For ma ny ye ars these sma ll shrubs have be en noted grow ing bes ide the trails in the Pa rk in some of the most xe ric hab itats , especia lly pine -he ath communities , along with othe r ericaceous plants . By close examination of the clima tology, soils and associated ve ge tation of the se habit ats, it was hoped tha t some clues might be found as to what factors allow �- floribunda to survive a�d re produce in the se xe ric habitats . Through inve stigat ion of the above and. ce rtain aspects of the aute cology of Pieris, the ve geta tiona l role of this he ath shrub in this particular community might be clarified .

The Chinese during the Exclusion Era The Chinese became victims of American racism after they arrived in Him Lai Mark California in large numbers during the mid nineteenth century. Even while their labor was exploited for developing the resources of the West, they were targets of discriminatory legislation, physical attacks, and mob violence. Assigned the role of scapegoats, they were blamed for society's multitude of social and economic ills. A populist anti-Chinese movement ultimately pressured the U.S. Congress to pass the first Chinese exclusion act in 1882. Racial discrimination, however, was not limited to incoming immi- grants.

    Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE ERICACEAE (Heath Family) A family of about 107 genera and 3400 species, primarily shrubs, small trees, and subshrubs, nearly cosmopolitan. The Ericaceae is very important in our area, with a great diversity of genera and species, many of them rather narrowly endemic. Our area is one of the north temperate centers of diversity for the Ericaceae. Along with Quercus and Pinus, various members of this family are dominant in much of our landscape.

Main Key, for use with flowering or fruiting material 1 Plant an herb, subshrub, or sprawling shrub, not clonal by underground rhizomes (except Gaultheria procumbens and Epigaea repens), rarely more than 3 dm tall; plants mycotrophic or hemi-mycotrophic (except Epigaea, Gaultheria, and Arctostaphylos). 2 Plants without chlorophyll (fully mycotrophic); stems fleshy; leaves represented by bract-like scales, white or variously colored, but not green; pollen grains single; [subfamily Monotropoideae; section Monotropeae]. 3 Petals united; fruit nodding, a berry; flower and fruit several per stem . Monotropsis 3 Petals separate; fruit erect, a capsule; flower and fruit 1-several per stem. 4 Flowers few to many, racemose; stem pubescent, at least in the inflorescence; plant yellow, orange, or red when fresh, aging or drying dark brown ...............................................Hypopitys 4 Flower solitary; stem glabrous; plant white (rarely pink) when fresh, aging or drying black .

Recently, heterogeneously integrated silicon and lithium niobate (Si/LN) optical modulators have demonstrated attractive overall performance in terms of optical loss, drive voltage, and modulation bandwidth. However, due to the moderate Pockels coefficient of lithium niobate, the device length of the Si/LN modulator is still relatively long for low-drive-voltage operation. Here, we report a folded Si/LN Mach–Zehnder modulator consisting of meandering optical waveguides and meandering microwave transmission lines, whose device length is approximately two-fifths of the unfolded counterpart while maintaining the overall performance. The present devices feature a low half-wave voltage of 1.24 V, support data rates up to Citation: Sun, S.; Xu, M.; He, M.; 128 gigabits per second, and show a device length of less than 9 mm.

  • Ericaceae Root Associated Fungi Revealed by Culturing and Culture – Independent Molecular Methods
    a Ericaceae root associated fungi revealed by culturing and culture – independent molecular methods. by Damian S. Bougoure BSc (Hons) Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Horticulture and Plant Sciences University of Western Sydney February 2006 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although I am credited with writing this thesis there is a multitude of people that have contributed to its completion in ways other than hitting the letters on a keyboard and I would like to thank them here. Firstly I’d like to thank my supervisor, Professor John Cairney, whose knowledge and guidance was invaluable in steering me along the PhD path. The timing of John’s ‘motivational chats’ was uncanny and his patience particularly, during the writing stage, seemed limitless at times. I’d also like to thank the Australian government for granting me an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) scholarship, Paul Worden from Macquarie University and the staff from the Millennium Institute at Westmead Hospital for performing DNA sequencing and the National Parks and Wildlife Service of New South Wales and Environmental Protection agency of Queensland for permission to collect the Ericaceae plants. Thankyou to Mary Gandini from James Cook University for showing me the path to a Rhododendron lochiae population through the thick North Queenland rainforest. Without her help and I’d still be pointing the GPS at the sky. Thankyou to the other people in the lab studying mycorrhizas including Catherine Hitchcock, Susan Chambers, Adrienne Williams and particularly Brigitte Bastias with whom I shared an office. Everyone mentioned was generally just as willing as I was to talk about matters other than mycorrhizas.

Introduction. This document requests the addition of a nine Cyrillic characters to the UCS, extending the set of combining characters introduced in the Cyrillic Extended A block (U+2DE0..2DFF). These characters occur in medieval Church Slavonic manuscripts from the 10th/11th to the 17th centuries CE which are at present the object of scholarly investigations and publications in printed and electronic form. They are also used in modern ecclesiastical editions of liturgical and religious books. The set comprises nine superscript letters for which examples from representative primary sources are given. Printed samples of all units proposed for addition are to be found in the new Belgrade table, worked out by a group of slavists in 2007-08 (cf. BS). They also occur in certain Cyrillic fonts composed for scholarly publications, like the one designed by Victor A. Baranov at Izhevsk Technical university. 2. Additional combining characters. Principally, the superscription of characters in medieval Cyrillic manuscripts and printed ecclesiastical editions fulfils two major functions—the classification of abbreviations (in addition to other means, inherited from the Greek mother-tradition: per suspensionem— for common words of liturgical rubrics, and per contractionem—for nomina sacra, cf.
