Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

An ozonization system (Ozomax OZO 6VTT, IGT limited, Ontario, Canada) was installed in a commercial plastic-covered greenhouse in Danville, Quebec, Canada (www.savoura.com) to study the effects of the disinfection and recirculation of the nutrient solution in a tomato crop. The ozonization system was compared to a conventional growing system where the nutrient solution was not treated, neither ...

We studied nutrient uptake in relation to water chemistry, stream hydrodynamics, and ecosystem metabolism in two eutrophic lowland streams located near Berlin, Germany. Ambient nutrient uptake rates ranged from 0.180 to 12.880 g NO3-N m22 d21, from 0.035 to 0.517 g NH4-N m22 d21, and from 0.017 to 0.750 g PO4-P m22 d21. Temporal and spatial variability in nutrient uptake rates within single str...

This study describes the identification of aqueous-soluble antigens in Leishmania promastigotes immunologically and biochemically closely related to the major surface antigen. Proteins from surface-iodinated L. braziliensis braziliensis and L. donovani chagasì promastigotes, extracted and separated by partitioning in the detergent Triton X-114, were analyzed. Immunoblotting of the extracted pro...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world (Elert, 2014). However, rice grain production can be affected by nutritional status, depending on the cultivationmethod and soil type: high levels of metals such as aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) decrease plant growth and yield, especially in acidic soils (Ricachenevsky et al., 2010; Kochian et al., 2015), while low nutrient us...

In this article, we introduce a hybrid iteration involving inertial-term for split equilibrium problem and fixed point finite family of asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mappings. We prove that the sequence converges strongly to solution common The results proved extend improve recent Chang et al. [S. S. Chang, H. W. J. Lee, C. K. Chan, L. Wang, Qin, Appl. Math. Comput., \(\bf 219\) (20...

We prove a multi-parameter dyadic embedding theorem for the Hardy operator on multi-tree. also show that large class of Dirichlet spaces in bi-disc and tri-disc, this proves those holomorphic functions bi- tri-disc. completely describe Carleson measures such embeddings. The result below generalizes Arcozzi et al. from bi-tree to tri-tree Carleson–Chang condition box condition. One our descripti...

In 1997, Ruppe R. et al [17] first proposed a Near-Term Digital Radio (NTDR) network system which is a cluster-based ad hoc network intended to be used efficiently for military missions. In the same year, Zavgren J. [18] proposed a management protocol for the NTDR network system. But they both lack the security considerations. In 2003, Varadharajan et al [4] proposed a secure cluster-based ad h...

1 Over application of N fertilizer in cereal production systems continues to be problematic (Biello, 2008). The environmental costs of over applying fertilizer N are highlighted by iconic examples of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and Chesapeake Bay (Ribaudo et al., 2011). This work further noted that N applied at rates that exceed crop needs has a greater risk of leaving the field and degrading...
