It tolerates drought and some salinity, but not shade. The aggressive bermudagrass is ideal on athletic fields and golf courses. What are the physical and environmental limitations? Sunlight, water quantity and quality, soil pH, soil type and internal soil drainage are important factors when selecting different species.īased on LSU AgCenter research results, turfgrass specialists have arrived at the following brief descriptions of how different grasses can be expected to behave in Louisiana.īermudagrasses, also called wiregrass or couchgrass, are planted in almost every turf setting across Louisiana. A great grass that is not sustained adequately will die out and/or go to weeds. What is the level of maintenance (money and time)? Turfgrass should be selected according to the amount of resources and time one is willing to invest. What is the intended use of the turf area? Some grasses have a utilitarian purpose, such as true ball roll on a golf green, sustainability or wear tolerance on athletic turf or a dog yard. To select the appropriate turfgrass, one must answer these questions: The LSU AgCenter has been conducting adaptation research on some of these species for over 35 years. Selection of the proper species of turfgrass for each location and use is critical for the long-term sustainability of the turf. Augustinegrass, carpetgrass and seashore paspalum – can all be viable choices for permanent turf in Louisiana it just depends on the local environment, use, soil type, preference and how much you are willing to put into the turf.

Cool-season grasses – such as tall fescue, bluegrass, creeping bentgrass, perennial ryegrass and annual ryegrass – are not adapted to Louisiana. Turfgrasses are of two general types: cool-season and warm-season grasses. From Saturday night in Tiger Stadium to golf courses, lawns, cemeteries, sod farms, airports, roadsides and parks, turfgrasses provide environmental, economic, recreational, employment, health, safety and aesthetic benefits to Louisiana. ![]() New episodes of WandaVision premiere on Friday on Disney+. “I was totally the elder statesman,” she adds with a laugh.

Extra features: A delayed-start mode, a third oven rack, a temperature probe, food-specific presets, Sabbath modes, or scan-to-cook modes are great additions, but only when combined with good basic functionality and a fair price.You should also be able to see and hear the timer clearly.

![]() The Pascal calculator, invented by French inventor and mathematician Blaise Pascal, was lauded for attempting arithmetic calculations previously thought impossible. In 1642, the first true “calculator” was invented: one that performed calculations through a clockwork-type of mechanism. While these devices greatly assisted calculations, they were not true “calculators,” merely assisting the person doing the mental calculation. The “bones” are thin rods, which are inscribed with multiplication tables, and the user determines their sum by changing the vertical alignment of the rods, and horizontally reading the multiplication tables. Unfortunately, the abacus was not very useful for multiplication or division, necessitating the invention of a new and more sophisticated device.įast forward 4,500 years to 1617, when Scottish mathematician John Napier published Rabdology, or “calculation with rods.” In his writing, Napier described a device that came to be known as Napier’s bones. Other cultures altered and refined the abacus the Chinese, for example, put beads on wire within a bamboo frame to enhance ease of use. The abacus was a table of successive columns with beads or stones representing a single unit, which could be used for addition or subtraction. The first tool created specifically for use in mathematical computations was the abacus, likely invented in Sumeria around 2500 B.C. But that doesn’t mean that mathematical tools were not available before the 20 th century-there were many different computing machines created long before digital calculators and smartphones. That being said, the calculators we know today were not invented until the 1970s, and the use of smartphones as calculators did not begin until at least the late nineties. It is almost impossible for us to imagine mathematics without something as seemingly simple as a calculator. Here, the professionals at Techmart take you through the history of the calculator, and how we came to have the ubiquitous devices we use every day.
