dodder is an obligate parasite of many plant families and among dodder species cuscuta campestris has the most diverse around the world. extensive infestation to dodder recently has been reported in some sugerbeet production regions of khorasan provinces. so, in this study greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to test and charachterize the tolerance of commercial sugarbeet varieties t...

recently‎, ‎the authors gave some conditions under which a direct product‎ ‎of finitely many groups is $mathcal{v}-$capable if and only if each of its‎ ‎factors is $mathcal{v}-$capable for some varieties $mathcal{v}$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we extend this fact to any infinite direct product of groups‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎we conclude some results for $mathcal{v}-$capability of direct products of infinitel...

A sprain/strain syndrome or "whiplash injury" is the most common cervical injury associated with rear-end impact motor vehicle accidents. This results in a complex injury, often associated with extensive soft tissue injury in the cervical spine. There is additional potential for long term alteration in neurologic, muscular, and skeletal function. Evaluation and treatment should follow standard ...

PURPOSE The initial goal of this study was to test the immunologic and clinical effects of a new cancer vaccine consisting of dendritic cells (DC) transduced with the full-length wild-type p53 gene delivered via an adenoviral vector in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Twenty-nine patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer were vaccinated repe...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship, if any, between pesticide exposure and overexpression of the HER-2/neu oncoprotein in extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ESSCLC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The records of all patients with a diagnosis of ESSCLC from January 1991 through April 2001 were reviewed in our retrospective study. Pesticide risk (herbicide and insecticide)...

Politicians adopt a variety of linguistic strategies in their speeches to connect with their audience. To name one, appraisal, as a system of interpersonal meaning, is concerned with evaluation where resources are used for negotiating social relationships. Despite their significance in shaping texts, there have hardly been any extensive inventories of appraisal tools contrasting electoral speec...

Wettability alteration is an important method for increasing oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. Chemical agents like surfactants are known as wettability modifiers in carbonate systems. Oil can be recovered from initially oil-wet carbonate reservoirs by wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet condition with adding dilute surfactant and electrolyte solutions. This paper inv...

Since the beginning of the nineties, the CEA (the French Atomic Energy Commisssion), has been being developing ultrasonic modeling tools dedicated to NDT simulation and, over the years, integrated in the CIVA software platform. The models allow to compute ultrasonic beams generated by transducers in the inspected components, to conceive phased arrays transducers and to predict echoes arising fr...
