we say that a finite group $g$ is conjugacy expansive if for anynormal subset $s$ and any conjugacy class $c$ of $g$ the normalset $sc$ consists of at least as many conjugacy classes of $g$ as$s$ does. halasi, mar'oti, sidki, bezerra have shown that a groupis conjugacy expansive if and only if it is a direct product ofconjugacy expansive simple or abelian groups.by considering a character analo...

Chocolate characters not only originate in flavor precursors present in cocoa beans, but are generated during post-harvest treatments and transformed into desirable odor notes in the manufacturing processes. Complex biochemical modifications of bean constituents are further altered by thermal reactions in roasting and conching and in alkalization. However, the extent to which the inherent bean ...

A case was presented with the report of abortion in a jersey crossbred cow about 4 th month of gestational age. Samples were collected from aborted cow and aborted foetus. The samples were found to be negative for Brucella spp., Leptospira spp., and Camphylobacter spp. Cultural and biochemical characters identified as Trueperella pyogenes. Further, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using gene spe...

A plantation trial of six selected clones of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. laid out in randomized block design at four sites in northern India during July, 1996 was evaluated for growth, physiological and biochemical parameters. Genotype-site interactions were significant for collar diameter increment, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic pigments, total solubl...

Cysticercosis is an infection of muscles in cattle and buffaloes, which occurs due to the larval stage of Taenia saginata. Cysticercosis has worldwide distribution but is more common in developing countries due to poor hygienic measures. Hematological and biochemical tests may be used as alternate for the diagnosis of cysticercosis within the local setting. The present study was aimed to invest...

The use of biochemical and genetic characters to explore species or population relationships has been applied to taxonomic questions since the 60s. In responding to the central question of the evolutionary history of Triatominae, i.e. their monophyletic or polyphyletic origin, two important questions arise (i) to what extent is the morphologically-based classification valid for assessing phylog...

Morphological examination of soldiers and imagos assigned to Nasutitermes corniger or N. costalis from 13 Neotropical countries and 42 West Indian islands revealed congruent characters and biometric overlap. A portion of themitochondrial DNA 16S rRNA genewas sequenced from nine N. costalis and N. corniger samples. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the N. costalis/corniger DNA sequences relativ...

the aim of this note is to characterize the finite groups in which all non-linear irreducible characters have distinct zero entries number.

Low-salt solid-state fermentation soy sauce was prepared with defatted soy bean and wheat bran. Biochemical changes during the aging of the soy sauce mash were investigated. Results showed that after a 15-day aging period, the contents of total nitrogen, formol titration nitrogen, free amino acids, reducing sugar, total sugar and the brown color were increased. However, pH was decreased during ...
