Large volume HPGe detectors are commonly used in applications that require good energy resolution and high detection efficiency, but are expensive and difficult to grow. Clover detectors consisting of 4 smaller crystals in a common cryostat are a possible alternative, but traditionally require complex readout electronics. In contrast, the DGF Pixie-4 is a compact, digital spectrometer providing...

A four-year rotation is desirable for potatoes. Proper rotation of crops is one necessary practice for avoiding the holding over of potato diseases in the soil. For potato wilt control at least a four-year rotation should be used. The one shown here makes use of corn, grain, clover, and potatoes. The best basic crop rotation for Western Oregon is grain, clover seed, clover hay, and a cultivated...

There have been many attempts to integrate object-oriented and functional programming. Solving the connicting requirements is dif-cult and only recently has a language, CLOVER, been designed that is both purely functional and purely object-oriented (and retains complete type safety). In this paper, we introduce the CLOVER rewrite rules by presenting a translation from CLOVER to a simple functio...

We describe a simple, conceptual forward analysis procedure for ∞-complete WSTS S. This computes the so-called clover of a state. When S is the completion of a WSTS X, the clover in S is a finite description of the downward closure of the reachability set. We show that such completions are ∞-complete exactly when X is an ω-WSTS , a new robust class of WSTS. We show that our procedure terminates...

Genetic modification of plants by the insertion of transgenes can be a powerful experimental approach to answer basic questions about gene product function. This technology can also be used to make improved crop varieties for use in the field. To apply this powerful tool to red clover, an important forage legume, a population of red clover with a high potential for regeneration in tissue cultur...

We present results of quenched SU(3) hadron spectroscopy comparing O(a) improved Wilson (Clover) fermions with conventional Wilson fermions. The configurations were generated using an O(a) improved 6-link SU(3) pure gauge action at β’s corresponding to lattice spacings of 0.15, 0.18, 0.20, 0.33, and 0.43 fm. We find evidence that fermionic scaling violations are consistent with O(a) for Clover ...

The growth of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus in perishable foods is a well-known cause of food poisoning. In this study, we evaluated sprouting seeds (broccoli, green peas, lentil, mung bean, mustard, radish, red clover, soybean, and triticale) for their antimicrobial activity toward B. cereus. The filter-sterilized seed extracts of red clover, lentil, and mung bean yielded inhibition zones of...
