2014 A statistical model calculation of the compound nuclear contribution to the 12C + 20Ne elastic scattering reaction has been performed. The results indicate that compound elastic scattering may account for most of the cross-section observed at angles larger than 90° c.m., supporting the proposal that the optical potential for the 12C + 20Ne system is considerably more absorptive than for th...

The partial sequence of a gene encoding the COOH terminus of a protein of apparent molecular weight of 160 kD associated with the flagellum of trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi (FL-160 now renamed to FL-160-1) has been previously reported. The COOH terminus of FL-160-1 has an epitope, defined by 12 amino acids, which molecularly miMics a nervous tissue antigen of 48 kD found in myenteric ple...

in order to study the effects of pgpr application methods on essential oil percent and yield of lavender (lavandula angustifolia l.) under drought stress conditions an experiment was performed at islamic azad university, yadegar-e-imam khomeini (rah) shahre-rey branch. this experiment was carried out in a split plot arrangement with randomized complete block design in three replications. experi...

The effects of night temperature on plant morphology and nitrogen accumulation were examined in rice (Oryza sativa L.) during vegetative growth. The results showed that the shoot biomass of the plants was greater at 27°C (high nighttime temperature, HNT) than at 22°C (CK). However, the increase in both shoot and root biomasses was not significant under 10 mg N/L. The shoot nitrogen concentratio...

2,5-Diformylfuran (DFF) is an important biorenewable building block, namely for the manufacture of new polymers that may replace existing materials derived from limited fossil fuel resources. The current reported methods for the preparation of DFF are mainly derived from the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and, to a lesser extent, directly from fructose. 5-Chloromethylfurfural (CMF) ...
