The lack of vegetation in cities has led to an increase of the gardening market, with influence on issues such as esthetics, environment, and the psychological conditions of people affected by day-to-day stress. Because of this situation, a gardening project was designed for the road cloverleaf of Poço Fundo, MG. To carry out the project, plant species were surveyed wich might be adequate to the region, regarding climate, soil, and specific characteristics of each plant. After such an evaluation, the following plants were chosen for the city cloverleaf: dragon-tree agave (Agave atenuata), purpleheart (Tradescantia pallida), emerald grass (Zoysia japonica), yellow lilly (Hemerocallis flava), imperial palm tree (Roystonea oleracea), jerivá palm tree (Syagrus romanzoffiana), parakeet flower (Althernanthera ficoidea), pita (Agave americana), Agave angustifolia, and sage-of-gardens (Salvia coccinea). These plants were chosen for being resistant to external factors, for not disturbing the visibility of drivers and preserving the safety of those driving by, and for being inexpensive. Before and after the development of the project, the inhabitants and visitors of the city were asked to give their opinion about it by answering a questionnaire. Upon completion of the project, people realized that the new cloverleaf landscaping became the show window of the city, bringing visual, environmental and economical benefits to Poço Fundo, attracting tourists and even customers to the sugar-cane juice business located there. / As cidades estão constantemente modernizando-se e passando por diversos processos em decorrência de uma urbanização cada vez mais acelerada, ocorrendo uma desarmonia entre o homem e a vegetação. Por causa da falta de vegetação nas cidades, o mercado paisagístico vem crescendo de forma significativa, tendo influência com questão da estética, do ambiente e do psíquico das pessoas, afetado este devido ao estresse do dia a dia. Em decorrência dessa necessidade, foi elaborado um projeto paisagístico para o trevo de Poço Fundo MG. Para a realização do projeto foi realizada uma pesquisa de espécies de plantas adequadas para a região, analisando-se o clima, o tipo de solo e as características específicas de cada planta. No entanto, depois da análise de todos esses critérios, as plantas selecionadas para o paisagismo do trevo da cidade foram a agave-dragão, o coração-roxo, a grama-esmeralda, o lírio amarelo, a palmeira imperial, a palmeira jerivá, periquito, pita, piteira-do-caribe e sálvia-dos-jardins, também por apresentarem uma boa resistência contra os fatores externos, não atrapalharem a visibilidade dos motoristas e preservar a segurança das pessoas que trafegam pelo local, além de não serem plantas caras. Entretanto, antes e depois da implantação do paisagismo nesta área, foi elaborado um questionário para saber a opinião dos moradores e visitantes do município. Após o término do projeto, as pessoas perceberam que o paisagismo somente trouxe benefícios à cidade de Poço Fundo, tanto visuais, ambientais e econômicos, pois valorizou a entrada do município, atraindo turistas e até mais fregueses para o comércio de caldo de cana-de-açúcar, uma vez que é o seu cartão de visita.

De har gjorts få studier på akvariesfiskars beteende. För att bemöta intresset för akvariefiskar så behöver vi veta mer om deras beteende i en artificiell miljö. Syftet med den här studien är att jämföra det utforskande beteendet hos vildfångade och odlade diamanttetror som är en vanlig akvariefisk. Hypotesen är att det finns en skillnad i deras beteende där vildfångade är mer djärva än de odlade. Grupper om fem individer av diamanttetra vildfångade och odlade släpptes ner i en ny artificiell miljö. De filmades i 20 minuter från de att de släpptes i. Testet upprepades 10 gånger med nya individer och för varje försök togs tiden det tog för varje individ att lämpa botten av akvariet och sedan mättes storleken på stimmen för varje grupp. Jag hittade en skillnad i hur lång tid fiskarna tog på sig för att lämna botten men det var ingen skillnad i höjd eller längd på stimmen. Detta visar att de vildfångade visade ett djärvare beteende än de odlade genom att lämna botten snabbare. Den här studien gav information om skillnaden i beteende för vildfångade och odlade diamanttetror och informationen kan användas för fortsatta studier kring akvariefisk. / The behaviour of ornamental fish is not well studied. To meet the needs of ornamental fish hobbyists, we need to know more about the behavior of fish in artificial environments. The aim of this study is to compare the explorative behaviour of wild-captured and farmed fish in a common ornamental fish, the diamond tetra. The hypothesis is that there is a difference between the two groups behavior where the wild-captured tetras are bolder. Groups of five individuals of farmed respectively wild-captured diamond tetra were released in a new artificial environment where they were monitored for 20 minutes. The test was repeated 10 times with new individuals, and the time it took for them to leave the bottom of the aquarium was measured as well as the size of the shoal. I found a difference in the time it took for the individuals to leave the bottom, with the wild-captured tetras leaving the bottom earlier than the farmed fish. There were no differences in height or length of the shoal. Thus, the wild diamond tetra were bolder than the farmed tetras. The study gave information about the differences in behavior between wild-captured and farmed diamond tetra and can give information to further studies about ornamental fish.

Product labeling is increasingly used as a tool to differentiate products with public and private benefits that cannot be readily evaluated by a consumer at the time of purchase. Our research investigates how a labeling program may be applied in the sale of ornamental plants to address two key issues; plant disease and irrigation water use. A choice modeling survey was utilized to estimate consumers' willingness to pay a premium for six ornamental plants with disease-free and/or water conservation certification labels. The results of the mixed logit models show consumers are willing to pay a premium for plants certified as disease-free and/or produced with water conservation practices. The results strongly suggest producers can recoup some of the costs of implementing water conservation measures such as water recycling and disease control measures amid regulatory and drought concerns. Our research also investigated consumers' preferences for multiple third party certifying authorities and whether preferences for the labels varied among consumers. The results showed ornamental plant consumers did not reveal a preference for a particular certifying authority. The results are mixed as to whether willingness to pay for the labels varies among respondents. We show willingness to pay does vary among respondents for three of the plant models indicating preference heterogeneity. / Master of Science

The clown loach Chromobotia macracanthus, is a well known species in ornamental fish circuits although the knowledge about it in its wild environment today is limited. The outtake of 50 million juveniles every year may drive the population into a collapse and it might be necessary to breed clown loaches in captivity to lower the pressure in wild stocks. This has not yet been accomplished without hormone treatment. The aim of the present study is to find out if it is possible for C. macracanthus to prepare for spawning in captivity without the use of hormones. The study was set up according to documentation about the wild conditions simulating the migration prior to spawning from greater rivers and swamps to smaller streams upriver. Although the experiment did not result in spawning it is believed that egg production took place according to criteria for identifying sexually mature fish ready to spawn. If so it would have resulted in the fish retaining or reabsorbing the eggs since they were not laid. A surprising result which tells us it would not be unusual with egg production in C. macracanthus in aquariums around the world.

Many plants are not commercially produced due to a lack of accessible information on their horticultural requirements and landscape potential. Members of the Legume Family (Leguminosae) are often conspicuous components of the vegetation of arid and semi-arid subtropical regions. Many of these plants are suitable for landscaping use in areas suited to their cultivation. Coursetia glandulosa, Erythrina flabelliformis, Eysenhardtia orthocarpa, Haematoxylon brasiletto, Lysiloma watsonii, Pithecellobium mexicanum, and Sophora arizonica are woody legumes native to the Sonoran Desert region which offer a variety of form, texture, color and function. All of these plants grow readily from scarified seed. E. flabelliformis and E. orthocarpa are easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Some irrigation is necessary for establishment and reasonable growth in the landscape. Maintenance and pests are minimal. Freezing temperatures are the primary limiting factor to several of the plants. S. arizonica is slow growing and is prone to rot in the nursery.

Savaiminiai dekoratyvūs augalai nėra labai plačiai auginami gėlynuose, nes dauguma jų nėra tokie išvaizdūs ir dekoratyvūs kaip įvežtiniai augalai. Tačiau savaiminių dekoratyviųjų augalų prisitaikymas prie mūsų gamtinių sąlygų, jų teigiamos savybės, dekoratyvumas leidžia juos auginti įvairiuose gėlynuose bei praplėsti gėlynų panaudojimą. Dėl vis besikeičiančio visuomenės požiūrio į aplinkos ekologinius veiksnius keičiasi ir veisiami želdiniai, tad tenka pripažinti, kad didžiojoje dalyje Pietų Lietuvos želdynuose nebeauginama arba labai mažai auginami savaiminiai dekoratyvūs augalai. Ir nykimo tendencija kasmet vis labiau didėja. Tikslas – įvertinti savaiminių žolinių dekoratyviųjų augalų paplitimą ir panaudojimo galimybes Pietų Lietuvos želdynuose. Įgyvendinant šio darbo tikslą buvo sprendžiami šie uždaviniai: ištirti savaiminių ir introdukuotų dekoratyvinių augalų rūšių įvairovę Pietų Lietuvos želdynuose, nustatyti dažniausiai želdynuose pasitaikančias augalų rūšis, įvertinti savaiminių dekoratyviųjų augalų paplitimo želdynuose ypatumus. Siekiant ištirti pietų Lietuvos želdynus tyrimas buvo atliekamas tokiose Pietų Lietuvos vietovėse: Alytaus mieste, Pivašiūnų miestelyje, Dusmenų miestelyje ir Dusmenėlių kaime. Buvo pasirinkta ištirti tokie objektai: vieši gėlynai (ištirti 10 gėlynų), sodybos (ištirti 15 sodybų), senosios kapinės (ištirti 10 kapaviečių), naujosios (ištirti 10 kapaviečių) ir mažo kaimelio kapinės (ištirti 10 kapaviečių). Iš viso buvo pasirinkta ištirti 55...

However, adaptability to local climatic conditions, their biological and ornamental characteristics make native ornamental plants possible to be grown in various flower gardens. Due to constant changes of point of wiew of the society to ecological problems, estimation of green plantations also changes. Unfortunately, in most South Lithuanian green plantations native ornamental plants are very rarely grown. They are on the verge of extinction in ornamental plantations. The aim was to estimate distribution of native ornamental plants and possibility of their using in South Lithuanian green plantations. To achieve the aim such tasks were solved: 1) to investigate the diversity of native ant introduced ornamental plants in South Lithuanian green plantations, 2) to reveal the most common native and introduced species of plants, 3) to estimate the peculiarities of usage of native ornamental plants in green plantations. The research was carried out in four localities of South Lithuania: Alytus, the towns of Pivašiūnai and Dusmenys and Dusmenėliai village. The following objects were selected for research: public flower gardens (10), housing estates (15), old graveyards (10), new graveyards (10), a graveyard of a little village (10 graves). Totally, 55 objects of green plantation were investigated. During investigation 95 species of... [to full text]

L’art des Turkmènes qarâ qoyunlu (782-873 h./1380-1468) et âq qoyunlu (780-914 h./1378-1508) alongtemps été dédaigné dans l’histoire de l’art du monde iranien. Pourquoi assimiler systématiquement cesoeuvres aux productions timourides ? Ne pourrait-on donc parler d’un « art turkmène » ? À partir d’un corpusde cinquante ensembles décoratifs en céramique, l’objectif de cette étude est de retracer une histoire desproductions turkmènes, de leurs formes, de leurs techniques, et d’en comprendre les articulations artistiques.L’ensemble des monuments qarâ qoyunlu et âq qoyunlu connus est dans un premier temps exploré,regroupés selon une présentation régionale : un parti pris permettant de souligner la force de traditionsartistiques locales autour de centres tels que Tabriz, E½fahân, Yazd ou encore Kâshân. Cette approche liminaireest suivie d’une analyse technique et ornementale des céramiques architecturales. Le dernier axe de cetterecherche s’intéresse à l’organisation de la production. L’enjeu est d’abord de comprendre les confluencesartistiques complexes s’exerçant alors en Iran, avant de s’arrêter sur les acteurs de cette production : lesmécènes et les artisans.Cette étude cherche à apporter un regard nouveau sur certains pans de la céramique architecturaleislamique. La « charnière turcomane » constitue en effet un jalon important de l’histoire de l’art : un point decontact avec les territoires timouride, mamlouk et ottoman frontaliers, et une passerelle vers les Empiresmodernes du siècle suivant. / Qarâ Qoyunlu (782-873 h./1380-1468) and Âq Qoyunlu (782-873 h./1380-1468) Turkman’s art haslong been disregarded in the art history of the Iranian world. This research brings the nature of Turkman art intoquestion, through the example of tiling art. Based on a group of fifty ornamental ceramic groups, this studyattempts to trace the history of Turkman decorative features, their designs, their techniques, and to understandtheir artistic connections.This research first proposes to explore every known qarâ qoyunlu and âq qoyunlu monument, sharedout among regional groups so that the strength of the regional traditions could be underlined around suchartistic centers as Tabriz, E½fahân, Yazd, or Kâshân. This part is followed by a technical and ornamental studyof Turkman tiles. The last component of that research is the organization of the production. It aims to givestatements about artistic confluences in Iran, and then to present actors of tiling production : the patrons andcraftsmen.This study intends to bring a new eye on some groups of Islamic tiles. The Turkman transition makesan important step in history of art: a meeting point between Timurid, Mamluk and Ottoman’s borderlineterritories, and a bridge to Modern Empires of the next century.
