University of Florida Potato Variety Trials Spotlight: Marcy
No full text‘Marcy’ is a white-flesh and white-skinned fresh-market potato variety released from the Cornell University Potato Breeding program in 1990. The cultivar was selected from a cross between ‘Atlantic’ and Q155-3 (De Jong et al. 2006). In trials conducted at the University of Florida, ‘Marcy’ demonstrated high yield and good tuber characteristics compared to its matched commercial standards, ‘Atlantic’ and ‘La Chipper’. After its release, ‘Marcy’ has been cultivated in several trials in Florida. Production and quality results provided here are from variety trials conducted by the University of Florida Hastings Agricultural and Extension Center in 2002 and from 2011 to 2019.

The anonymous Renaissance cultures of discretion in Tudor-Stuart England
No full text"The Renaissance was in many ways the beginning of modern and self-conscious authorship, a time when individual genius was celebrated and an author's name could become a book trade commodity. Why, then, did anonymous authorship flourish during the Renaissance rather than disappear? In addressing this puzzle, Marcy L. North reveals the rich history and popularity of anonymity during this period." "The book trade, she argues, created many intriguing and paradoxical uses for anonymity, even as the authorial name became more marketable. Among ecclesiastical debates, for instance, anonymity worked to conceal identity, but it could also be used to identify the moral character of the author being concealed. In court and coterie circles, meanwhile, authors turned name suppression into a tool for the preservation of social boundaries. Finally, in both print and manuscript, anonymity promised to liberate an authentic female voice, and yet it made it impossible to authenticate the gender of an author. In sum, the writers and book producers who helped to create England's literary culture viewed anonymity as a meaningful and useful practice."--BOOK JACKET

A concept knowledge intervention for children with hearing loss
No full textThis study employed a single-subject design across behaviors and participants to measure the effects of classroom-based intervention on temporal and spatial concept word knowledge outcomes of children with hearing loss. This study aimed to 1) determine the functional relation between classroom-based intervention and concept vocabulary knowledge in preschool children with hearing loss as well as 2) identify both child-level and 3) intervention-level factors that improve or decrease their rate of concept vocabulary learning. The intervention used in this comparative single-subject design study followed a protocol based on Nelson, Powell, Bloom and Kraft (2014). Significant results were obtained for use of this intervention with spatial and temporal-spatial concepts, as one at least demonstration and two replications of a functional relation were demonstrated for these concepts. Results indicate the intervention increases in child concept knowledge immediately following instruction and with some maintenance; however, it is not intuitive to administer
