Introgression of native species into cultivated germplasm has adapted Vaccinium germplasm to a range of climates and growing conditions for cultivated blueberry. Genetic differences signify phenotypic variance that is observed among blueberry accessions. In addition, variability in geographic and climatic growing conditions between environments or within the same environment across different years may further affect fruit and plant phenotypic expression. As a result, a phenotype is a function of genetic background (G), environment (E), and their interaction (G × E). In addition, other temporally regulated factors such as year (Y) and harvest time (H) impact plant and fruit quality phenotypic variation. Our research aimed to assess the genotypic performance of five blueberry cultivars, including ‘Echota’, ‘O’Neal’, ‘Reveille’, ‘Summit’, and ‘Sunrise’. The selected cultivars were phenotyped for various fruit quality-related traits over two sequential harvests in two years and two locations. Our results indicated that genotype was a significant source of variation for most phenotypic characteristics. Further, the effect of Y × H and G × Y × H significantly affected the majority of studied phenotypic traits. Within the studied genotypes, ‘Reveille’ and ‘O’Neal’ phenotypic stability were consistent across locations and years; additionally, ‘Summit’ phenotypic characteristics were stable across years, environments, and harvests. Clonal plant replicates within a genotype, harvest, and environment, in addition to individual fruit measures, were the most significant sources of variability.}, number={9}, journal={AGRONOMY-BASEL}, author={Redpath, Lauren E. and Gumpertz, Marcia and Ballington, James R. and Bassil, Nahla and Ashrafi, Hamid}, year={2021}, month={Sep} }

The comparison is done across six undergraduate electrical engineering classes where each of the nine instructors have used both homework modalities. Background: Online homework systems have been used for many years, but analysis of their effectiveness is mixed. Previous work has been limited to a small number of classes in a wide variety of disciplines. This article has a larger number of classes and instructors than previous studies. The classes cover many basic topic areas in electrical and computer engineering, so is directly applicable to the audience of these transactions. Research Question: What is the effect of online homework compared to traditional handwritten homework on the performance of the students on the final exams in selected ECE classes? Methodology: Mixed-effects analysis of variance models are used to determine the predictive ability of performance on homework of the two modalities on the performance on the final exams. The data are limited to classes where the instructors have taught the class using both modalities. These models incorporate the effect of modalities for each instructor and the effect of the modalities across all classes. Findings: The result is that there is no significant statistical difference in the two modalities to predict final exam scores. This indicates that the advantages of using the automated online system can be obtained with no detrimental effect on the students’ learning.}, number={3}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EDUCATION}, author={Trussell, H.

We assessed the relationships between avian habitat use and microclimate (temperature, light intensity, and relative humidity) in experimentally created canopy gaps in a bottomland hardwood forest on the Savannah River Site, SC. Gaps were 2- to 3-year-old group-selection timber harvest openings of three sizes (0.13, 0.26, 0.50 ha). Our study was conducted from spring through fall, encompassing four bird-use periods (spring migration, breeding, post-breeding, and fall migration), in 2002 and 2003. We used mist netting and simultaneously recorded microclimate variables to determine the influence of microclimate on bird habitat use. Microclimate was strongly affected by net location within canopy gaps in both years. Temperature generally was higher on the west side of gaps, light intensity was greater in gap centers, and relative humidity was higher on the east side of gaps. However, we found few relationships between bird captures and the microclimate variables. Bird captures were inversely correlated with temperature during the breeding and post-breeding periods in 2002 and positively correlated with temperature during spring 2003. Captures were high where humidity was high during post-breeding 2002, and captures were low where humidity was high during spring 2003. We conclude that variations in the local microclimate had minor influence on avian habitat use within gaps. Instead, habitat selection in relatively mild regions like the southeastern US is based primarily on vegetation structure, while other factors, including microclimate, are less important.}, number={1}, journal={SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST}, author={Champlin, Tracey B. and Kilgo, John C. and Gumpertz, Marcia L. and Moorman, Christopher E.}, year={2009}, pages={107–120} }

                Total inside-bark volume is the most important selection criterion for productivity in tree breeding programs in the Southeastern U.S. Tree breeders typically estimate total inside-bark volume based on outside-bark diameter at breast height and total height without accounting for stem taper or bark thickness. To make a direct determination of total inside- and outside-bark volume, a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) open-pollinated family trial replicated with cultural treatments of weed control and fertilization was measured. This direct measurement was compared to typical volume estimates. In this trial, approximately 40 individuals from each of 25 open-pollinated first- and second-generation families were destructively sampled in the 13th growing season. Selection for volume using a combined-variable (diameter2 * height) equation was found to be highly effective for making volume gain. There was a high correlation between estimated and directly-measured total inside-bark volumes (0.99). Bark thickness and stem taper had low importance for stem volume selection. There was a positive genetic correlation between bark thickness and diameter at breast height (0.66). This indicates that selection for larger diameters may produce individuals with thicker bark, which may eventually affect total inside-bark volume estimates.}, number={1}, journal={SILVAE GENETICA}, author={Sherrill, J.

When the experiments were 12 years old, a total of 316 trees were drilled and 12 mm thick wood increment cores were collected. MFA for each growth ring in the wood core was measured using the SilviScan-2 tool. A quadratic mixed model was fitted to evaluate the MFA variation over different rings. Among the error covariance structures tested in the model, autoregressive order 1 was the best model for producing MFA estimates with the smallest errors. Estimated MFA was about 33° in the pith (ring 1) of the trees and decreased to 18° in the outer wood (ring 11). Full-sib crosses and clones within crosses explained about 12.5% of the total phenotypic variation. Repeatability of full-sib family means (H2f = 0.46) was moderate but repeatability of clone means was high (H2c = 0.79). Although it is possible to improve (decrease) MFA with recurrent selection in tree improvement programs to improve lumber quality, cost efficient and rapid methods for measuring MFA are needed. }, number={6}, journal={CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH}, publisher={Canadian Science Publishing}, author={Isik, Fikret and Gumpertz, Marcia and Li, Bailian and Goldfarb, Barry and Sun, Xuan}, year={2008}, month={Jun}, pages={1676–1689} }

We analyse the spatio-temporal structure of wildfire ignitions in the St Johns River Water Management District in north-eastern Florida. We show, using tools to analyse point patterns (e.g. the L-function), that wildfire events occur in clusters. Clustering of these events correlates with irregular distribution of fire ignitions, including lightning and human sources, and fuels on the landscape. In addition, we define a relative clustering index that summarizes the amount of clustering over various spatial scales. We carry our analysis in three steps: purely temporal, purely spatial, and spatio-temporal. Our results show that arson and lightning are the leading causes of wildfires in this region and that ignitions by railroad, lightning, and arson are spatially more clustered than ignitions by other accidental causes.

The test is developed in the context of multivariate repeated measures (for example, several variables measured at multiple times on many subjects), but can also apply to a replicated spatio-temporal process and to problems in meteorology, where horizontal and vertical covariances are often assumed to be separable. Separable models are a common way to model spatio-temporal covariances because of the computational benefits resulting from the joint space–time covariance being factored into the product of a covariance function that depends only on space and a covariance function that depends only on time. We show that when the null hypothesis of separability holds, the distribution of the test statistic does not depend on the type of separable model. Thus, it is possible to develop reference distributions of the test statistic under the null hypothesis. These distributions are used to evaluate the power of the test for certain nonseparable models. The test does not require second-order stationarity, isotropy, or specification of a covariance model.

Covariance model selection is a necessary component for spatial adjustment to estimate treatment significance. We discuss methods for selecting a covariance model in RCB analyses in the presence of spatial correlation and demonstrate one procedure in detail. The procedure uses three models: the randomized complete block with independent and identically distributed errors (RCBiid), RCB with correlated errors, and models with correlated errors but no block effects. The semivariogram of the residuals from fitting a model with just fixed effects, the likelihood ratio test, and Akaike Information Criterion are used for model selection. To illustrate the procedure, we analyzed winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) forage and corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield in the presence of spatial heterogeneity within blocks from a site‐specific N management study. We compared the selected covariance models to the RCBiid models and to other spatial models with respect to the estimation of treatment significance. The procedure can be extended to any experiment with fixed effects, or with both fixed and random effects, and which may potentially have spatially correlated errors.

Continuous cultures were used to monitor methane production at three liquid dilution rates (3.2, 6.3, or 12.5%/h) and three forage-to-concentrate ratios (70:30, 50:50, or 30:70). Filtered ruminal contents were allowed 6 d of adaptation to diets followed by 7 d of data collection. Forage consisted of pelleted alfalfa and the concentrate mix included ground corn, soybean meal, and a mineral and vitamin premix. The experiment was replicated in a split-plot design. Total volatile fatty acid production averaged 58.0 mmol/d and was not affected by treatment. Molar proportion of acetate increased with increasing forage-to-concentrate ratio. Molar proportion of propionate tended to decrease at dilution rate of 12.5%/h and increased with the medium and low forage-to-concentrate ratio. Culture pH tended to be greater at a dilution rate of 12.5%/h. Methane production that was calculated from stoichiometric equations was not affected by treatments. However, methane production based on methane concentration in fermentor headspace resulted in an interaction effect of treatments. Stoichiometric equations underestimated methane output at higher dilution rates and with high forage diets. Total diet fermentability was lowest at dilution rate of 3.2%/h. Increasing dilution rates increased microbial yield; increasing the proportion of concentrate improved microbial efficiency. Dilution rate and forage-to-concentrate ratio altered the partition of substrate by microbes. Methane production based on actual concentrations differed from values estimated using stoichiometry of end-product appearance.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE}, author={Eun, JS and Fellner, V and Gumpertz, ML}, year={2004}, month={Jan}, pages={112–121} }

Dietary treatments consisted of 1) gamagrass hay and no corn (HNC), 2) gamagrass silage (S) and no corn (SNC), 3) S and low corn (SLC), 4) S and medium corn (SMC), and 5) S and high corn (SHC). Gamagrass fed as hay or silage did not change (P>0.10) milk yield, but corn inclusion tended to increase (P<0.08) milk yield. Yields of milk protein (0.69 vs 0.80 kg/d), lactose (1.23 vs 1.44 kg/d), and solids-not-fat (2.12 vs 2.48 kg/d) tended to be greater for SNC than for HNC (P<0.08). Corn inclusion increased milk yields compared with SNC. Gamagrass fed as silage resulted in a greater feed conversion efficiency than did gamagrass fed as hay (2.16 vs 1.88; P<0.01). Adding corn to S reduced feed efficiency. Conversion of feed N to milk N was greater (P<0.01) for gamagrass fed as silage than for hay. Milk urea N (MUN) concentration was greater (P<0.01) for cows fed HNC than for cows on all other treatments. Feeding S significantly lessened MUN concentration. Including corn at the medium and high levels further reduced MUN concentration (P<0.05). Increased energy from corn at the high level increased milk yield and tended to increase conversion of feed N into milk protein. Gamagrass fed as silage without or with corn improved the N status of the cows, as indicated by lesser MUN concentrations.}, number={5}, journal={Professional Animal Scientists}, author={Eun, J.

However, little is known about the combined effect of elevated [CO2] and nitrogen (N) supply on grain yield. To better understand the interactive effects of these factors on the yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.), we conducted a free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment at Shizukuishi, Iwate, Japan, in 1998–2000, using the japonica cultivar Akitakomachi. The target [CO2] of the elevated [CO2] plots was 200 ppmV above that in the ambient air. Three levels of N were supplied: low (LN, 4 g N m−2), medium (MN, 8 (1998) and 9 g N m−2 (1999, 2000)) and high N (HN, 12 (1998) and 15 g N m−2 (1999, 2000)). The MN level was similar to that recommended to local farmers. Across the 3 years, there was a positive [CO2]×N interaction for grain yield, with yields increasing only 7% with LN but about 15% with MN and HN. A similar interaction was found for fertile spikelet number per square meter. Across N levels and years, the [CO2]-induced increases in yield were closely related but less than the increases in total dry matter production: as a result harvest index (HI) decreased slightly with elevated [CO2]. This decrease in HI was due in part to a reduction in the number of productive (panicle bearing) tillers relative to total tiller number with elevated [CO2]. Yield increases were related most strongly to greater spikelet number per unit ground area, which in turn were due to increases in both panicle number per square meter and spikelet number per panicle. Small increases in individual grain mass with elevated [CO2] had only a minor effect on the overall yield increases. The spikelet number response to elevated [CO2] was limited with LN, but we found no evidence that N supply at levels greater than that recommended (i.e. above the MN level of N supply) resulted in further increases in spikelet number with elevated [CO2]. This suggests that for the cultivars and conditions of this experiment, the [CO2]-induced increases in yield will approach a ceiling at the recommended rates of N supply.}, number={3}, journal={FIELD CROPS RESEARCH}, author={Kim, HY and Lieffering, M and Kobayashi, K and Okada, M and Mitchell, MW and Gumpertz, M}, year={2003}, month={Sep}, pages={261–270} }

Mozzarella and Monterey Jacks were tested at 4, 10, 17, and 38 d of age; process cheese was tested at 4 d. Rheological methods were used to determine the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic and fracture properties. A trained sensory panel developed a descriptive language and reference scales to evaluate cheese texture. All methods differentiated the cheeses by variety. Principal component analysis of sensory texture revealed that three principal components explained 96.1% of the total variation in the cheeses. The perception of firmness decreased as the cheeses aged, whereas the perception of springiness increased. Principal component analysis of the rheological parameters (three principal components: 87.9% of the variance) showed that the cheeses' solid-like response (storage modulus and fracture modulus) decreased during aging, while phase angle, maximum compliance, and retardation time increased. Analysis of the instrumental and sensory parameters (three principal components: 82.1% of the variance) revealed groupings of parameters according to cheese rigidity, resiliency, and chewdown texture. Rheological properties were highly associated with rigidity and resiliency, but less so with chewdown texture.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE}, author={Brown, JA and Foegeding, EA and Daubert, CR and Drake, MA and Gumpertz, M}, year={2003}, month={Oct}, pages={3054–3067} }

Four rings were built to emit elevated levels of CO2. The aim of the FACE system is to provide a level of CO2 enrichment 200 ppm above tmbient throughout the plot, without changing any other aspect of the microclimate within the plot. However, there can be substantial spatial variation in the CO2 level from the center to the edges of the plots. One of our main objectives was to predict the seasonal mean levels of CO2 for multiple subregions within the plots. However, the dataset was very large and followed a nonnormal distribution. Furthermore, the mean and variance were nonstationary. To overcome these difficulties daily means were used rather than individual measurements, the mean was modeled with multiple covariates that varied over both time and space, and the variance was modeled as an increasing function of the square of the distance from the center of the plot. A separable space-time covariance structure was used, and estimation was performed using nonlinear methods, REML, and EGLS.

The half-life for specific activity decay was not extended by the presence of a substrate protein. The results indicated the time needed to maximize pepsin utilization depended on pH and the concentration of pepsin. At the time when all specific activity of pepsin was lost, the average size of pepsin autolysates was between 6.9 and 12.1 amino acid residues, suggesting most peptic protein would be fractionated as digestible protein.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD BIOCHEMISTRY}, author={Qiao, YR and Gumpertz, M and Van Kempen, T}, year={2002}, month={Sep}, pages={355–375} }

Soil properties affecting solute transport vary spatially and temporally within a soil profile and across landscape positions. The objective of this laboratory study was to evaluate water and bromide (Br) transport through 38‐ by 38‐ by 60‐cm‐deep undisturbed blocks of Cecil soil (Clayey, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Kanhapludults) collected from three contrasting landscape positions (interfluve, linear slope, and foot slope) in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Two replicate soil blocks from each position were placed on a grid lysimeter‐plate effluent collection system which facilitated collection of the effluent from 81 discrete cells under −2.5 kPa pressure. Each block was equilibrated for 5 d with a once daily application of 3.5 L of 0.005 M CaSO4 solution by a water drop applicator at a rate of 14 mm h−1 Four‐hundred mL of KBr solution (4000 g Br m−2) was uniformly sprayed onto the soil surface. Thereafter, 3.5 L of 0.005 M CaSO4 solution was applied daily for the duration of each experiment (19–33 d). Effluent volume and Br concentration in the effluent were measured daily for each of the 81 4 by 4‐cm cells. Cumulative water outflow and Br distribution plots, spatial distribution of cumulative effluent percent, frequency plots, and Br breakthrough curves (BTCs) showed that differences in preferential flow of water and Br occurred for soil blocks from different landscape positions. Differences in preferential flow of water and Br were attributed to soil horizon thickness, soil texture and structure, macroporosity, and slope gradient. Preferential flow of water and Br under variably saturated conditions was found to be highly variable within a given soil profile and that differences in the distribution and magnitude of preferential flow occurred across topographic positions.}, number={6}, journal={SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL}, author={Strock, JS and Cassel, DK and Gumpertz, ML}, year={2001}, pages={1607–1617} }

Spatial pattern is one of the most characteristic ecological properties of a species, and reflects environmental and genetic heterogeneity and reproductive population growth acting on the processes of reproduction, dispersal, and mortality. Species of Phytophthora can be dispersed either in soil, via surface water movement down rows, from rain splash dispersal, by air, or via movement by humans or invertebrate activity. Dispersal results in patchiness in patterns of disease or inoculum in soil. In this chapter we discuss the mechanisms of dispersal of members of this important genus and describe several methods that can be used to statistically analyze data for which spatial coordinates are known. The methods include testing spatial autocorrelation for binary data or continuous data, semivariograms, and regression models for spatial data. The goal of spatial pattern analysis is to gain an understanding of the mechanisms of dispersal of propagules and to sort out the physical and biological factors that are important for spread of plant pathogens and ultimately, for disease management. }, number={2000}, journal={ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={Ristaino, JB and Gumpertz, ML}, year={2000}, pages={541-+} }

Phytophthora capsici may potentially be dispersed by one of several mechanisms in the soil, including inoculum movement to roots, root growth to inoculum, and root-to-root spread. Individual components of primary inoculum dispersal were manipulated in field plots by introducing (i) sporangia and mycelia directly in soil so that all three mechanisms of dispersal were possible, (ii) a plant with sporulating lesions on the soil surface in a plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube so inoculum movement to roots was possible, (iii) a wax-encased peat pot containing sporangia and mycelia in soil so root growth to inoculum was possible, (iv) a wax-encased peat pot containing infected roots in soil so root-to-root spread was possible, (v) noninfested V8 vermiculite media into soil directly as a control, or (vi) wax-encased noninfested soil as a control. In 1995 and 1996, final incidence of disease was highest in plots where sporangia and mycelia were buried directly in soil and all mechanisms of dispersal were operative (60 and 32%) and where infected plants were placed in PVC tubes on the soil surface and inoculum movement to roots occurred with rainfall (89 and 23%). Disease onset was delayed in 1995 and 1996, and final incidence was lower in plants in plots where wax-encased sporangia (6 and 22%) or wax-encased infected roots (22%) were buried in soil and root growth to inoculum or root-to-root spread occurred. Incidence of root infections was higher over time in plots where inoculum moved to roots or all mechanisms of dispersal were possible. In growth-chamber studies, ultimately all plants became diseased regardless of the dispersal mechanism of primary inoculum, but disease onset was delayed when plant roots had to grow through a wax layer to inoculum or infected roots in tension funnels that contained small volumes of soil. Our data from both field and growth-chamber studies demonstrate that the mechanism of dispersal of the primary inoculum in soil can have large effects on the temporal dynamics of disease. }, number={2}, journal={PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={Sujkowski, LS and Parra, GR and Gumpertz, ML and Ristaino, JB}, year={2000}, month={Feb}, pages={148–156} }

Measurements for plots in a block (or subplots in a whole plot) are correlated with each other, and these correlations must be taken into account when analyzing repeated-measures data from blocked designs. The analysis is similar to repeated-measures analysis for a completely randomized design, but test statistics must allow for random block × time effects, and standard errors for treatment means must also incorporate block to block variation and variation among plots within a block. Two types of statistical analysis are often recommended for repeated-measures data: analysis of contrasts of the repeated factor and multivariate analysis of variance. A complete analysis of repeated measures should usually contain both of these components, just as in univariate analysis of variance it is often necessary to decompose the main effects into single degree of freedom contrasts to answer the research objectives. We demonstrate the multivariate analysis of variance and the analysis of contrasts in detail for two experiments. In addition, estimation of coefficients assuming a polynomial growth curve is discussed in detail for one of these experiments. The first experiment, a randomized complete block design, is a forest nutrition study of the long-term effects of midrotation nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization on loblolly pine (Pinustaeda L.); the second experiment, a split-plot design, is an air-pollution study of the effects of ozone and acid precipitation on loblolly pine growth. }, number={4}, journal={CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH-REVUE CANADIENNE DE RECHERCHE FORESTIERE}, author={GUMPERTZ, ML and BROWNIE, C}, year={1993}, month={Apr}, pages={625–639} }

Nonlinear functions such as the Weibull function have been used extensively to model the effect of ozone (O3) exposure on yield of several crop species. The usual nonlinear regression model, which assumes independent errors, is not appropriate for data from nested or split‐plot designs in which there is more than one source of random variation. The nonlinear model with variance components combines a nonlinear model for the mean with additive random effects to describe the covariance structure. We propose an estimated generalized least squares (EGLS) method of estimating the parameters for this model. This method is demonstrated and compared with results from ordinary nonlinear least squares for data from the National Crop Loss Assessment Network (NCLAN) program regarding the effects of O3 on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. In this example, all methods give similar point estimates of the parameters of the Weibull function. The advantage of estimated generalized least squares is that it produces proper estimates of the variances of the parameters, estimated yields, and relative yield losses, which take the covariance structure into account. Model selection, hypothesis testing, and construction of confidence intervals are also demonstrated.
