    Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Stormwater Management Systems Developed by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection in consultation with the New York City Department of Buildings July 2012 Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Carter H. Strickland, Jr., Commissioner Cover: An extensive green roof system installed atop the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation’s (DPR) Five Borough Building on Randall’s Island. This modular system is one of six variations installed on the roof and covers 800 square feet, con- sisting of two-foot by two-foot trays with six inches of mineral soil and over 1,500 sedum plugs. DPR has installed 25 green roof systems covering over 29,000 square feet on the Five Borough Building rooftop to feature different types and depths of growing medium and plant selection. Dear Friends; The NYC Green Infrastructure Plan, released in September 2010, proposed an innovative ap- proach for cost-effective and sustainable stormwater management. A major part of this plan is our commitment to manage the equivalent of an inch of rainfall on ten percent of the impervious areas in combined sewer watersheds by 2030. To that end, DEP is prepared to spend $1.5 bil- lion to construct green infrastructure projects across the city. Yet public investment alone will not achieve our water quality goals, or our desired recreation and development opportunities. Some of the most cost-effective opportunities are represented by new construction and devel- opment, when stormwater source controls can be easily included in designs and built at a frac- tion of the cost of retrofitting existing buildings.

In recent years, intensive research has been carried out regarding the antiviral activity of plant metabolites that could be used for the preservation of fresh food, because they are safer for consumption when compared to synthetic chemicals. Plant prepara- tions with proven antimicrobial activity differ in their chemical compositions, which significantly affects their biological activity. Our review aimed to present the results of research related to the characteristics, applicability, and mechanisms of the action of various plant-based preparations and metabolites against norovirus. New strategies to combat intestinal viruses are necessary, not only to ensure food safety and reduce infections in humans but also to lower the direct health costs associated with them.

Abstract The Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank, the first wetlands mitigation bank in the Blue Ridge Province of North Carolina, was created to compensate for losses resulting from highway projects in western North Carolina. The overall objective for the Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank has been to restore the functional and structural characteristics of the wetlands. Specific ecological restoration objectives of this Phase I study included: 1) reestablishing site hydrology by realigning the stream channel and filling drainage ditches; 2) recontouring the floodplain by removing spoil that resulted from creation of the golf ponds and dredging of the creek; 3) improving breeding habitat for amphibians by constructing vernal ponds; and 4) reestablishing floodplain and fen plant communities.

  • Flower and Fruit Production of Understory Shrubs in Western Washington and Oregon About This File: This File Was Created by Scanning the Printed Publication
    Bryan W. Wender, Constance A. Harrington,1 USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, Olympia, Washington 98512-9193 and John C. Tappeiner, II, Department of Forest Resources, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331 Flower and Fruit Production of Understory Shrubs in Western Washington and Oregon About This File: This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Misscans identified by the software have been corrected; however, some mistakes may remain. Abstract We observed flower and fruit production for nine understory shrub species in western Washington and Oregon and examined the relationships between shrub reproductive output and plant size, plant age, site factors, and overstory density to determine the factors that control flowering or fruiting in understory shrubs. In Washington, 50 or more shrubs or microplots (for rhizomatous species) were sampled for each of eight species. The variables examined were more useful for explaining abundance of flowers or fruit on shrubs than they were for explaining the probability that a shrub would produce flowers or fruit. Plant size was consistently the most useful predictor of flower/fruit abundance in all species; plant age was also a good predictor of abundance and was strongly correlated with plant size. Site variables (e.g., slope) and overstory competition variables (e.g., presence/absence of a canopy gap) also helped explain flower/fruit abundance for some species. At two Oregon sites, the responses of five species to four levels of thinning were observed for 2-4 yr (15± shrubs or microplots per treatment per year). Thinning increased the probability and abundance of flowering/fruiting for two species, had no effect on one species, and responses for two other species were positive but inconsistent between sites or from year to year.

Received February 18, 2002; accepted May 7, 2002 Prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, EC 3.4.21.26) has been proposed to play a role in degradation of proline-con- taining neuropeptides involved in the processes of learning and memory, e.g., vasopressin, substance P, and thy- rotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). In the course of our search for bioactive constituents in medicinal plants, we studied the PEP inhibitory constituents of the roots of Lindera strychnifolia F. V ILL and isolated two known tan- nins, epicatechin (1) and aesculitannin B (2), and four known sesquiterpenes, linderene (3), linderene acetate (4), linderalactone (5) and isolinderalactone (6) as inhibitors. On the inhibitory activities of six compounds against PEP from Flavobacterium meningosepticum and that from rat brain supernatant, compounds 1, 2 and 4 inhibited the enzyme from Flavobacterium more strongly than that from rat brain supernatant. However, compounds 3, 5 and 6 inhibited the enzymes from both origins to the same extent and furthermore, compound 6 was the strongest natural inhibitor against PEP from rat brain supernatant. The kinetic study of these inhibitors indi- cated that compounds 1, 2 are noncompetitive inhibitors and compounds 3—6 are competitive inhibitors. This is the first example of non-phenolic constituents showing significant competitive inhibitory activity being isolated from natural medicines.

ABSTRACT his study used Brassica rapa, a rapidly growing radish, to examine which component of reproductive yield; flower count, fruit count, seed number per plant, seed number per fruit or Tseed mass; is least variable and therefore of greatest importance for a plant to maintain. The effect of pre-dispersal seed predation on the least variable yield component was also examined by removing up to four developing fruit pods from each plant in a treatment group. Only flower count per plant varied significantly between experimental treatments. It was unknown how the impact of this difference, which was not experimentally altered, affected the remaining components of radish reproductive yield. Coefficient of variation was lowest for mass per seed, which indicates it is of greater importance for B.
