Resolved Question: Can someone summarize the article 10 points?
ok so i do not know how to summarize it i am not lazy to do it i need help plz don't get mad at me.
i just only need few sentences.
Eustaquio Gil-Pelegrín, co-author of the study and researcher at the Forestry Resources Unit of the Agri-Food Research and Technology Centre (CITA) in Aragón, which has also taken part in the research, explains that "With this method we can also directly estimate, without contact or interference, the water potential of leaves very accurately."
Information about water content enables us to analyse the loss of turgor in the leaves and the internal morphology of their cell layers, which in turn makes it possible to assess the level of development and to see how they are influenced by environmental factors. Research on the status and water potential of plants helps to diagnose the situation of agricultural and natural systems.
Gil-Pelegrin emphasises the effectiveness of the technique, "even to detect critical moments for plants, such as stomatal closure." Gas and liquid exchange takes places through these pores on the surface of the leaf, and [stomata] opening is determined by factors such as light, CO2 concentration and water availability. For example, when there is a drought the stomata close.
Scientists have successfully applied the ultrasound method to the study of perennial leaves (Prunus laurocerasus and Ligustrum lucidum) and deciduous leaves (Populus x euroamericana and Platanus x hispanica).The team also took cuttings of some leaves to ascertain water loss over time, and they observed variations in leaf resonance and even water mass loss as little as 1%. The details of this line of research will soon be published in the Journal of Experimental Botany
moreResolved Question: Chinese missle test Monday? Why Haiti?
Chinese test was successful Monday. Why would China have an interest in Haiti?
China Increasing Involvement in Haiti
More proof that the Monroe Doctrine is dead.
Agents of state-owned Chinese companies are circling large land tracts in Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. The Chinese want to use the land to grow jatropha, a hardy, drought-resistant, perennial plant that produces excellent feedstock oil for biodiesel fuel processing.
A natural barrier against erosion and desertification, jatropha is native to the Caribbean; plantations are already operating in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti.
The crop has the potential of breaking the cycle of poverty in Haiti forever, while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A hectare of jatropha yields 1,892 liters of fuel--more than four times as much as soybean. Not surprisingly, jatropha has been hailed as a miracle plant capable of transforming the developing world.
All of which is truly impressive and inspiring. But the Chinese agenda includes more than environmentally friendly, socially sustainable biofuels. Beijing announced today that it will send the fifth group of riot police, totaling 125 members, to Haiti next month for an eight-month peace-keeping mission. They will bring the total number of riot police officers sent by China to Haiti since October 2004 to more than 1,000.
China's peace-keeping role gives the country a military toehold in Haiti, which, combined with increased Chinese investment on the island, increases Beijing's political leverage over the Haitian government. China's primary objective is to persuade Haiti to end formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Haiti is one of only 25 remaining nations that still recognize the self-ruled island that China regards as a renegade province. Half the Taiwan relations bloc is in the Latin American Caribbean region, in America's backyard.
Secondly, China wants access to raw materials--that is, whatever Haiti and other Caribbean nations might have to offer, as Beijing pursues a policy of securing preferential access to the raw materials of Latin American nations, including anti-American Venezuela, a key Chinese ally. China is about to replace, or, at least, rival the United States as the South American nation's number one oil customer; and Chinese investment in Venezuelan production and refining is increasing.
In the context of this mercantilist-style energy diplomacy, China will cooperate with Venezuela's encroachment effforts. The Castro-loving crackpot of Caracas--Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez--has set his sights on meddling and making trouble for the US throughout the region. Corrupt, seemingly hopeless Haiti is an easy target. Venezuela and China think Haiti has hit rock bottom and is ready for rebuilding--in accord with their interests.
China also wants to increase its ownership of shipping and port facilities in the region, as part of a policy of establishing strategic presence at so-called choke points around the world, including the Panama Canal and the Bahamas. The canal is effectively controlled by Hong Kong stock exchange listed Hutchinson Whampoa, a company controlled by Li Ka Shing, a tycoon with strong ties to China's Communist Party rulers.
