Live migration of virtual hard disks between storage arrays has long been possible. However, there is a dearth of online tools to perform automated virtual disk placement and IO load balancing across multiple storage arrays. This problem is quite challenging because the performance of IO workloads depends heavily on their own characteristics and that of the underlying storage device. Moreover, ...

A comparison of the product yield, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant properties was done in different leafy vegetables/herbs (basil, chard, parsley, and red kale) and fruit crops (bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and squash) grown in aeroponic growing systems (AG) and in the field (FG). An average increase of about 19%, 8%, 65%, 21%, 53%, 35%, 7%, and 50% in the yield wa...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Demand for fresh-market sweet basil continues to increase, but in 2009 a new pathogen emerged, threatening commercial field/greenhouse production and leading to high crop losses. This study describes a simple and effective staining method for rapid microscopic detection of basil downy mildew (Peronospora belbahrii) from leaves of basil (Ocimum basilicum). • ...

One of the reasons why Web APIs are more used to consume open data compared to SPARQL endpoints is the expertise required to use the query language. Therefore, a tool for sharing and reusing existing real queries could help developers on adopting Linked Data. We propose BASIL, a cloud platform that supports sharing and reusing SPARQL queries. In BASIL, loaded queries generate Web APIs that can ...

<span>Intensive dairy farming systems in the sandy soil of northwestern Morocco are based on three successive forage crops per year, including corn. The aim was to evaluate productivity and quality different intensive crop successions corn soil. Three year (winter, spring, summer cropping seasons) were tested according six successions: 1. fallow-corn-corn, 2. oat-corn-corn, 3. berseem-cor...

in order to study the effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield of basil, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in birjand (moud region) in 2010. main plot factor was two irrigation levels (7 and 14 days interval) and nitrogen fertilizer (as urea) was considered as sub plot factor in four levels (0, 50, 100...

in order to study radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping of herb sweet basil and common bean, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran for the growing season of 2008. treatments were 1) sole crop of bean , 2) sole crop of sweet basil, 3) strip intercropping of bean and sweet basil (four rows bean and two...

introduction cultivation of medicinal plants in agricultural ecosystems plays an important role in the diversification and sustainability of these systems (rezaei-chiyaneh & dabbagh mohammadi nassab, 2014). therefore, the application of ecological principles such as multi-ship system seems essential in the production of these plants. zarifpour et al. (2014) in intercropping arrangements of cumi...

AIM The objective of this study is to investigate the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and hepatoprotective effects of the aqueous extract of parsley, basil, and chicory whole plant in normal and dexamethasone (Dex) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS 50 female albino rats were used in this study and divided into 5 groups (for each 10). Group (1) fed basal diet and maintained as negative control group. G...

The reduced availability of water resources in Egypt has imposed the need to intensify use wastewater for crop irrigation alluvial soils. Relevant effects can derive from contents potentially toxic metals (PTMs) supply soils, crops, and groundwater these areas. For this reason PTM content be monitored evaluate minimize health hazards. Therefore, context, two areas SE Nile Delta subjected 25 yea...
