Abstract One basic method of improving rangelands in a country is the use of native as well as exotic species of plants adaptable. Among the but introduced species, Atriplex canescens has been introduced in many rangelands, but it is important and necessary to consider it’s effects on native species. In the current study the effect of chemical competition (allelopathy) of Atriplex canescens o...

The classification of two root-infecting fungi, Magnaporthe garrettii and M. griffinii, was examined by phylogenetic analysis of multiple gene sequences. This analysis demonstrated that M. garrettii and M. griffinii were sister species that formed a well-supported separate clade in Papulosaceae (Diaporthomycetidae, Sordariomycetes), which clusters outside of the Magnaporthales. Wongia gen. nov,...

We study the polynomial time counting hierarchy, a hierarchy of complexity classes related to the notion of counting. We investigate some of their structural properties, settling many open questions dealing with oracle characterizations, closure under boolean operations, and relations with other complexity classes. We develop a new combinatorial technique to obtain relativized separations for s...

BACKGROUND Transparent calculation methods are crucial when investigating trends in antimicrobial consumption over time and between populations. Until 2011, one single standardized method was applied when quantifying the Danish pig antimicrobial consumption with the unit "Animal Daily Dose" (ADD). However, two new methods for assigning values for ADDs have recently emerged, one implemented by D...

The aim of the present work was to investigate the Schistosoma mansoni and Fasciola gigantica cross-reactivity between adult worms and egg homogenates of the parasites. Immunoprophylactic effects of crude Schistosoma mansoni worms and egg antigens mixed with or without saponins extracted from Atriplex nummularia were studied followed by challenge with 80 cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni. Our re...
