit with logos across the chest and a blue and yellow helmet with its clear visor pushed up. The front of the helmet has a "Delta Faucet" logo on it while the jumpsuit and Lazier's car have "Xerox" logos on them. The car also has "Firestone" and "Coors Light" logos on it. A circular black object sits in front of Lazier on top of his vehicle. As he raises his glove-clad hands into the air a group of people crowds around his car, some holding cameras

The Lazier Murder ::Prince Edward County, 1884 /
No full textIn December 1883, Peter Lazier was shot in the heart during a bungled robbery at a Prince Edward County farmhouse. Three local men, pleading innocence from start to finish, were arrested and charged with his murder. Two of them - Joseph Thomset and David Lowder - were sentenced to death by a jury of local citizens the following May. Nevertheless, appalled community members believed at least one of them to be innocent - even pleading with prime minister John A. Macdonald to spare them from the gallows.The Lazier Murder explores a community's response to a crime, as well as the realization that it may have contributed to a miscarriage of justice. Robert J. Sharpe reconstructs and contextualizes the case using archival and contemporary newspaper accounts. The Lazier Murder provides an insightful look at the changing pattern of criminal justice in nineteenth-century Canada, and the enduring problem of wrongful convictions

An investigation of thermal structure in two fresh-water lakes
No full textThe temperature fine structure of the thermocline in two stratified fresh water lakes is investigated using data from repeated vertical temperature profiles, and temperature time series from moored thermistor chains. The data show that much of the structure in the thermocline migrates through the water column with time. Analysis suggests that the migrating aspect of the structure is associated with the natural oscillations of the lake.A theory for the wind forced internal oscillations of a viscous, non-rotating, long-narrow lake of constant stratification is developed. The introduction of viscosity gives a smooth phase change with depth near the nodes of the vertical displacement profile, and enables the theory to model the observed vertical migration of features in the lake.The theory is compared to several aspects of the data from the two lakes. Phase profiles calculated from thermistor chain data are compared to the predicted phase profiles, and in the. diurnal frequency band where the wind forcing is strongest the agreement is good for values of the viscosity of about 0.1 cm2 sec 1. The amplitude of the vertical displacement, in the diurnal frequency band, agree best with values predicted by the theory for a viscosity of 0.2 cm2 sec 1, which, considering the errors involved, is not significantly different from the value obtained from the phase profiles. Comparisons are also made between the theory and observations of the energy as a function of the' forcing in various frequency bands, of the phase profiles as a function of frequency, and of the phase of the wind relative to the internal oscillations. The agreement in all cases is sufficient to warrant the description of the migrating structures in terms of damped internal oscillations of the lake.</p
