Garner et Allard notèrent que plusieurs espèces fleurissaient après une série de jours courts ou de nuits longues, comme le suggérèrent les études ultérieures. Ces espèces, comme le xanthium, le chrysanthème, la poinsettia et le volubilis, furent baptisées plantes nyctipériodiques (plantes de jour court); d'autres, comme la betterave, l'aneth, l'ivraie, l'épinard, la jusquiame, le radis, une variété de tabac ainsi que de nombreuses céréales, désignées sous le nom de plantes héméropériodiques (plantes de jour long), suivent le processus inverse : elles commencent à éclore lorsque les jours s'allongent. 5, record 2, French, - plante%20nyctip%C3%A9riodique

[Switching value is the] value that reverses the ranking of two alternative projects. For example, Farm A will produce beef with high technology equipment and few workers, while Farm B will consist of a low-technology operation employing many farm workers. Up to a weight of 1.5 on income going to the poor, Farm A has a higher rate of return. However, if a weight greater than 1.5 is given, Farm B will have a higher rate of return. The switching value, therefore, is 1.5. 3, record 4, English, - switching%20value
