Zebra complex (ZC) disease on potatoes is associated with Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLs), an α-proteobacterium that resides in the plant phloem and is transmitted by the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc). The name ZC originates from the brown striping in fried chips of infected tubers, but the whole plants also exhibit a variety of morphological features and symptoms for ...

Fractional flow analysis confirms the advantages of surfactant alternative gas injection (SAG) in enhanced oil recovery, but an adsorption phenomenon that has been affected by several factors, weakens the effectiveness of SAG injection. In this study, the effects of sacrificial agent, gas phase, and surfactant concentration on adsorption density on silica mineral were investigated by static and...

A protocol for the cultivation of Larix sibirica Ledeb. by somatic embryogenesis was developed (RF Patent No. 2456344, 2012). The L. collection consisted 22 actively proliferating cell lines (CLs) obtained from immature zygotic embryos. age CLs ranged 1 to 14 years. differed in their growth intensity, embryonic productivity, hormonal balance, and genetic stability, as well regenerative ability....

This paper assesses the significance of stabilizing clay soil with calcium lignosulphonate (CLS) and granite sand (GS). Unconfined compressive strength (qc) hydraulic conductivity (K) are taken as performance indicators effect varying dosages GS (30%, 40%, 50%) CLS (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%) at different curing periods on qc K examined. The best fit regression equations have been proposed to relate u...

This letter extends the constrained least-squares (CLS) optimization method developed to coregister multitemporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images affected by a joint rotation effect and range/azimuth shifts enforcing absence of zooming effects. To take advantage structural information extracted from scene, starts with detection stage that identifies extended targets/areas in images. The s...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is sensitive to light quality. The factory production of rapeseed seedlings for vegetable use and for transplanting in the field requires an investigation of the responses of rapeseed to light quality. This study evaluated the responses of the leaf of rapeseed (cv. "Zhongshuang 11") to different ratios of red-photonflux (RPF) and blue-photonflux (BPF) from light emi...

to performing CLS, so they feel no need to conduct HALS. However, the similar clinical outcomes for CLS and HALS do not mean that HALS is an unnecessary procedure; rather, it means that surgeons can choose the procedure they like. Thus, although I agree with the authors’ conclusion in this present study, if the true value of a HALS right colectomy is to be determined, a comparative, prospective...
