This year six crosses for Pierce’s disease (PD) resistant table and raisin grapes using seedless parents were made, resulting in 2,398 ovules and 747 embryos. These crosses were based on Muscadinia and V. tiliifolia sources of resistance. Nineteen seeded crosses consisting of 3,950 emasculations and 49 bagged clusters were made. These crosses were based on V. arizonica, Muscadinia, and southeas...

In [2], Alexeev constructed a proper moduli space of polarized toric varieties. However, in addition to the main component containing the toric varieties, there were additional irreducible components which were tricky to eliminate in a canonical way. Later, Olsson [1] showed how adding a log structure to the toric varieties under consideration effectively restricted the problem enough to single...

We construct endomotives associated to toric varieties, in terms of the decomposition of a toric variety into torus orbits and the action of a semigroup of toric morphisms. We show that the endomotives can be endowed with time evolutions and we discuss the resulting quantum statistical mechanical systems. We show that in particular, one can construct a time evolution related to the logarithmic ...

Monodisperse sub-10 nm Rh nanocubes were synthesized with high selectivity (>85%) by a seedless polyol method. The {100} faces of the Rh NCs were effectively stabilized by chemically adsorbed Br- ions from trimethyl(tetradecyl)ammonium bromide (TTAB). This simple one-step polyol route can be readily applied to the preparation of Pt and Pd nanocubes. Moreover, the organic molecules of PVP and TT...

Let k be a totally real field, and let A/k be an absolutely irreducible, polarized Abelian variety of odd, prime dimension whose endomorphism rings is non-trivial and is defined over k. Then the only strictly compatible families of abstract, absolutely irreducible representations of Gal(k/k) coming from A are tensor products of Tate twists of symmetric powers of two-dimensional λ-adic represent...

Let V be a p-adic representation of the absolute Galois group G of Qp that becomes crystalline over a finite tame extension, and assume p 6= 2. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for V to be isomorphic to the p-adic Tate module Vp(A) of an abelian variety A defined over Qp. These conditions are stated on the filtered (φ,G)module attached to V . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classificatio...
