(1993) lists 137 established aquatic species as nonindigenous to the Great Received 5 March 2019 Lakes (two plants are further subdivided into two subspecies groups). We have removed seven of these Accepted 5 August 2019 species: three have been redefined as probably native, and four plants (including both subspecies of Available online 23 October 2019 Sonchus arvensis) have been reclassified as terrestrial. Thirty-five species that arrived prior to 1993 (some Communicated by Anett Trebitz due to reclassification, some due to a time lag in discovery and reporting) have been added to the list. Twenty-four new species have become established post-1993, bringing the total to 188 (with Pluchea odorata including two subspecies). -

View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy The Detroit Medical Center: Race and Renewal in the Motor City A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jessica Nickrand IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: Dominique Tobbell, PhD May 2019 © 2019 Jessica Nickrand Acknowledgements It is possible that these acknowledgements will be the longest section of this entire dissertation. I was in graduate school for a whole decade, and that requires an awful lot of thanks. But beyond my time in graduate school, this work is really a culmination of the guidance and generosity of so many people throughout my life, and I need to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge all of them. First, I am of course indebted to the University of Minnesota and the Program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine for taking the chance on this first- generation college kid with a lip ring so many years ago. My adviser, Dominique Tobbell, challenged me to produce the best work I could, and her intellectual leadership and guidance resulted in the scholar I am today. Especially toward the end of this journey, she provided prompt feedback and incredible access, and helped me “climb the mountain” and get this thing done. I will forever be grateful for her support. Jennifer Gunn served as a co-adviser for the beginning part of this work, and is the Chair of my committee, and has been such a force of good in my career as a historian. -

Introduction The list of monocotyledonous culms, flower stalks, rhizomes and stem-features is a result of the studies published in tree volumes: - Vol.I Anatomy of grass culms (Schweingruber and Berger 2017) - Vol. II Anatomy of culms and rhizomes of sedges (Schweingruber and Berger 2018) - Vol. III Anatomy of culms and flower stalks of monocotyledonous plants (Schweingruber and Berger 2018) Here we present the first time a list of features which is applicable on the whole spectrum of monocotyledonous plants in temperate zones of the northern hemisphere. The definition of features is primarily based on double stained microscopic slides from recently collected material. The origin of some feature-characterization originates from monographs of Schenk 1886 and Evans 2003, Seago et al. -

The aim of this study was to determine floristic diversity, the chemical composition, nature value and energy value of selected sedge communities in view of habitat conditions in the Noteć valley. This study was based on a total of 46 relevés prepared according to Braun-Blanquet. The identified communities were represented by common plant associations, both natural or semi-natural. They comprised mainly vegetation of meadows excluded from agricultural use, on fresh and partly moist and very moist soils, of weak acid and neutral reaction. -

Al- though, the law does not apply co rear seat occupants, it was anticipated I that seat 5elt use would i5crease among these occupants also. Thus, the nen, I seat belt law was expected to produce increased restraint use in the rear seat, and provide a basis to estimate the effectiveness of seat belts in preventing injury to rear seat cccupants. An initial examination of the data comparing belt use among rear seat occupants involved in accidents and those observed in roadside surveys shove2 that belt use was substantially overstated in tha accident reports following implementation of the seat belt use law. -

Wetland Plants of the Namoi High Country
Wetland Plants of the Namoi High Country The purpose of this guide is to assist stakeholders involved in monitoring activities to identify high altitude wetland species that occur 700m above sea level (ASL) within the New England Tableland Bioregion of the Namoi Catchment. Acknowledgements This document would not have been possible without the generous contribution of 30 photographers whose names appear on individual images. Funding was provided by the Namoi Catchment Management Authority as part of their Upland Wetland Program through the Commonwealth Government’s Caring for Our Country Program. John T. Hunter provided comments on the draft and organised the project through Hewlett Hunter Pty Ltd. The N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium, University of New England, is thanked for access to photographs of plant specimens. The website: http:// www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Residents/Yarra_Ranges_Plant_ Directory highlighted the images of some of the photographers contributing to this guide and NatureShare http://natureshare.org.au/species/ is thanked for the free provision of images. Ian Telford of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium is thanked for advice on species identifications and nomenclature. Jon Burne provided IT support with formatting and design.
