Salinity, where salts concentrate on the soil surface causing severe decline of crop yields, is a worldwide problem. In Tanzania salinity one major degradation challenges affecting over 3.5 million hectares limiting agriculture productivity various crops including rice. Most varieties grown are sensitive to and inadequate tolerant cultivars available in country. A hydroponics mass screening tec...

characteristics of the sample and methodology are published elsewhere [7]. Our database comprised 1,005 individuals above the age of 65 who were interviewed from a predefined catchment population in Chennai, India. This corresponded to a response rate of 72% [3]. The calculations for sample size [7] , the detailed report of the survey, and the characteristics of the catchment population are des...

background & aim: ginger is common named zingber officinale roscoe. belongs to zingiberaceae family which extensively used to pharmaceutic industries in addition to food industries uses. dut to iran is located at world saline lands, salinity is a main problem to native and nonnative plant species cultivation such as ginger and because in plants salinity induces antioxidative and defensive s...

a greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of salinity stress on growth and macroelements contents of two olive varieties under hydroponic conditions. in the research, one-year old saplings of two olive varieties, ‘zard’ and ‘mission’, were subjected to different salinity levels induced by nacl including 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 dsm-1 for 5 months. based on the results, total dry...

Domain-specific modelling (DSM) environments enable experts in a certain domain to actively participate in model-driven development. Developing DSM environments need to be cost-efficient, since they are only used by a limited group of domain experts. Different modeldriven technologies promise to allow this cost-efficient development. [1] presented experiences in developing a DSM environment for...

Personality disorder researchers have long considered the utility of dimensional approaches to diagnosis, signaling the need to consider a dimensional approach for personality disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V). Nevertheless, a dimensional approach to personality disorders in DSM-V is more likely to succeed if it represents an orderly a...

METHOD We interviewed 1489 Winnipeg adults by phone (response rate 70.5%) using th South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), a DS...

Salt stress has detrimental effects on the growth and development of rice seedlings. In present study we assessed salt-responsiveness three coastal landraces namely Nona-morchi, Kalihytta Nara. We conducted two factors pot trial that included five genotypes (three candidates landraces, Binadhan-10 as tolerant check BRRI dhan48 sensitive check) against salinity levels e.g., control (tap water), ...

The shared memory paradigm provides an easy to use programming model for communicating processes. Its implementation in distributed environments has proofed to be harder than expected. Most distributed shared memory (DSM) systems suffer from either poor performance or they are very complicated to use. The DSM system Murks, presented in this paper, is the result of the sobering experiences we ma...

A Gram-stain-positive, non-endospore-forming, haloalkaliphilic actinobacterium, strain CK5T, was isolated from a soil sample, collected at Cape King (Antarctica), and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Cells were cocci with orange pigmentation, non-motile and grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 9.0-9.5 in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Cellular membrane containe...
