The purpose of the current study was to identify sources economically valuable traits and properties winter bread wheat for their purposeful introduction in breeding programs. carried out inter-station testing 2019–2021. objects were 66 varieties various ecological geographical origin sown after maize grain. Weather climatic conditions during years quite diverse, which made it possible most fur...

The notion of mild context-sensitivity was formulated in an at tempt to express the formal power which is both necessary and sufficient to define the syntax of natural languages. However, some linguistic phenomena such as Chinese numbers and German word scrambling lie beyond the realm of mildly contextsensitive formalisms. On the other hand, the class of range concatenation grammars provides ad...

Almost 40 years ago, the first pathogenic human retrovirus was discovered and shown to cause a T-cell leukemia in humans (Poiesz et al., 1980a, 1981). Thus, a new paradigm was established showing that a virus can directly cause cancer in humans. At that time, the only other suspected case was the connection between the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Burkitt’s Lymphoma and later nasopharyngeal car...

There has been intense research interest in moving object indexing in the past decade. However, existing work did not exploit the important property of skewed velocity distributions. In many real world scenarios, objects travel predominantly in only a few directions. Examples include vehicles on road networks, flights, people walking on the street, etc. The search space for a query is heavily d...

We have studied graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after transplantation of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) mobilized by either recombinant canine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rcG-CSF) alone or combined with stem cell factor (rcSCF). These studies were prompted by the observation of extremely rapid and sustained engraftment of growth factor-mobilized PBSC in the autologous...

The formation of oblique ribs of bivalve shells usually has been attributed to processes of reaction-diffusion of morphogens from cell to cell at the mantle margin or neural activation and lateral inhibition in the mantle. In particular, such ribs appear with high rates of lateral diffusion. Nevertheless, theoretical models fail to explain either partially or wholly some varieties of oblique ri...

PURPOSE To compare in vivo retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and axonal transport at 1 and 2 weeks after an 8-hour acute IOP elevation in rats. METHODS Forty-seven adult male Brown Norway rats were used. Procedures were performed under anesthesia. The IOP was manometrically elevated to 50 mm Hg or held at 15 mm Hg (sham) for 8 hours unilaterally. The RNFLT was measured by spectral-d...

We present the reddening (E(V −I)) and Extinction maps in V -band (AV ) and I-band (AI) for 48 Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment II (OGLE-II) Galactic bulge (GB) fields, covering a range of −11 < l < 11, with the total area close to 11 square degrees. These measurements are based on two-band photometry of Red Clump Giant (RCG) stars in OGLE-II V I maps of GB. We confirm the anomalous val...

Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a newly discovered receptor found in the intestine, and possibly in other epithelia, that binds bacterial heat-stable enterotoxins (STa). The receptor has now been stably expressed in human embryonic 293 cells, which do not normally contain the receptor. Cyclic GMP concentrations are elevated 40-fold in response to 1 microM STa, and membranes obtained from the overp...

AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to considerate the effective usefulness of preoperative stress test and echocardiography in adult patients with coronary artery disease, undergoing non-cardiac surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the last three years, 200 patients aged 58-85, affected by stable ischemic pathology, undergoing non cardiac surgery, and treated with oral drugs, were enrolle...
