Enhanced degradation of atrazine has been reported in the literature, indicating the potential for reduced residual weed control with this herbicide. Experiments were conducted to determine the field dissipation of atrazine in three cropping systems: continuous Zea mays L. (CC) receiving atrazine applications each year, Gossypium hirsutum L.-Z. mays rotation (CCR) receiving applications of atra...

Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. (CCR) is developing advanced backward wave oscillators (BW0s) operating from 300 GHz to more than 1 THz. The BWOs will be used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as local oscillator sources in heterodyne receivers for low-background astronomy observations and remote sensing. Above 100 GHz, only BWOs have broad tunability (over 100 GHz) and high o...

We introduce resource-bounded betting games, and propose a generalization of Lutz’s resource-bounded measure in which the choice of next string to bet on is fully adaptive. Lutz’s martingales are equivalent to betting games constrained to bet on strings in lexicographic order. We show that if strong pseudo-random number generators exist, then betting games are equivalent to martingales, for mea...

Leukocyte chemokine receptors (CR) are central to the pathogenesis of many human diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. Elderly individuals infected with the HIV-1 virus have a shorter disease-free interval and worse clinic outcome. However, the reasons for this are unclear. We recently reported increased CC chemokine receptor (CCR) expression in CD4+ T cells in a...

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of a Bcr-Abl fusion protein with deregulated tyrosine kinase activity that is required for maintaining the malignant phenotype. Imatinib, a selective inhibitor of Bcr-Abl, induces major cytogenetic remission (MCR) or complete cytogenetic remission (CCR) in the majority of patients with CML in first chronic phase. However, thoro...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that a new emergency medical services (EMS) protocol for treating patients who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), cardiocerebral resuscitation (CCR), significantly improves survival compared to standard advanced life support (ALS). However, due to their different physiology, it is unclear if all elders, or any subsets of elders who are OHCA victim...

In this study, the financial performance of 10 logistics companies operating in storage, transport and services sector Turkey is evaluated for years from 2011 to 2017 by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. accordance with purpose input variables are selected as total assets, equity number employees whereas output net sales, profit before interest tax amount exports. measuring performa...

The paper considers spin systems on the d-dimensional integer lattice Z with nearestneighbor interactions. A sharp equivalence is proved between decay with distance of spin correlations (a spatial property of the equilibrium state) and rapid mixing of the Glauber dynamics (a temporal property of a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm). Specifically, we show that if the mixing time of the Glauber ...

Continuing a line of investigation that has studied the function classes #P [Val79b], #SAC [Val79a, Vin91, AJMV], #L [AJ93b, Vin91, AO94], and #NC [CMTV96], we study the class of functions #AC. One way to define #AC is as the class of functions computed by constant-depth polynomial-size arithmetic circuits of unbounded fan-in addition and multiplication gates. In contrast to the preceding ∗Part...
