Typology in pollination biology: lessons from an historical critique
No full textTypological schemes that describe putative floral adaptations for pollinators have played a central role in pollination biology. In 1882 the prominent German botanist and Darwinist Hermann Müller commented critically on a precursor of modern versions of such “pollination syndromes” that had been developed by his Italian colleague Federico Delpino. Delpino also was a self-proclaimed Darwinist, but in fact adhered to teleology— explanation beyond nature. As a consequence he viewed his typology as reflecting a deeper ideal and thus as rigidly true, and rejected as unimportant any visitors to flowers that it did not predict. Although Müller also classified flowers as to pollinators, he considered such schemes to be fallible, and pondered what diversity and variation in floral visitors might mean. Müller’s comments, which we translate here, are of interest given that appeals to teleology have resurfaced from time to time in discussions of pollination syndromes, and more importantly because his warning against taking typological schemes too literally remains valid. Typology is a useful tool in biology, including pollination biology, but care must be taken that it does not replace nature as perceived realit
Eigil Greve Knuth, 1903-1996
No full text... Count Eigil Knuth was born on 8 August 1903 at Klampenborg, an affluent community 10 km north of Copenhagen, the son of captain Eigil Greve Knuth and Djimphna, nee Gamel. ... Knuth was always of an uneasy mind, which was especially visible when he was younger. He graduated from one of Copenhagen\u27s oldest, best, and most distinguished high schools (gymnasium), but instead of attending the university, he continued at a technical school for apprentices to gain admission to the building technique school of the Academy of Fine Arts, where he spent the years from 1922 to 1924. He then moved to Italy for three years to study sculpture. Back in Denmark, he spent a year at Niels Buck\u27s Gymnastic Folk High School and graduated as a gymnastics teacher in the spring of 1932. That same summer, he participated for the first time in the excavating of old Norse ruins in West Greenland, assisting Dr. Aage Roussel from the National Museum. ... During the summer of 1934, he was excavating old Norse ruins, this time at Igaliko, again assisting Dr. Roussel and also Dr. Poul Norlund. In 1935 he was archaeologist on the Courtauld Expedition to East Greenland, during which Gunbjorns Fjeld, Greenland\u27s highest mountain, was climbed. There Knuth was assisting Dr. Helge Larsen from the National Museum, and without doubt their discussions had an important impact on Knuth the future archaeologist. ... During the Courtauld expedition, Knuth had many talks with Ebbe Munck, in which they agreed that their generation owed the nation a Danish expedition comparable to the Danmark Ekspedition 1906-08. ... As soon as the war was over, Knuth and Munck began to organize the contemplated expedition to Peary Land. Paid for by the newly established Danish Expedition Foundation, it would be the first in a long row of Peary Land Expeditions headed by Knuth. ... [The expedition house "Bronlund Hus" was built at Bronlund Fjord and from it many sledge and hiking trips were carried out which resulted in many archaeology discoveries.] However, Knuth deserves most credit for the demonstration of his, as he called them, Independence I and Independence II cultures, two immigration waves, almost 3000 years apart, of Palaeoeskimos, who migrated from Canada over northern Greenland and down the northern part of East Greenland. Independence I is most likely a branch of the oldest Saqqaq culture, whereas Independence II may be an early phase of the Dorset culture. ... Eigil Knuth was a very complex character. He was the artist par excellence; he was the author of several books, many papers, and numerous articles. ... His descriptions of Greenland landscapes, for instance, are masterpieces in beauty of sterling value. He was a sculptor with his own characteristic style and also a draftsman and a painter. He was a philosopher but also an exact scientist. ... Knuth\u27s Peary Land Expeditions ended in 1995, when he visited his beloved Bronlund Hus, his headquarters for so many years, for the last time. ..
Reproduction of Ditylenchus dipsaci on susceptible and resistant mustard and fodder radish cultivars
No full textDie Einführung EDV-gestützter Prognosemodelle bringt für den Pflanzenschutz in der Landwirtschaft erhebliche Vorteile, wie u. a. das Prognosemodell CERCBET zeigt. Mit diesem Prognosemodell haben die Beratung und der Landwirt ein wichtiges Werkzeug zur gezielten Bekämpfung der für Zuckerrüben wirtschaftlich bedeutsamen Pilzkrankheit Cercospora beticola in der Hand, um damit Kosten zu sparen und die Umwelt zu schonen. Für den im Zuckerrübenanbau nach wie vor ertragsrelevanten Schädling H. schachtii gibt es zurzeit keine chemische Bekämpfungsmöglichkeit. Trotzdem wäre auch für diesen Nematoden eine Vorhersage über die Befallsstärke wünschenswert, um die Entscheidung für den Anbau resistenter Zwischenfrüchte oder einer resistenten Zuckerrübensorte bzw. für eine Fruchtfolgeerweiterung zu erleichtern. Dies ist für den Landwirt in der Regel mit zusätzlich Kosten oder geringeren Einnahmen verbunden. Auch für den gezielten und nachhaltigen Einsatz resistenter Sorten ist die Kenntnis der Befallssituation wichtig. Anders als bei Kartoffelzystennematoden, die jährlich nur einen Generationszyklus durchlaufen, gestaltet sich die Entwicklung von Simulationsmodellen für H. schachtii vergleichsweise schwieriger, da je nach Umweltbedingungen ein bis drei Generationen pro Jahr möglich sind. Die bisherigen Ansätze zur Prognose der Abundanz führten u. a. deshalb noch zu keinem befriedigenden Ergebnis. Mit NEMAPLOT wurde vor gut 10 Jahren eine gute Grundlage geschaffen. In Verbindung mit einem bundesweit anzustrebenden Montoring für Rübenzystennematoden könnten sich daraus gute Erfolgsaussichten für eine Praxiseinführung ergeben.Computer-aided prediction models, such as CERCBET, are seen as important plant protection tools. CERCBET allows advisers and growers to effectively and economically control Cercospora beticola, an important fungal disease in sugar beets. This reduces costs for the growers and protects the environment through minimised pesticide usage. Currently, there is no chemical control for the highly damaging nematode pest Heterodera schachtii in German sugar beet production. Changes in cultivation practices, e.g. growing of resistant green manure crops or resistant sugar beet varieties, or longer crop rotations, are commonly associated with higher costs or reduced revenue. In order to allow growers to effectively and sustainably use resistant varieties, detailed information on nematode population densities, distribution and composition of the nematode population are required. In contrast to potato cyst nematodes, that can complete only one generation per year, the development of prediction models for H. schachtii is much more complex. This is largely due to the fact that up to three generations per year may be completed. Current approaches cannot predict population fluctuations adequately. Modification of the prediction model NEMAPLOT, in conjunction with a country-wide monitoring for sugar beet cyst nematodes, could result in a successful introduction to practical agriculture
Enkele opmerkingen over het vermeende voorkomen van Senecio jacobaea L. var. nudus Weston op Sylt en de Deense Waddeneilanden
No full textS. jacobaea L. var. nudus Weston sensu Van der Meijden is not recorded from Sylt and the Danish Wadden islands, as GREMMEN & KREMERS (1971) and VAN DER MEIJDEN (1976) mentioned. They confused records of Senecio dunensis (without author), being formerly S. vulgaris L.f. dunensis Knuth (S. vulgaris subsp. denticulatus (O. F. Müller) Sell) with those of S. dunensis Dum.

Another refinement of the Bender–Knuth (ex-)conjecture
No full textAbstractWe compute the generating function of column-strict plane partitions with parts in {1,2,…,n}, at most c columns, p rows of odd length and k parts equal to n. This refines both Krattenthaler’s [C. Krattenthaler, The major counting of nonintersecting lattice paths and generating functions for tableaux, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 115 (552) (1995) vi+109] and the author’s [I. Fischer, A method for proving polynomial enumeration formulas, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A (in press). Preprint, math.CO/0301103] refinement of the Bender–Knuth (ex-)conjecture. The result is proved by an extension of the method for proving polynomial enumeration formulas which was introduced by the author in I. Fischer [A method for proving polynomial enumeration formulas, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A (in press). Preprint, math.CO/0301103] to q-quasi-polynomials

To adjustably fulfill the requirements in the designing of the above-mentioned search engine, the author utilizes PHP programming language to serve as a basis for the system’s coding. Whilst for testing, the author uses black box as the method for testing
An alternate form of Merino-Mička-Mütze\u27s approach to a combinatorial generation problem of Knuth
No full textA modification of Merino-Mička-Mütze\u27s solution to a combinatorial generation problem of Knuth is proposed in this survey. The resulting alternate form to such solution is compatible with a reinterpretation by the author of a proof of existence of Hamilton cycles in the middle-levels graphs. Such reinterpretation is given in terms of a dihedral quotient graph associated to each middle-levels graph. The vertices of such quotient graph represent Dyck words and their associated ordered trees. Those Dyck words are linearly ordered via a rooted tree that covers all their tight, or irreducible, forms, offering an universal reference point of view to express and integrate the periodic paths, or blocks, whose concatenation leads to Hamilton cycles resulting from the said solution.23 pages, 8 figure
