This paper researches the relationships between sub-center cities, satellite cities and core cities in Jingjinji Area, Huninghang Area and Pearl River Delta. It also covers the connections between Chinese housing market and stock market. It uses an unique dataset called China Real Estate Index System (CREIS) to measure the Chinese housing prices. Through correlations, Granger causality tests and regression models, this paper concludes there are indeed connections for the movements in housing prices in the surrounding cities relative to Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen in the three city groups, and there is no sufficient evidence to show the existence of the connection between Chinese housing market and stock market.

The Medieval English dream vision evidence influences from a variety of earlier vision literature, notably the apocalyptic vision and narrative dream. Philosophical visions by Plato, Cicero and Boethius, and Christian revelations of John and Paul contain traits that found their way into the dream poems by Langland, the Pearl poet and Chaucer. The Norwegian ballad Draumkvedet exhibits features that mirror these English visions. Notable characteristics pertaining to the character of the dreamer, the interplay between dreamer and dream, imagery of the vision, and structure, point to a common set of generic influences. Comparing Draumkvedet with its English counterparts demonstrates that they stem from the same tradition. Draumkvedet bares special resemblance to the Dream of the Rood, Piers Plowman and Pearl in its exploration of Christian doctrine and its appeal to the audience.

In the introduction, doctoral thesis as a complex technological project uses the summary title Stability of production. Stability of production is defined as a maintaining the required properties of the system over a given time period. Stability of production, based on the literature study included: – generally known systems and concepts, for example Process Stability, System Stability, Toyota Production System, Lean Manufacturing, etc. – less-known systems and concepts, for example Maintaining the fidelity of the production program, Stable order-sequence concept. The practical part of the doctoral thesis is focused on the less-known concept: Stable order-sequence. The task of the Stable order-sequence is to follow the sequence of orders given by the planned production program in the course of the production and at the end of production. Maintaining the sequence of the orders has a positive experience in the logistics activities between the final producer and its suppliers. As it was found by the planned experiment for a full factory plan, the sequence of orders in the material flow of original equipment manufacturer is influenced mainly by: – the cause of the removing orders from material flow, – the effect of the causes LIFO stack vs. branched material flow, – the effect of the causes LIFO stack vs. branched material flow vs. the removing from the material flow. By the analysis of Stable order-sequence, it was found that the methodology of the concept contains deficiencies. It does not state how to choose for example the size of the time period, time interval, data editing etc. By this lack, the subject can skew the results in the evaluation of the indicator PFT0 up to 4 %. Or by using of suitable adjustment, the value of the indicator PFT0 can be improved more than 50 %. To test the concept of a Stable order-sequence in practice has been designed technological project with the support of discrete-event simulation. It was about the implementation of new management logic to the stack behind the welding of original equipment manufacturer. The new logic of management was designed with an emphasis on Stable order-sequence concept, to arrange the orders in process according to the planned sequence. On the base of the functionality verification of the new stack logic, it was found that the logic affects the sequence of the orders, but not fundamentally. In tracking the hourly intervals for 25th calendar week 2013, the value of PFT0 was not improved in 37 cases, the value remains in 30 cases and the value was improved by the value of the median 18,68 % in 30 cases orders.

Apesar das diversas aptidões de uso do milheto (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), como forragem para pastoreio ou silagem, cobertura do solo e alimentação humana, alguns fatores são limitantes para a expansão do cultivo dessa espécie no Brasil e um dos agravantes é a qualidade física e fisiológica das sementes comercializadas. Assim, este trabalho visou aplicar as técnicas de condicionamento fisiológico, peletização e incorporação de fósforo às sementes para favorecer a implementação e o desenvolvimento da cultura em campo. O experimento envolveu sementes do cultivar BRS 1501, representadas por três lotes, com condicionamento envolvendo água e soluções de PEG6000, enquanto que a peletização foi testada inicialmente com adesivos (PVA, PVP k30, bentonita e Metil celulose) e diferentes produtos em pó com base inerte ou fosforada. As avaliações consistiram de testes físicos iniciais, testes fisiológicos por seis meses de armazenamento, desenvolvimento das plantas em campos com diferentes disponibilidades de fósforo no solo e avaliações químicas de fósforo total e fosfatase ácida em plântulas e plantas de milheto. Não há diferemça significativa na germinação das sementes e emergência das plântulas originadas de sementes pré condicionadas. A peletização das sementes é uma alternativa viável para alteração do volume das sementes sem alterar seu desempenho fisiológico. Em relação à incorporação de fósforo ao pélete das sementes, há efeito significativo no desenvolvimento das plântulas, assim como para a absorção deste macronutriente. Por outro lado, há impacto significativo de materiais e doses específicas sobre a qualidade fisiológica das sementes, principalmente do fosfato bicálcico. / Beside the many aptitudes of the pearl millet (stock feeding, hay, soil layer protection and food in general), some factors limit its expansion in Brazil, being generally, the low physical and physiological seed quality on the market as one of the harshest problems. Thus, this study aimed at applying physiologic conditioning techniques, pelleting and phosphorus application on seeds to improve seedling emergence and crop development in the fields. The experiment used 3 seed lots of BRS 1501 cv, with water and osmotic solution conditioning, while pelleting was tested with 4 different binders (PVA, PVP k30, bentonite and Methil celulose) and different inert and phosphorate powder products. The evaluations consisted of initial phisical tests, followed by physiological tests for 6 months of storage, Field development under 2 different phosphorus soil content and, chemical evaluations as total P content and acid phosphate on pearl millet seedlings and plants. The results show no significant difference on the seedling emergence and germination of physiological conditioned seeds. The seed pelleting was effective on improving seeds volume without harming seed physiologic performance. Regarding phosphorous incorporation through seed pellet, the results show significant effects on the seedling development, as well as it´s absorption. However, with significant impact of specific materials and quantities on the seeds physiologic performance, especially with Bicalcic phosphate.

First, the field survey campaigns have been carried out from March 22, 2007 to December 27, 2007 around 5-15 days in the interval in the study area of Nansha Island. The field work includes the survey of spatial distribution of various land use and crop types and the ground measurements of the crop biophysical parameters (such as the plant height, leave area index, fresh biomass, and plant water content) and the soil parameters (such as the soil water content and surface roughness parameters) of rice field and sugarcane field. And at the same time, the ENVISAT ASAR data were acquired from March 22, 2007 to December 27, 2007 in the interval of 35 days. During the acquisition dates of the ENVISAT ASAR data, the field surveys were also conducted. / Fourth, the sufficient ground measurements and simultaneous C-band HH- and VV-polarized SAR data of sugarcane crop have enriched the knowledge of understanding the temporal radar scatter mechanisms in sugarcane canopies. The C-band VV-polarized radar backscatters are larger than those of HH-polarization during the sugarcane growth cycle, and the difference is around 0.5 dB to 2 dB. The theoretical model MIMICS was adapted in modeling the scattering terms in sugarcane fields to interpret the temporal behavior of radar backscatters. For more robotic operation, the empirical regression models were used in estimation of the sugarcane LAI and fresh biomass, and mapping the sugarcane growth situation. The accuracies of the sugarcane LAI map and Biomass map are 0.74 and 0.70, respectively. / In conclusion, the C-band ENVISAT ASAR data can be efficiently used in the Pearl River Delta to monitor the crop growth, including the crop spatial distribution, crop acreages, and crop growth situation evaluation. The efficient crop growth monitoring program can not only help instruct the flexible farming actions, but also estimate the crop yield production for the decision-making government. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) / Second, field surveys were combined with the ENVISAT ASAR data to map the agricultural area. The analysis of the temporal radar backscatter characteristics of various land cover categories demonstrated that the time series of C-band SAR data is efficient in separating the eight land cover categories (rice paddy, sugarcane, banana, lotus ponds, mangrove wetlands, fish ponds, seawater, and buildings) in the PRD. The decision tree classifier is also approved to work efficiently on satellite SAR images with an overall accuracy of 77% and the Kappa coefficient of 0.74. The acreages of the land cover categories were also derived from the classification result with accuracies from 70% to 90%. / The Pearl River Delta is a typical developing region. It lies in the cloud-prone and rainy area of south China with multi-species of crops cultured in the agriculture areas. With a goal of developing an efficient, timely and accurate crop growth monitoring program in this area, field measurement, satellite SAR remote sensing technique, quantitative analysis of the crop biophysical parameters, and radar backscatter modeling methods have been integrated to study the multi-temporal and multi-polarized SAR data in estimating plant parameters (LAI, fresh biomass) of rice and sugarcane crop, and mapping the agricultural land cover categories of the study area in the PRD. / Third, in the study of rice growth monitoring, the trends of the relationships between C-band radar backscattering coefficients and rice parameters (plant height, LAI, fresh biomass, et al.) are proved to be constant with the reports in previous literatures. It was demonstrated that the differences between HH- and VV-polarized backscatter are not so evident (around 0.5 dB) in rice paddy canopies during the crop growth cycle. Moreover, by inducting a semi-empirical soil surface scattering component, a modified Water Cloud Model was developed to simulate the radar backscatter in rice crop canopies in different ground background situations (water surface, and soil surface) and to estimate the rice LAI and above ground fresh Biomass with reasonable accuracy. The rice growth conditions were displayed by LAI map and Biomass map generated from the model estimation, and the accuracies of the LAI and Biomass level classification are 0.77 and 0.71. / Wang, Dan. / Advisers: Hui Lin; Jin-Song Chen. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 72-11, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 132-138). / Electronic reproduction.

A espécie é considerada a principal praga da videira no Brasil. No primeiro ínstar, a dispersão da cochonilha é realizada com o auxílio de formigas doceiras principalmente a Linepithema micans (Forel, 1908) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) que se associa à cochonilha na busca de excrementos açucarados. Nesse trabalho, foi avaliado o efeito de iscas tóxicas a base de hidrametilnona no controle de L. micans, e consequentemente, na infestação de E. brasiliensis em novos plantios de videira. Inicialmente foi realizado um experimento em vasos em casa de vegetação em outubro de 2014 com a finalidade de selecionar formulações de iscas tóxicas à base de hidrametilnona (“grânulo pequeno”, “grânulo grande”, tipo “cereal” e gel) para o controle de L. micans. As iscas tóxicas foram oferecidas ad libitum em porta-iscas com substituição semanal. As avaliações foram realizadas semanalmente registrando o número de formigas forrageando a cada 10 minutos durante uma hora sobre uma solução aquosa de açúcar invertido 70%. A melhor formulação de isca tóxica selecionada em casa de vegetação foi avaliada a campo em dois experimentos, realizados em áreas naturalmente infestadas pela pérola-da-terra e por L. micans. No primeiro, foram efetuadas aplicações semanais de 450 g/ha da isca tóxica em Flores da Cunha, RS, e no segundo, foi avaliado uma e três aplicações semanais da mesma dose em Caxias do Sul, RS. Mudas do porta enxerto Paulsen 1103 foram plantadas em agosto de 2014 para o experimento em Flores da Cunha e em novembro de 2015 no experimento de Caxias do Sul, respectivamente. O monitoramento populacional das formigas foi feito semanalmente através de armadilhas subterrâneas do tipo “pitfall” utilizando mel e sardinha embebidos em algodão. A avaliação dos experimentos foi realizada em maio de 2015 (Flores da Cunha) e 2016 (Caxias do Sul), contando o número de cochonilhas presentes nas raízes. No experimento em casa de vegetação, a isca tóxica a base de hidrametilnona formulada em “grânulo pequeno” e “grânulo grande” controlaram a população de formigas nas primeiras quatro semanas após o fornecimento da isca. A isca tóxica formulada em gel também proporcionou mortalidade de 100% da população de formigas, no entanto seu controle foi mais lento, quando comparado as outras formulações. A isca “cereal” não proporcionou controle das formigas. A isca tóxica formulada em “grânulo pequeno” selecionada como a mais eficaz em casa de vegetação, fornecida semanalmente no campo, controlou a população de L. micans em 100% reduzindo a infestação da 8 pérola-da-terra em 99,9%. Quando o número de aplicações da isca foi reduzido para 1 a 3, houve um controle de 100% na população de formigas no tratamento que recebeu três aplicações até a quarta semana após o fornecimento da isca, porém as colônias se restabeleceram ao longo do experimento e os tratamentos (uma e três vezes) não foram eficazes no controle das espécies. Conclui-se que a formulação granulada à base de hidrametilnona “grânulo pequeno” é eficiente no controle de L micans em casa de vegetação e em aplicações semanais no campo. Aplicações de uma e três vezes da isca tóxica não proporcionaram controle satisfatório das espécies sendo necessário ajustar o número de tratamentos para um controle eficaz e econômico de E. brasiliensis e L. micans. / In Brazil, Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Wille) (Hemiptera: Margarodidae) is considered to be the main pest of vine plants, attacking the roots of cultivated and wild plants. Linepithema micans (Forel, 1908) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is the primary agent responsible for spreading the Eurhizococcus brasiliensis, which are attracted by the honeydew excreted by the scale insect. In this work, the effect of a hydramethylnonbased granular toxic bait on the control of L. micans and E. brasiliensis in grapevines was evaluated on young grapevines. An experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in October 2014 and planted in individual pots were used to select different formulations of toxic baits based on hydramethylnon (small granule, large granule, cereal and gel) for the control of L. micans. The toxic baits were provided ad libitum in bait holders, with baits being replaced weekly. Weekly evaluations were carried out during a period of 10 weeks, with the number of foraging ants being counted every 10 minutes during 1 hour, in an aqueous solution of 70% inverted sugar. The best formulation of toxic bait selected in greenhouse was evaluated in the field in two experiments, carried out in areas naturally infested withe the scale and L. micans. In the first experiment 450 g/ha/week of the toxic bait were applied in Flores da Cunha, RS, and in the second, one and three weekly applications of the same dose were evaluated in Caxias do Sul, RS. In August 2014, seedlings from the Paulsen 1103 rootstock were planted in Flores da Cunha and in November 2015 in Caxias do Sul. The ants was monitored weekly in-ground pitfall traps using a honey and water solution (70%) and sardine conserved in oil absorbed in cotton wool as food attractants.The evaluation of the experiments was carried out in May of 2015 (Flores da Cunha) and 2016 (Caxias do Sul), counting the number of scale insects present in the roots.The experiment conducted in a greenhouse, the hydramethylnon based toxic bait in the formulation small granule and large granule controlled the ant population in the first 4 weeks of application.The gel formulation of the hydramethylnon toxic bait also provided 100% mortality of the population of ants; however, its control was slower when compared with the other two formulations and the cereal formulation did not differ from the control. The small granule toxic bait, applied weekly, effectively reduced the infestation of L. micans, controlling 100% of the population of ants and reducing the infestation of E. brasiliensis by 99.9%. When the number of bait applications was reduced to 1 to 3, there was a 100% reduction in the ants in the treatment that received three applications until the fourth week after application of the bait, but the colonies were re-establishment.The small granule toxic bait, applied weekly, effectively reduced the infestation of L. micans in greenhouse and field.The reduction of the number of applications (one and three times) did not provide satisfactory control and it will be 10 necessary to adjust the number of treatments for an efficient and economical control of the two species.
