Andrea Cesalpino. An Introduction
No full textIn the Dictionaire historique et critique (1697), Pierre Bayle (1647–1706) included a short entry on Andrea Cesalpino that contains a few notes about his biography and intellectual significance. He wrote that Cesalpino “had been a highly skilled scholar in both philosophy and medicine. He was from Arezzo, and worked for a long period in Pisa, before becoming first physician of Pope Clement VIII. He died in Rome on February 23, 1603, aged 84 years.” Yet, he added something more. Influenced by Samuel Parker’s reading of Cesalpino and by the criticisms made by Nicolaus Taurellus (1547–1606), he wrote that Cesalpino “abandoned the way of ordinary Peripatetic scholars in many aspects and to put it bluntly he was a bad Christian with respect to his opinions. His principles barely differed from those of Spinoza,” while notin that “a modern author counts him among the greatest geniuses that has ever been seen.

Evaluation of 21 Thailand Maize Germplasms for Resistance to Leaf Feeding Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
No full textNative to the Americas, the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae), is a recent invasive pest of Africa and Asia. This insect causes economic damage to maize (Zea mays L.) primarily through leaf and ear tissue feeding. The pest is resistant to several classes of insecticide and several Bt-maize toxins. Native resistance in maize to fall armyworm could be used with existing control tactics to enhance control of this insect. The objective for this study was to evaluate maize germplasm, developed from Thailand and maintained by the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System, for resistance to leaf feeding fall armyworm. Plants were grown in the field and artificially infested at the seven-leaf stage with fall armyworms. Visual rating scores for leaf feeding damage were recorded at 7 and 14 days post infestation. Scores for maize germplasm Ames 26254 were not different than the resistant check, GT-FAWCC(C5), and germplasm PI 506347 and PI 690324 were not significantly different from Ames 26254. In total, five Thailand maize germplasms received 14-day damage scores of ≤ 6.0 across both years of testing and were considered moderately resistant to fall armyworm leaf feeding. These maize germplasms are tropical and require breeding to adapt progeny for research in temperate areas.This article is published as Craig A. Abel, M.

Embracing the half: Aristotle's revision of platonic eros and philia
No full textIn this thesis, I am investigating the nature of e[rwV (eros) and filiva (philia) in Plato
and Aristotle. I have confined this project to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (EN) and
Metaphysics, with a background discussion of Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus. I will
argue for the following claims. First, Plato's Symposium poses a dilemma with respect
to the object and nature of e[rwV. The dilemma is that the objects of e[rwV must be either
particular individuals or the Beautiful itself. Second, Plato's Phaedrus may be seen as
Plato's attempt to solve the dilemma by giving a synthesis: e[rwV is a virtuous maniva
and should be directed to particular individuals en route to the Beautiful. However,
another problem arises; viz., given Platonic metaphysics, it is difficult to see how the
lovers can genuinely love one another in and of themselves when the ultimate object of
love is the Form of Beauty. Third, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics sees e[rwV as an
excess of filiva. ErwV in human relationships must be avoided because it is seen as
something bad and irrational, even though it is not a vice. The account of e[rwV and
filiva in EN may be seen as Aristotle's attempt to propose another kind of solution to
the dilemma by escaping the horns, i.e., by deprioritizing e[rwV in favor of filiva with respect to achieving the virtuous life. Fourth, this negative view of e[rwV does not
appear in Metaphysics L. In 1072b3-4, Aristotle writes that the Unmoved Mover
moves all things as being loved (wJV ejrwvmenon). The best interpretation of the phrase
wJV ejrwvmenon is that the Unmoved Mover moves all things by letting them follow their
nature. There is a shift of emphasis in Aristotle's philosophy from e[rwV to filiva,
which brings another dilemma with respect to the objects of filiva, namely between
filiva for particular individuals and filiva for the good. I will not try to solve the
dilemma, but will try to circumscribe the issue
A Study of Stylolite Development
No full textTitle: A Study of Stylolite Development, Author: Craig M. Rice, Location: ThodeA petrographic study of samples from the Lockport
Formation, all having undergone stylolitization has shown
two stages of stylolite development. Stage One - The development of microstylolites and microstylolite swarms leads to the formation of a
stylolite. Through the process of amalgamation,
microstylolites in a swarm merge together to form
an "adolescent" stylolite. Geometric changes of
the solution seams are analagous to the principle
of superposition of waves. Stage Two- An "adolescent" stylolite grows into
a "mature" stylolite as the result of discrete
solution of the surface. The geometry of the
stylolite becomes more sutured and interpenetrating
as a result of pressure-solution. The formation of a stylolite suggests an even greater volume loss than would be anticipated by the amplitude of the
solution surface. Stylolite development is an active
evolutionary process.ThesisBachelor of Science (BSc
Evaluation of Maize Germplasm from Saint Croix for Resistance to Leaf Feeding by Fall Armyworm
No full textMaize (Zea mays L.) is a preferred host of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae), with larvae primarily feeding on developing leaves and ear tissue. The fall armyworm is resistant to several classes of insecticide and Bt-maize grown in certain areas. Native sources of plant resistance to the pest are available for public use, but new sources of resistance need to be discovered and developed. The objective for this study was to test maize germplasm collected from Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, for resistance to leaf feeding by fall armyworm. Plants were grown in the field and artificially infested at a high level. Scores of damage by fall armyworm feeding on leaves at 7 and 14 days differed significantly for the 13 maize genotypes tested. Scores at 14 days for Saint Croix Group 1 (5.8), Saint Croix Group 3 (5.6), Saint Croix 2 (5.6), and Saint Croix 7 (6.0) were moderately resistant and not significantly different from one another. Individual plants in the populations were variable for resistance to leaf feeding, and scored between 4 and 7. It should be possible to select within the populations for greater resistance to damage by fall armyworms feeding on leaves.This article is published as Abel, Craig A., Brad S. Coates, and M.
