Managerial Knowledge, Expansion Trajectories, and Competitive Advantage Among Large Firms in the United States Paper Industry, 1973--1992
… hiring managers from large firms, from large plants, and from slow-growth plants are likely to expand at above-average rates. Further, some evidence is found that a firm's capacity expansion path is related to the resource-based variables---particularly human resources, skills & capabilities, …

The role of plant hormones, carbohydrates and indolebutyric acid in root and shoot development of two transplanted woody species
… control of root and shoot development of woody plants. An experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of IBA root sprays applied to seedling red oaks up to two weeks prior to planting. Bare root Quercus rubra seedlings were sprayed with 0, 3000, 6000 and 9000 ppm of IBA at 0, 3, 7 …

Ionic balance and growth of carnations
A flow chart for diagnosing the nutrient status of carnation, Dianthus caryophyllus, was designed using the data from nutrient culture experiments. Diagnostic values for any specific ion were determined after considering the overall organic acid content, (C-A), of the plant and the level of the …

Neutron activation analysis of plants as pollution indicators
… of a technique for using trace elements in plants as pollution indicators for automobile exhaust effects. The plant study in the present work is a pilot program to develop sample collection, preparation, and analysis techniques. The results obtained indicate that natural growth plants can be …

Growth of juvenile lodgepole pine in relation to soil and slope
… thesis is concerned with determining site-tree growth relationships that exist in pure evenage juvenile stands of lodgepole pine. The study is a basis for developing methods that will eventually predict site productivity. A pure evenage stand of lodgepole pine 18 to 20 years in age was chosen …

Studies of the mechanisms of stabilization of organic matter in semiarid soils
The effectiveness of three mechanisms of stabilization of soil organic matter (OM) were studied. These mechanisms are (1) chemical recalcitrance, (2) physical stabilization by adsorption onto soil particles, and (3) physical stabilization by occlusion within microaggregates. Mechanisms 1 and 2 were …

Stewart's and Goss' Wilts of Corn: Yield Reduction and Genetics of Resistance
… diseases of corn. These diseases can affect corn plants at any stage of the plant growth. Plants infected at seedling stages often are stunted and may fail to produce ears. There is evidence that dent corn is more resistant than either flint or sweet corn. Consequently most sources of resistance …

The influence of carbon dioxide on growth and metabolism of etiolated Avena sativa 1 coleoptiles
The influence of carbon dioxide on growth and protein synthesis of etiolated Avena coleoptiles was investigated. Evidence is presented that 0.03% carbon dioxide stimulated both these processes; and that carbon dioxide stimulated growth depends on carbon dioxide stimulated protein synthesis, In …

Characterization of a major cluster of genes involved in nitrogen fixation and another required for indole-3-acetic acid biosynthesis in the sugarcane endophyte, Acetobacter diazotrophicus
… endophyte of sugarcane and is often found in plants grown in agricultural areas of low nitrogen fertilizer input. Results from our laboratory, using mutant strains of A. diazotrophicus unable to fix nitrogen, have shown that there are two beneficial effects of A. diazotrophicus on sugarcane: …

THE ROLE OF MICROBIAL ENDOSYMBIONTS IN SORGHUM HALEPENSE INVASIONS: EVIDENCE OF A NEW INVASION STRATEGY, MICROBIALLY ENHANCED COMPETITIVE ABILITY (MECA)
Invasive plants can profoundly alter ecosystem processes, and tremendous economic costs are often associated with these disturbances. Attributes like higher growth rates, increased biomass, and enhanced chemical defenses have been documented in many invasive plants. When expanding into new ranges, …

Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) as a technique to predict nutrient availability to plants
… the chemical nutrients essential for plant growth. Assessment of nutrient availability in soils is important in order to maximise fertilizer efficiency and crop yields and to minimise environmental pollution associated with over fertilisation. Nutrient availability has proven difficult to …

The natural recolonisation process of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile after the introduction of the Italo-algerian methane pipeline in the SW Mediterranean Sea.
… in the amount of nutrient available to the plants for growth and photosynthesis and hence plant morphology. The latter part of this thesis was focalised on the physiological response of the plant to this new environment. Nutrient limitation and plant phenology have been considered to draw a …
