Can biological control defeat Kudzu?
Kudzu is an invasive plant species in the United States. Its introduction has produced devastating environmental consequences.
The name is derived from the Japanese name for the plant East Asian arrowroot.Kudzu is extremely bad for the ecosystems that it invades because it smothers other plants and trees under a blanket of leaves, hogging all the sunlight and keeping other species in its shade
HOW TO CONTROL KUDZU
Many herbicides will kill back the stems and leaves of kudzu; however, most will not provide eradication by killing of the root systems.
The best way to kill kudzu that we have found, is to spray a solution of 1 gallon of vinegar to 1 cup of salt and add a squirt of dishwashing liquid. It may take more than one spraying, but will do the job. It also helps if the day is long and hot after spraying as the sun helps to bake the solution into the plant.

Are severe psychiatric disorders related to biological factors that can be physically measured? Refer to Luxenberg et al., Am. J. Psychiatry, v. 145, no. 9. In this study X-ray computer tomography (CT) was used to measure brain volumes of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and healthy volunteers. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference in mean brain volumes for the OCD and the healthy cohorts. What does this confidence interval suggest about the difference between these two population...
