Bacterial strains and growth conditions. Fast-growing soybean Rhizobium strains USDA 191, USDA 192, USDA 193, USDA 194, USDA 201, USDA 205, USDA 206, USDA 208, USDA 214, USDA 217, and USDA 257 were isolated from soil or nodules collected in the PRC (20). Slow-growing soybean rhizobium strains PRC 005, PRC 74, PRC 113-2, PRC121-6, PRC 2031, and PRC B15, were oHtained from T. S. Hu, Institute of ...

Results from imaging and lesion studies of item recognition memory have suggested that the hippocampus supports memory for the arbitrary associations that form the basis of episodic recollection, whereas the perirhinal cortex (PRc) supports familiarity for individual items. This view has been challenged, however, by findings showing that PRc may contribute to associative recognition, a task tho...

UNLABELLED Objective. Peritoneal protein clearance (PrC) is recognized as a new marker of systemic endothelial dysfunction and predictor of mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Given that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) could improve endothelial dysfunction in the general population, we aim to explore whether this benefit is ...

Ao citarem tilápia como espécie preferida para consumo (26 22 consumidores), foram caracterização socioeconômica das preferências aquisição peixes. Houve maioria homens em PEN mulheres PRC, sendo as idades médias 41,77 44,62 anos. Baixas escolaridade renda familiar são car...

Regular firing neurons can be seen as oscillators. The phase-response curve (PRC) describes how such neurons will respond to small excitatory perturbations. Knowledge of the PRC is important as it is associated to the excitability type of neurons and their capability to synchronize in networks. In this work we present a novel method to estimate the PRC from experimental data. We assume that con...

In this paper we investigate the Presentational Relative Clause (PRC) construction. In both the linguistic and NLP literature, relative clauses have been considered to contain background information that is not directly relevant or highly useful in semantic analysis. In text summarization in particular, the information contained in the relative clauses is often removed, being viewed as non-cent...

Petri nets have been recognized as a powerful, graphical, and mathematical tool and widely used to model flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). To solve the problem of deadlock prevention for timed Petri nets (TdPN), an effective deadlock prevention policy based on the transition priority is presented in this poster. By analyzing reachability graphs of TdPN, a new class of TdPN named TdS 3 PRC i...

Mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that overproduce the exopolysaccharide alginate are a frequent cause of chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The overproduction of alginate by these strains is often caused by mutations within mucA of the algU mucABCD gene cluster. This gene cluster encodes an extreme stress response system composed of the ECF alternative sigm...

Carcass data from 6,795 Simmental-sired animals born from 1992 to 2001 were used to determine whether adjustment to a constant age, back-fat, HCW, or marbling score would result in differences in heritability of the carcass traits and, correspondingly, if EPD calculated using those variance components and adjustments would result in sire reranking. The endpoints were age (EPA), backfat (EPF), H...

The susceptibility of ring networks to disconnection as a result of one or two node/link failures has led to a number of proposals to increase the robustness of such networks. One class of proposals, discussed primarily in the networking and communication communities, but also advocated for use in parallel and distributed systems, involves the provision of a second ring to improve system throug...
