Future research, some suggested subjects

How weeds produce their effect is the subject of continuing research. As rather recently defined, the negative effect of weeds on crop plants includes both competition and allelopathy (1.) and has been termed interference. Previous weed science research considered the competition component foremost and, usually, solely (e.g. 2). Allelopathy, however, has received some attention recently, with a number of symposia and reviews devoted to allelopathic effects. Some of these cover the effects of weeds on crops (3, 4, 5). In this chapter, I review the possible role of allelopathy in weed interference in crop production in the Mid-South. A second objective of this review is to indicate where research is needed and to suggest potential lines of future research, especially with respect to the developing role of conservation tillage practices in this region. [Pg.22]

In sum, the ICP-MS analyses suggest that Olivella shells are subject to fairly significant post-depositional alteration as shells are exposed to midden soils over hundreds to thousands of years. While discouraging, it does not preclude the application of elemental compositional studies for shell-bead sourcing. Some elements, such as Sc, Zr, and Al, among others not discussed in detail here, remain fairly constant when taken as ratios against Ca. It is these elements that should be the subject of provenance analyses and that we will target in future research with Olivella shell. [Pg.176]

As a final suggestion for future research, cyclobutanones have also provided the organic photochemist with the opportunity of investigating the existence of unusual and reactive intermediates oxacarbenes, trimethylene biradicals, trimethylenemethane biradicals, acyl alkyl biradicals, and ketenes. Evidence for the intervention of oxacarbenes in the ring-expansion reaction is quite compelling however, their unusual behavior relative to "typical" carbenes (e.g., failure to form cyclopropane adducts with some olefinic substrates) makes them prime subjects for further study and characterization. Unlike oxacarbenes, the existence of acyl alkyl biradicals (e.g., [30]) is tenuous at best. Ideally,... [Pg.273]

Coming to the present volume, one aim has been to provide a basis on which the student and researcher in molecular science can build a sound appreciation of the present and future developments. Accordingly, the chapters do not presume too much previous knowledge of their subjects. Professor Scaife is concerned, inter alia, to make clear what is the character of those aspects of the macroscopic dielectric behaviour which can be precisely delineated in the theoretical representations which rest on Maxwell s analysis, and he relates these to some of the general microscopic features. The time-dependent aspects of these features are the particular concern of Chapter 2 in which Dr. Wyllie gives an exposition of the essentials of molecular correlation functions. As dielectric relaxation methods provided one of the clearest models of relaxation studies, there is reason to suggest that dipole reorientation provides one of the clearest examples of the correlational treatment. If only for this reason, Dr. Wyllie s chapter could well provide valuable insights for many whose primary interest is not in dielectrics. [Pg.210]

It is perhaps unwise to attempt to predict the future course of scientific investigations. From the present vantage point, however, one is tempted to suggest that these researches will eventually be regarded as a part of a much greater field of experimentation, one which concerns the dietary necessities of an individual subjected to the stress of some unusual insult-—in this case one of pharmacological nature. [Pg.69]
