My mom passed away in March this year four days after her 98th birthday. Her given name was Mildred Gertrude, but since she was born on Saint Patrick’s Day, every one started calling her Shammie Lou (thank God), for, of course, the shamrock. She was a delightful fun loving woman who loved to go to the casino and play the slots. She supported the best in me my whole life. I will miss her dearly. I have faith that her soul will continue its journey in the great cycle of life. Maybe someday we will meet again. But for now she lives in a warm and loving place in my heart. I will never forget how she blessed me. I like to think that my mom’s sweet spunky kind spirit left her little frail body and is start- ing over. Towards the end my dad referred to her as “my little hummingbird.” When I look out my window today I can see that the earth is also starting over again. From the cold dying back of the winter to the rebirth of spring. The buds on the trees are just about to burst. The ground is covered in the greenest carpet. The birds are returning. Towhees, American Gold and Rosy House finches, Black Cap Chickadees, and even the Hummingbirds. The greenhouses here at the farm are bursting with new shoots. Dori and Tonia and the rest of the crew are tending them with care. They make sure the temperature of the soil and the air are right, the watering is consistent, and that each herb has the right balance of minerals in the pot- ting soil. All of this to make sure that our “babies” as we affectionately refer to them, are healthy and vigorous. I am hopeful this year that our healing crops will be abundant and that our fine team will continue to do great work to serve our customers. In a few months this farm will be covered with flowers in a vibrant palette of colors. That is how I like to think of my mom... out of the darkness of death she has blossomed into the loveliest spirit flower. Godspeed Shammie Lou. I love you.

  • Simulating the Productivity of Desert Woody Shrubs in Southwestern Texas
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.73703 ProvisionalChapter chapter 2 Simulating the Productivity of Desert Woody Shrubs in Southwestern Texas SuminSumin Kim, Kim, JaehakJaehak Jeong Jeong and James R. KiniryR. Kiniry Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.73703 Abstract In the southwestern U.S., many rangelands have converted from native grasslands to woody shrublands dominated by creosotebush (Larrea tridentate) and honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), threatening ecosystem health. Both creosotebush and mesquite have well-developed long root systems that allow them to outcompete neighboring plants. Thus, control of these two invasive shrubs is essential for revegetation in arid rangelands. Simulation models are valuable tools for describing invasive shrub growth and interaction between shrubs and other perennial grasses and for evaluating quantitative changes in ecosystem properties linked to shrub invasion and shrub control. In this study, a hybrid and multiscale modeling approach with two process-based models, ALMANAC and APEX was developed. Through ALMANAC application, plant parameters and growth cycles of creosotebush and mesquite were characterized based on field data. The devel- oped shrub growth curves and parameters were subsequently used in APEX to explore productivity and range condition at a larger field scale. APEX was used to quantitatively evaluate the effect of shrub reductions on vegetation and water and soil qualities in vari- ous topological conditions. The results of this study showed that this multi modeling approach is capable of accurately predicting the impacts of shrubs on soil water resources. Keywords: arid rangeland, creosotebush, mesquite, ALMANAC, APEX 1. Introduction Rangelands cover 31% of the total land base of the U.S.

  • CDFG Natural Communities List
    Department of Fish and Game Biogeographic Data Branch The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Terrestrial Natural Communities Recognized by The California Natural Diversity Database September 2003 Edition Introduction: This document supersedes all other lists of terrestrial natural communities developed by the Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). It is based on the classification put forth in “A Manual of California Vegetation” (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995 and upcoming new edition). However, it is structured to be compatible with previous CNDDB lists (e.g., Holland 1986). For those familiar with the Holland numerical coding system you will see a general similarity in the upper levels of the hierarchy. You will also see a greater detail at the lower levels of the hierarchy. The numbering system has been modified to incorporate this richer detail. Decimal points have been added to separate major groupings and two additional digits have been added to encompass the finest hierarchal detail. One of the objectives of the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) was to apply a uniform hierarchical structure to the State’s vegetation types. Quantifiable classification rules were established to define the major floristic groups, called alliances and associations in the National Vegetation Classification (Grossman et al. 1998). In this document, the alliance level is denoted in the center triplet of the coding system and the associations in the right hand pair of numbers to the left of the final decimal. The numbers of the alliance in the center triplet attempt to denote relationships in floristic similarity. For example, the Chamise-Eastwood Manzanita alliance (37.106.00) is more closely related to the Chamise- Cupleaf Ceanothus alliance (37.105.00) than it is to the Chaparral Whitethorn alliance (37.205.00).

  • Ginger-Garlic Chicken by Mary Anne Mohanraj, Featured in a Feast of Serendib: ​ Recipes from Sri Lanka
    Ginger-Garlic Chicken by Mary Anne Mohanraj, featured in A Feast of Serendib: ​ Recipes from Sri Lanka This is my daughter’s favorite chicken dish, and one she always greets with delight; she started eating it when she was about five, with no added chili powder. Over time, I’ve added a little more chili powder when feeding it to both kids, serving with milk to help them along; you can also use black pepper if you’d prefer. The timing on this is variable because you can either do it the long way described below, the way my mother recommends, which is definitely a bit tastier—or you can do a much faster version, where you mix the spices with the chicken, skip the marinating, and then sauté the chicken in the pan on medium-high until cooked through, then serve. I use both methods, mostly depending on how much of a hurry I’m in. Regardless of which method you use, this dish is best served fresh; if it sits, the chicken will tend to get dry and not be as tasty. Preparation time: 30-90 minutes Ingredients • 1 heaping teaspoon ginger powder • 1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder • 1 heaping teaspoon turmeric • 1 teaspoon salt • 12 chicken thighs, about 2 pounds, deboned and cut bite-sized • Vegetable oil for frying • ½ to 2 heaping teaspoons red chili powder (to taste, optional) Process 1. Mix ginger powder, garlic powder, turmeric, and salt in a large bowl; add chicken pieces and rub with your hands until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes.

  • Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Desert Vegetation of the Southwestern US
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Atmospheric Environment 40 (2006) 1645–1660 www.elsevier.com/locate/atmosenv Biogenic volatile organic compound emissions from desert vegetation of the southwestern US Chris Gerona,Ã, Alex Guentherb, Jim Greenbergb, Thomas Karlb, Rei Rasmussenc aUnited States Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, USA bNational Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO 80303, USA cOregon Graduate Institute, Portland, OR 97291, USA Received 27 July 2005; received in revised form 25 October 2005; accepted 25 October 2005 Abstract Thirteen common plant species in the Mojave and Sonoran Desert regions of the western US were tested for emissions of biogenic non-methane volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Only two of the species examined emitted isoprene at rates of 10 mgCgÀ1 hÀ1or greater. These species accounted for o10% of the estimated vegetative biomass in these arid regions of low biomass density, indicating that these ecosystems are not likely a strong source of isoprene. However, isoprene emissions from these species continued to increase at much higher leaf temperatures than is observed from species in other ecosystems. Five species, including members of the Ambrosia genus, emitted monoterpenes at rates exceeding 2 mgCgÀ1 hÀ1. Emissions of oxygenated compounds, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone/propanal, and hexanol, from cut branches of several species exceeded 10 mgCgÀ1 hÀ1, warranting further investigation in these ecosystems. Model extrapolation of isoprene emission measurements verifies recently published observations that desert vegetation is a small source of isoprene relative to forests. Annual and daily total model isoprene emission estimates from an eastern US mixed forest landscape were 10–30 times greater than isoprene emissions estimated from the Mojave site.

  • Potential of Medicinal Plants As Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Agents in Food Industry: a Hypothesis
    Potential of Medicinal Plants as Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Agents in Food Industry: in Food Science A Hypothesis R: Concise Reviews Luis Alberto Ortega-Ramirez, Isela Rodriguez-Garcia, Juan Manuel Leyva, Manuel Reynaldo Cruz-Valenzuela, Brenda Adriana Silva-Espinoza, Gustavo A. Gonzalez-Aguilar, Md Wasim Siddiqui, and Jesus Fernando Ayala-Zavala Abstract: Many food preservation strategies can be used for the control of microbial spoilage and oxidation; however, these quality problems are not yet controlled adequately. Although synthetic antimicrobial and antioxidant agents are approved in many countries, the use of natural safe and effective preservatives is a demand of food consumers and producers. This paper proposes medicinal plants, traditionally used to treat health disorders and prevent diseases, as a source of bioactive compounds having food additive properties. Medicinal plants are rich in terpenes and phenolic compounds that present antimicrobial and antioxidant properties; in addition, the literature revealed that these bioactive compounds extracted from other plants have been effective in food systems. In this context, the present hypothesis paper states that bioactive molecules extracted from medicinal plants can be used as antimicrobial and antioxidant additives in the food industry.

  • Using Native Plants of the Northeast of Mexico for Developing Active Antimicrobial Food Packaging Films Cecilia Rojas De Gante, Judith A
    Chapter Using Native Plants of the Northeast of Mexico for Developing Active Antimicrobial Food Packaging Films Cecilia Rojas de Gante, Judith A. Rocha and Carlos P. Sáenz Collins Abstract The development of active food packaging is addressed using polyolefins such as LDPE and PVOH, as well as biopolymers from flour (sorghum and corn) and by- products of the food industry. Bacteriocins (nisin, natamycin), plant extracts such as oregano and thyme, as well as native plants of the northeast region of Mexico (Larrea tridentata, Schinus molle, Cordia boissieri, Leucophyllum frutescens), and essential oils of oregano and thyme as antimicrobial agents have been studied. The effect exerted by the process of incorporation of the antimicrobial agent (casting, extrusion) on the barrier and mechanical properties of the package as well as the antimicrobial activity of the containers (broad spectrum or selective activity) has been observed and the establishment of methods for their traceability. Keywords: sorghum, maize, flour, nisin, thyme, oregano, Larrea tridentata, Schinus molle, Cordia boissieri, Leucophyllum frutescens, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus 1. Introduction Since the last decade and a half (2000 to date), the main forces that have unleashed the greatest developments in the packaging of food are the great con- cern of society for the care of their integral health including its nutritional status through foods with less or no presence of additives but in convenient presentations that facilitate their preparation, heating, and intake as well as foods with therapeu- tic action. A consumer who is very concerned about the safety of food, where food packaging and storage systems do not represent or have physical, biological, or even toxicological risks, nor for the protection of the environment.
