The Rhizobium leguminosarum h o s t-range (Sym) plasmid, pJB5JI, is a 130 Mdal conjugative plasmid which carries the genes for host-specificity (i.e., for peas) and some of the genes for ni trogen-fixation. We have t ransferred plasmid pJB5JI into different species of Rhizobium and examined the symbiotic propert ies of the result ing transconjugants. The donor strain R. leguminosarum 6015 (pJB5...

Hadron masses are calculated in quenched lattice QCD in order to probe the scaling behavior of a novel fatlink clover fermion action in which only the irrelevant operators of the fermion action are constructed using APE-smeared links. Light quark masses corresponding to an mπ/mρ ratio of 0.35 are considered to assess the exceptional configuration problem of clover-fermion actions. This Fat-Link...

INTRODUCTION The Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI) is one of the instruments used for measuring a dysphagic patient's self-assessment. In some ways, it reflects the patient's quality of life. Although it has been recognized and widely applied in English speaking populations, it has not been used in its present forms in Persian speaking countries. The purpose of this study was to adapt a Persian ve...

BACKGROUND Due to negligence, Persian (Iranian) traditional medicine has had a weak presence in the world of research for a long time. However, in recent years, a variety of activates by research and faculty centers have created awareness and a platform to introduce and promote Persian medicine to the world. The aim of this study is to present and analyze scientific achievements of Persian medi...

tion, pest or disease resistance, or reseeding ability (Harris, 1987; Brink et al., 1999). Widdup et al. (1996) found Small-type white clover, Trifolium repens L., plants predominate that only 10 of 98 ecotype collections from throughout in most closely grazed pastures in the southeastern USA. The role of relative seed production in stand persistence of white clover types the eastern USA were l...

As a plant produces more stolons and stolon branches it expands in area and is made up of clonal members. In established white clover (Trifolium repens L.) populations, seedBecause of decay of older stolons and environmental ling recruitment is rare and plants spread by clonal growth, which could lead to low intraspecific genetic diversity. To assess how populadisturbance, a clone frequently fr...

Large volume HPGe detectors are commonly used in applications that require good energy resolution and high detection efficiency, but are expensive and difficult to grow. Clover detectors consisting of 4 smaller crystals in a common cryostat are a possible alternative, but traditionally require complex readout electronics. In contrast, the DGF Pixie-4 is a compact, digital spectrometer providing...

A four-year rotation is desirable for potatoes. Proper rotation of crops is one necessary practice for avoiding the holding over of potato diseases in the soil. For potato wilt control at least a four-year rotation should be used. The one shown here makes use of corn, grain, clover, and potatoes. The best basic crop rotation for Western Oregon is grain, clover seed, clover hay, and a cultivated...

There have been many attempts to integrate object-oriented and functional programming. Solving the connicting requirements is dif-cult and only recently has a language, CLOVER, been designed that is both purely functional and purely object-oriented (and retains complete type safety). In this paper, we introduce the CLOVER rewrite rules by presenting a translation from CLOVER to a simple functio...
