The virulence genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens are induced by specific plant phenolic metabolites and sugars (G. A. Cangelosi, R. G. Ankenbauer, and E. W. Nester, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, in press). In this report, monosaccharides, derivatives, and analogs which induce the vir regulon have been identified and the structural requirements for monosaccharide-mediated induction have been deter...

One novel approach to soft sensing is to use a high fidelity online dynamic simulation model connected to the plant information system. In this approach, the dynamic simulator takes a direct feed of information from the plant process instrumentation and control system, and can then predict process parameters that are not physically measured in the plant. The model can also estimate key equipmen...

Traditional herbal formulae and conventional plant medicines have been recognized as “new” drugs approved in China and the complementary therapeutics appreciated in the West. With over 2,000 years evidence-based implementation in China, traditional plant medicines have showcased incredible modernized botanical drug development, but have not been accepted by international main stream medical mar...

In this paper, we present an approach for the analysis of real-time embedded systems. The analysis is based on the verification of the schedulability of tasks in addition to the verification of requirements on the overall system. The real-time embedded system is interacting with an environment composed essentially from a plant and other computerized software. In our approach we identify the beh...

Software requirements elicitation is a difficult process with many existing problems, and no single elicitation method solves all these problems. We introduce a new way of looking at the requirements elicitation process. Our model shows the requirements elicitation problem as a process of merging the users’ wants and the users’ needs into the same entity. In the context of our model, existing p...

The article presents the results of studies various sesame varieties on irrigation regime and their seed production, as well selection a variety that meets requirements regional conditions. Plant productivity indicators mainly depend length plant stem, regime, grain size number grains per plant. highest yield was obtained from Tashkent-122 variety, where height plant, weight 1000 grains, pods a...

The mineral, total amino acid, and sterol compositions of pollen collected by Apis mellifera L. were compared with the pollen of a plant consumed by Bombus terrestris (L.): Arbutus unedo L. This plant provides the predominant food resource for the main autumn generation of B. terrestris in southern France. Honey bees also forage on this plant, although only for nectar. The mineral composition o...

In this paper we address the problem of middleware design for constructing ATM LAN based distributed industrial plant monitoring and control systems. In particular, we present a real-time clientserver programming model based on a uniform ATM network. This model is being realized in our middleware called MidART. The middleware provides a set of industrial application speci c but network transpar...
