This study assessed the potential of carbon stock and carbon sequestration rates in Van Panchayat forests at an altitude of 15001800m. The Total forest biomass was 308.3 t ha -1 , of the total biomass tree layer contributed the most, followed by herbs and shrubs. The forest litter biomass varied between 5.4 t ha -1 (in rainy season) and 6.6 t ha -1 (in winter season). Maximum Carbon sequestrati...

Hyaluronan (HA), an abundant polysaccharide found in human bodies, plays a role in the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) maintenance. We had previously found that HA prolonged the lifespan, and prevented the cellular aging of murine adipose-derived stromal cells. Recently, we had also summarized the potential pathways associated with HA regulation in human MSCs. In this study, we used the human pla...

Für den Freistaat Thüringen (16,172 km2) wurden räumlich hochaufgelöste Simulationen mit dem dynamische Agrarökosystemmodell MONICA unter Verwendung von Wetterdaten mit hoher, mittlerer und niedriger Informationsdichte mit durchschnittlich auf Kreisebene gemessenen Winterweizenerträgen aus den Jahren 1992 – 2010 (6.7 t ha) verglichen. Unter Verwendung von Daten einer einzelnen Wetterstation wur...

An experiment on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) was conducted at the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur during November 2012 to April 2013 to find out the suitable foliar doses and application frequency of urea and planofix (NAA). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized complete block desig...

Results are reported of a 3x3x3 factorial trial in which phosphogypsum (PG), dolomitic limestone (DL) and single superphosphate (SS)were applied to sugarcane. The trial was situated on a Kranskop form soil with a moderately toxic aluminium (AI) content. Based on the combined yield responses from the plant and first ratoon crops, treatments with SS were superior to those with PG, and little resp...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In the context of sample evidence alone, the high-alumina (HA) basalts appear to be an unique, and rare variety of mare basalt. In addition to their distinct chemistry, radiometric dating reveals these basalts to be among the oldest sampled mare basalts. Yet, HA basalts were sampled by four missions spanning a lateral range of ∼2400 km, with ages demonstrat...

The graft-versus-leukemia effect of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation is believed to be mediated by T-cell recognition of minor histocompatibility antigens on recipient cells. For minor histocompatibility antigens HA-1 and HA-2, normal cell expression is restricted to hemopoietic cells, and boosting the immune response to these antigens may potentiate graft-versus-leukemia effect without acc...

We describe a novel approach to process bioceramic microparticles and poly(diol citrates) into bioceramic-elastomer composites for potential use in orthopedic surgery. The composite consists of the biodegradable elastomer poly(1,8-octanediol-citrate) (POC) and the bioceramic hydroxyapatite (HA). The objective of this work was to characterize POC-HA composites and assess the feasibility of fabri...

For a classical theory T , H(T ) denotes the intuitionistic theory of T -normal (i.e. locally T ) Kripke structures. S. Buss has asked for a characterization of the theories in the range of H and raised the particular question of whether HA is an H-theory. We show that T i ∈ range(H) iff T i = H(T ). As a corollary, no fragment of HA extending iΠ1 belongs to the range of H. A. Visser has alread...
