We discuss a 3-flavour lattice QCD action with clover improvement in which the fermion matrix has single level stout smearing for the hopping terms together with unsmeared links for the clover term. With the (tree-level) Symanzik improved gluon action this constitutes the Stout Link Non-perturbative Clover or SLiNC action. To cancel O(a) terms the clover term coefficient has to be tuned. We pre...

Red clover ( L.) is a cool-season forage legume grown throughout the northeastern United States and is the most widely planted forage legume after alfalfa ( L.). Red clover provides high-value feed to the livestock because of high protein content and easy digestibility. To date, genomic resources for red clover are scarce. In the current study, a de novo transcriptome assembly of red clover was...

The adhesion of rhizobia to surfaces of clover roots was examined by an indirect plate-counting assay and phase-contrast microscopy. The number of Rhizobium trifolii cells attached to clover root segments increased in approximately linear fashion during the first hour of incubation, but did not change appreciably thereafter. The addition of 30 mM-2-deoxy-D-glucose, which effectively inhibits bi...

This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of crop rotation and various tillage systems onthe chemical and biological properties of soil in the years 2013-2015. The first order factorincluded cropping systems: a) crop rotation (pea – winter wheat – spring wheat) and b)monoculture of winter wheat, whereas the second order factor were tillage systems:1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3...

results at three days, one month, three months, and six months after pea compared to pre-pea evaluations, the pain scores and medication intake were significantly decreased. significant pain relief declined from 95% at three days to 75% at six months. conclusions pea for low back pain due to contained disc herniation is a safe and effective procedure. therefore, it may be considered as an optio...

some growth parameters of pea (cv. pleven 4) and vetch (cv. obrazets 666) after treatment with organic fertilizer were studied in a field trial carried out at the institute of forage crops, pleven, bulgaria. humustim as organic fertilizer was applied through presowing treatment of seeds, treatment during vegetation and combination between both, at different doses. ratios of aboveground weight t...

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among Iranian women. Nowadays, the use of traditional medicinal plants has emerged as a tempting complementary to the treatment of breast cancer due to minimal side effects and less documented drug resistance. The aim of this study was to examine the anticancer effects of the essential oils of red clover and mature fruit of Bass...

Efficient livestock production from pasture requires an understanding of preference and selection by grazing animals. Selective grazing influences diet not just in the short-term but more importantly, in the long-term through its affect on pasture composition. This paper summarises techniques developed to explore the nutritional basis for preference in complementary indoor and field studies. In...
