In a trial to determine if flowering cherries (Prunus serrulata Lindl.) were a source of little cherry disease, infection was found in seven of 10 species and cultivars tested. In an orchard trial with the cultivar 'Lambert', fruit symptoms of little cherry occurred in infected trees in the fifth year of fruiting, 8 years after planting. The symptoms also occurred in the two succeeding years, a...

Background Ziziphi spinosae semen (ZSS), dry mature seeds of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H.F. Chow., are widely used in the treatment insomnia, fright palpitations, and profuse dreaming medical treatments. The counterfeit species ZSS, mauritianae (ZMS), Hovenia dulcis Thunb (HDT) from incurva Roxb. acerba Lindl., respectively. However, pharmacopeia is not recorded for ZMS H...

Les théories de l’apprentissage multimédia postulent que la présence visualisations statiques ou animées améliore compréhension textes, mais seulement si les apprenants intègrent ces multiples sources d’information. Cette étude examinait l’effet du signalement par couleurs et labels pour guider génération des liens inter-repr&#...

It has been noticed that all the known binary sequences having the asymptotic merit factor ≥ 6 are the modifications to the real primitive characters. In this paper, we give a new modification of the character sequences at length N = p1p2 . . . pr, where pi’s are distinct odd primes and r is finite. Based on these new modifications, for N = p1p2 . . . pr with pi’s distinct odd primes, we can co...

Rangelands are the most important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Knowledge of plant response to grazing is one of important requirements for rangeland management. Stocking rate is one of main factors in destruction of the vegetation cover in rangeland ecosystems. Livestock grazing has the potential to substantially alter carbon storage in grassland ecosystem. This study examined the effect...

Le troisième discours de Dion Pruse est marqué par des dynamiques pouvoir très tendues, opposant puissance politique et autorité philosophique, une tension générique latente entre le miroir du prince idéal panégyrique la personne réelle souverain : dépassant rhétorique cour, construit relation personnelle avec l’empereur. Parall&...

The present studies report in vitro propagation of a rare and medicinally important orchid Vanda testacea through foliar explants. Explants were cultured on Mitra et al. (M) medium and its combinations with cytokinins (BAP, Kn 1 mgl each) and auxin (NAA 1 mgl) individually and in combination for initiation of regeneration response, proliferation of regenerants and subsequent development of plan...

In this paper, we develop a general theory on the coverage probability of random intervals defined in terms of discrete random variables with continuous parameter spaces. The theory shows that the minimum coverage probabilities of random intervals with respect to corresponding parameters are achieved at discrete finite sets and that the coverage probabilities are continuous and unimodal when pa...
