The relevance of studying the growth and development North American cypress tree species in Omsk region is due to short period their use urban landscaping. issues effective production planting material these rocks West Siberian have not been fully studied. landscaping city will expand range conifers reduce anthropogenic load. research devoted study effect stimulants on vegetative reproduction b...

Loxosceles spider venoms cause dermonecrosis in mammalian tissues. The toxin sphingomyelinase D (SMaseD) is a sufficient causative agent in lesion formation and is only known in these spiders and a few pathogenic bacteria. Similarities between spider and bacterial SMaseD in molecular weights, pIs and N-terminal amino acid sequence suggest an evolutionary relationship between these molecules. We...

We study, as hypersurfaces in toric varieties, elliptic Calabi–Yau fourfolds for F-theory compactifications dual to E8 × E8 heterotic strings compactified to four dimensions on elliptic Calabi–Yau threefolds with some choice of vector bundle. We describe how to read off the vector bundle data for the heterotic compactification from the toric data of the fourfold. This map allows us to construct...

Mirror Symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties is by now well established. However, previous approaches to it did not uncover the underlying reason for mirror varieties to be mirror. We are able to calculate explicitly vertex algebras that correspond to holomorphic parts of A and B models of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections in toric varieties. We establish th...

the main goal of this study was to compare of rainfall interception (i) by pinus eldarica and cupressus arizonica plantations afforested in the chitgar forest park in a semiarid climate zone of iran. from the september 2012 to september 2013, gross rainfall (gr) and throughfall (tf) were collected through 10 and 50 rain-gauges, respectively. i was calculated as the difference between gr and tf....

To identify genetic diversity, genetic structure and the relationship among accessions, and further establish a core collection for the long-term breeding of cypress (Cupressus funebris Endl.), the genealogy of breeding parents was reconstructed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Seventeen SSR markers were used to detect molecular polymorphisms among 290 cypress accessions fr...
