Verticillium dahliae infection of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is a major cause of disease-induced wilting in soil-grown strawberries across the world. To understand what components of the pathogen are affecting disease expression, the presence of the known effector VdAve1 was screened in a sample of Verticillium dahliae isolates. Isolates from strawberry were found to contain VdAve1 and we...

BACKGROUND Concerns on human and environmental safety and label claims of many microbicides point to the need for safer, faster acting, and broad-spectrum substitutes. ACCEL TB, a 0.5% accelerated H(2)O(2) (AHP)-based disinfectant described here, is a potential candidate. METHODS ACCEL TB was tested for its broad-spectrum microbicidal activity, safety and materials compatibility using interna...

Title of Dissertation: COMPATIBILITY TESTING FOR COMPONENTBASED SYSTEMS Ilchul Yoon, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Alan Sussman Department of Computer Science Many component-based systems are deployed in diverse environments, each with different components and with different component versions. To ensure the system builds correctly for all deployable combination...

in this paper, a new framework has been developed for compatibility analysis of predictive climatic variables distribution with reference evapotranspiration (eto) in probabilistic analysis of water requirement. initially, measured monthly meteorological data of four cities of iran including kerman, shiraz, ramsar and babolsar synoptic weather station recorded from 1961 to 2003 were considered b...

Consciousness in experimental subjects is typically inferred from reports and other forms of voluntary behaviour. A wealth of everyday experience confirms that healthy subjects do not ordinarily behave in these ways unless they are conscious. Investigation of consciousness in vegetative state patients has been based on the search for neural evidence that such broad functional capacities are pre...
