GREENAWALT1, RON POWELL2, JANET SIMON1, AND ROBERT G. BRANNAN1,3 Additional index words: Asimina triloba, Pawpaw, Asimina triloba, fruit production, average FW Abstract This study examined 52 cultivars of pawpaw (Asimina triloba) grown at three locations in southwestern Ohio, of which 24 fit into previously identified genetic groups based on simple sequence repeat markers, harvested from 2005-2012. The harvest duration ranged from 31 days in 2005 to 74 days in 2010, and most of the fruit was harvested in Sept. A frequency analysis of average FW conducted for all cultivars revealed that average FW was normally distributed. The average FW ranged from 10 g (‘Cullman Late’) to 244 g (‘Davis’), but of the more prolific cultivars the average FW ranged from 72 g (‘Rappahannock’) to 172 g (‘NC-1’). Average FW and total number of fruit collected were negatively correlated (r = -0.21, p < 0.001). FW was not affected by location. Genetically similar cultivars were compared based on previously identified groupings. Cultivars assigned to the Susquehanna and Overleese genetic groups had significantly higher average FW and harvest length than other genetic groups. Results of this study expand research on pawpaw production and allow growers to select cultivars with market potential based on factors such as fruit size, yield, and harvest duration. The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the larg- dition, the normal bloom period of pawpaw est fruit native to North America.

    236 НОВИНИ СВІТОВОЇ НАУКИ .. ˆ Erdemir Gundogmus,1 ENERGY USE PATTERNS AND ECONOMETRIC MODELS OF QUINCE PRODUCTION This study was conducted to determine the balance between the inputs of energy and the ener getic yield for quince production in Turkey. The data for the study were collected from 34 quince plantations. The total energy input of 49,698.33 MJ ha1 was required for quince production. Chemical fertilizers, the single highest source of energy input, accounted for 52.86% of the total energy input. The two next highest energy sources were diesel fuel (16.27%) and electricity (12.85%). The values of energy efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy, and net energy were 1.07, 0.45 kg MJ1, 2.24 MJ kg1 and 3,510.50 MJ ha1, respectively. Estimates made using econo metric models showed that machinery, pesticides, diesel fuel, electricity and water used for irriga tion energy inputs have significantly positive effects on energy yield. The results of the sensitivity analysis of the energy inputs show that the marginal physical productivity (MPP) value of water for irrigation is the highest, followed by electricity and diesel fuel. Keywords: energy efficiency, econometric model, benefit/cost ratio, quince plantations, Turkey.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research.

  • Pādshāh Khatun
    chapter 14 Pādshāh Khatun An Example of Architectural, Religious, and Literary Patronage in Ilkhanid Iran bruno de nicola In comparison to sedentary societies, women in the Turkic-Mongol nomadic and seminomadic societies showed greater involvement in the political sphere, enjoyed a greater measure of financial autonomy, and generally had the freedom to choose their religious affiliations.1 Some women advanced to positions of immense power and wealth, even appointed as regent-empresses for the entire empire or regional khanates. Such examples included Töregene Khatun (r. 1242–46), Oghul Qaimish (r. 1248–50), and Orghina Khatun (r. 1251–59).2 Other women such as Qutui Khatun (d. 1284) in Mongol-ruled Iran accumulated great wealth from war booty, trade investment, and the allocation of tax revenues from the newly conquered territories.3 Through their unique prominence in the empire’s socio-economic system, elite women had an active role in financially supporting and protecting cultural and religious agents. Our understanding of the impact that Chinggisid women had on the flourishing of cultural life in the empire as a whole, and in the Ilkhanate of greater Iran in particular, remains poor, however. The historical record tells us little about the role that Chinggisid female members played as patrons of religious and cul- tural life, especially when comparted to the relative wealth of references to female influence in the political and economic arenas. However, abundant accounts show that female elite members from the local Turkic-Mongol dynasties who ruled as vassals for the Mongols, or had been incorporated into the ranks of the ruling Chinggisid household 270 Pādshāh Khatun | 271 through marriage, played a pivotal role as cultural and religious patrons.

  • Developments in Iran's Agriculture Sector and Prospects for U.S. Trade
    A Report from the Economic Research Service United States Department www.ers.usda.gov of Agriculture Developments in AES-100 Iran’s Agriculture Sector July 2017 and Prospects for U.S. Trade Mesbah Motamed Abstract With one of the Middle East’s largest economies, a growing population, and rising incomes, Iran contributes significantly to the region’s agricultural commodity consumption. Iran’s rising food demand is also pushing against the limits of its own production capacity, which faces tight constraints from geography and climate. The interaction between these forces, as well as larger geopolitical concerns, will shape Iran’s impact on global commodity markets, including markets in which the United States competes. Following an inter- national agreement to remove decades-long sanctions against Iran, atten- tion has increasingly focused on the country’s agriculture sector. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action of 2015 grants Iran greater access to international markets and capital and could significantly affect its production, consumption, and trade of several grain and horticultural products. Moreover, the agreement’s trade provisions specific to agriculture have introduced the possibility of new competition between the United States and Iran. Near-term U.S.-Iran trade is unlikely to return to levels existing before the Islamic Revolution. However, U.S. commodity shipments are currently trickling into Iran, and changing condi- tions in Iran’s economy and agricultural sector may offer U.S. exporters a larger role in meeting Iran’s growing food and feed demand. Meanwhile, as domestic and foreign investment in Iran’s agriculture sector rises in the wake of the agree- ment, yields and efficiencies there are likely to approach levels in neighboring countries, like Turkey, that have common economic and agronomic traits.

  • Shot Hole Disease, Survival and Pathogenicity of the Causal Agent on Stone Fruit Trees in Northeast Iran
    J. Crop Prot. 2014, 3 (4): 563-571______________________________________________________ Research Article Shot hole disease, survival and pathogenicity of the causal agent on stone fruit trees in Northeast Iran Azam Yousefi* and Mohammad Hajian Shahri Department of Plant Protection, Khorasan Razavi Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center, Mashhad, Iran. Abstract: Shot hole caused by Wilsonomyces carpophilus is one of the main constraints to prune fruit production in Iran particularly in Khorasan Razavi province. It causes foliage shot hole in spring and early summer; fruit-spotting and cankers on limbs and twigs during autumn rains. The fungus was isolated from the lesions of twigs and was purified on PDA. The pathogenicity and virulence on detached twigs of stone fruit tree species was examined in vitro. Virulence of the pathogen as measured by lesion length was significantly different among the different host species, showing the nectarine as the most susceptible species. In contrast to other hosts, sour cherry did not show any canker on shoots or twigs and disease progress was just as tissue colonization by the fungus hyphae. However, other species such as prune, cherry, apricot and almond did not show significant differences. The results of bud and shoot evaluations indicated that the fungus overwinters as hyphae and conidia in buds, and in the form of hyphae as well as thick-walled globular chlamydospores in twigs. Additionally, viability of recovered conidia ranged from 33 to 90% throughout the dormant season. A better understanding of disease cycle and survival mode of the fungus will help to manage and prevent the disease.

  • Rashīd Al-Dīn and the Making of History in Mongol Iran
    Rashīd al-Dīn and the making of history in Mongol Iran Stefan T. Kamola A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Joel Walker, Chair Charles Melville (Cambridge) Purnima Dhavan Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2013 Stefan Kamola University of Washington Abstract Rashīd al-Dīn and the making of history in Mongol Iran Stefan T. Kamola Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Joel Walker History The Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh (Collected histories) of Rashīd al-Dīn Ṭabīb (d. 1318) has long been considered the single richest witness to the history of the early Mongol Empire in general and its Middle Eastern branch, the Ilkhanate, in particular. This has created a persistent dependence on the work as a source of historical data, with a corresponding lack of appreciation for the place it holds within Perso-Islamic intellectual history. This understanding of Rashīd al-Dīn and the Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh, however, does not match certain historiographical and ideological strategies evident in the work itself and in other works by Rashīd al-Dīn and his contemporaries. This dissertation reads beyond the monolithic and uncritical use of the Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh that dominates modern scholarship on Mongol and Ilkhanid history. Instead, it fits Rashīd al-Dīn and his work into the difficult process of transforming the Mongol Ilkhans from a dynasty of foreign military occupation into one of legitimate sovereigns for the Perso-Islamic world. This is the first study to examine a full range of Persianate cultural responses to the experience of Mongol conquest and rule through the life and work of the most prominent statesman of the period.
