The group of scientists -- which included collaborators at Missouri Botanical Garden and Southern Illinois University, Carbondale -- has published the study in the peer-reviewed journal Global Change Biology. Kansas State University researchers involved include Loretta Johnson, professor of biology; Mary Knapp, associate agronomist and state climatologist; and Jacob Alsdurf, master's student in biology, Olathe..."Our results predict that climate change could greatly impact the tallgrass prairie as we currently know it, reducing forage for cattle in the drier parts of grasslands, in places like Kansas," Johnson said. In the Midwest, big bluestem can grow to 4 to 6 feet tall, but the researchers found that climate change could reduce its height by up to 60 percent in the next 75 years. As a result, the form of big bluestem that grows in the central Midwest could come to resemble the form that currently inhabits eastern Colorado on the edge of the species' range. The tall forms of the Midwest grass could shift to the Great Lakes region where big bluestem is currently less common. The research team found that most of the change was because of alterations in rainfall that are expected to occur across the area, not because of increases in temperature. The authors are concerned the dramatic reduction in size of big bluestem foretells a fundamental shift in the nature of the Midwestern grassland ecosystem...The analysis also highlights the effects of climate change on common species that typically are not expected to be as vulnerable to anticipated climate change. Worldwide, 1 in 5 plants is already on the brink of extinction and climate change is only expected to add pressure on species struggling to survive. This study indicates that common species also may be vulnerable, researchers said."

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
Baker's garlic bulbs are currently planted manually one by one. About 40,000-45,000 bulbs per 10 ares are planted in this way. It takes about 21-24 hr.per 10 ares per person. Growers can't easily obtain part time workers for planting, because of the hard work entailed in working on all fours in the hot sandy fields in summer from the end of July to early September.One of the objective of this study is to develop a Baker's garlic planter to solve the labor shortage problem and reduce tedious manual work. Tractor attachment type two semi-automaic planters for six rows, which requires three and two operators to feed bulbs, were newly designed and constructed owing to the request of growers. The trial machines were attached behind the rotary tillage. Operators sitting on the upper the rotary tillage feed the bulbs into the seed cups without processing bulbs before planting operation as with the conventional method. The shutters of the seed cups driven by the ground wheel are then opened to

drop the bulbs vertically on the soft seed bed by the cam shaft.The trial planter can carry out tillage, furrowing planting and soil covering at the same time.The results of the test run obtained more than twice in field capacity and more constant planting intervals and depths as compared with the conventional manual planting method. The semiautomatic planter offers a feasible temporary solution to the problem of manual planting until a fully-automatic one is developed in the future.For the purpose of processing mechanization pf Baker's garlic after harvest, washed and unwashed Baker's garlic processing devices were designed and built. These machines showed the advantage of the safety, the elimination of cutting work of roots and stalks, and decrease of mental stress comparing with the conventional method using kitchen knife. The efficiency and accuracy using washed processing device are lower than the the conventional method.The unwashed processing device has higher performance than using kitchen knife. However, it is further necessary to improve the durability of the timing belts. Less

Scientists from five British Universities have reportedly found a full cure to deadly disease, HIB/AIDS going by a recent blood test.
According to a report by Vanguard Newspaper, a British man with HIV, who is undergoing a pioneering treatment to cure him, has shown remarkable progress.
The research, which is reportedly being carried out by a collaboration of five of Britain's top universities, is organised by the National Health Service.
A British newspaper report says scientists treating the 44-year-old patient are hopeful of a breakthrough in the experts attempts at a full cure for HIV.
It was also reported that recent blood test results showed that the man has no detectable HIV was present.
The new therapy aims to overcome a major barrier to clearing the virus from a sufferer's body that has challenged researchers for decades.
The research by Oxford and Cambridge universities, Imperial College London, University College London, and King's College London, is testing a "kick and kill" technique to first expose, then destroy the virus.

First a vaccine helps the body find infected T-cells. This is then followed by a course of the drug Vorinostat that awakens the dormant T-cells, which then begin producing HIV proteins that act as a homing beacon to the immune system.
Mark Samuels, managing director of the National Institute for Health Research Office for Clinical Research Infrastructure, told the Sunday Times: "This is one of the first serious attempts at a full cure for HIV. We are exploring the real possibility of curing HIV. This is a huge challenge and it's still early days but the progress has been remarkable."
On her part, Imperial College London consultant physician, Professor Sarah Fidler said the treatment worked in the laboratory and there was "good evidence" it will work in patients.
The trial patient told the newspaper that recent blood tests showed no detectable HIV virus was present, although it was too early to confirm that the treatment had worked.

Historian and filmmaker, Brisbane, AU-based Bridget Goodwin has announced that her crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter platform is now up and running for her project Primitive the Movie. Bridget has an excellent track record in movie making and has created some popular and extremely though-provoking movies in the past. She has a knack for sensitively telling amazing secret stories from history that can move the audience.
"I have taken the Kickstarter route to fund my latest project, Primitive the Movie as I could not attract the attention of big name producers in the industry for this project," says Bridget Goodwin. "The screenplay for the movie has already been registered with the Australian Writers Guild. I have also personally shot and edited the video trailer for the movie, thanks to the help of fabulous volunteer actors."
Primitive the Movie is the story of Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict who have kept their love secret for over 30 years so they could continue their work as anthropologists. The Primitive is set somewhere in the 1920s.
Margaret Mead was sent to Samoa to research on the swinging women or in other words, to find out about the 'the origin of the flapper' as swinging young woman of the 20s were known then. In reality, Mead was sent to discover whether the notion of free love and cross-gender sexuality was occurring naturally outside the normal, modernized societies.
Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict were part of a group of anthropologists based at Columbia University in New York. They were involved in ground-breaking research that studied the lives and passions of what was known as the 'primitive' cultures before industrialization overwhelmed them.
Both these women were hugely inspired by the legendary psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud. They were keen to find out whether free love and cross gender love was happening naturally in the society of those times. They also used their some areas of their work to explain and justify their immense love for each other.
According to Bridget's story, Mead and Ruth sustained their work and romance for three long decades. They were able to continue their relationship through secret letters, publications, meetings and even orchestrated research. Though their radical ideas were in sharp contrast to the thinking of traditional and conservative societies of those times, they still went ahead and published them. They continued communication about their research in volumes that later influenced the whole world about the cultures of countries like Japan, Pacific cultures, Bali, Eastern Europe, America and Australia.
Their work was extensive and they soon became household names on account of their brilliant work. However, their love was kept a closely guarded secret until everyone in their circle had died. The Primitive is a truly riveting and dramatic movie based on a true story of love and anthropology.
The campaign started by Bridget Goodwin on Kickstarter has a financial goal of AU$250,000. The deadline for meeting this goal is 30 November, 2017.
About Primitive the Movie:
Primitive is a movie written by historian and filmmaker, Bridget Goodwin. It is based on a true love story of Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict, both anthropologists working on a project to research whether the notion of free love and cross-gender sexuality was occurring naturally outside the conventional and modernized societies. The movie captures the true story of love and anthropology in a truly riveting manner.
