2014 A charging chain consisting of alternate insulating and conducting segments is inherently a more uniform structure than a conventional woven fabric charging belt. Consequently, in terms of voltage stability caused by variations in the charging system, a chain should be superior to a belt. In addition, a chain produces no lint and little dust; it is relatively insensitive to moisture and th...

Van Lint and Tonchev (1993, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 62, 252 260) described a sufficient condition for the non-embeddability of a quasi-derived design into a symmetric balanced incomplete block design. In this paper, by using the notion of incomplete designs, this criterion is changed to find certain quasi-derived designs in some special cases. Many infinite series of non-embeddable quasi-deriv...

A study was conducted on a Red Bay sandy loam soil (Rhodic Paleudult) in Jay, Florida, USA, to investigate how interspecific interactions between pecan (Carya illinoensis K. Koch) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) would affect cotton leaf morphology and gas exchange and thereby biomass and lint yield. We quantified specific leaf area (SLA), specific leaf nitrogen (SLN), net photosynthesis (A),...

The non-Abelian gauge structure of the Standard Model implies presence multi-boson self-interactions. Precise measurements in experimental and theoretical studies these interactions allow not only testing nature but also new physics contribution coming from beyond Model. These can be examined using a model-independent way effective theory approach that composes motivation part this study. In pa...

Straw nursery pots (SNPs), which utilize agricultural residues such as wheatstraw and corn stalks as raw materials, can be widely used in the transplantingof seedlings of crops, vegetables, flowers and trees. Plastic nursery pots (PNPs)and direct sowing (DS) were used as controls in evaluating the effects of SNPson plant growth, dry matter partitioning, yields and economic benefits oftransplant...

There is a lack of sufficient information on cotton responses to time and amount of foliar application of potassium (K) under salt stress environment, The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of potassium (as Solupotasse 50% K2O and 18% S) rate and application time on yield and yield components of cotton under saline field condition. A factorial experiment based on randomized ...

SUMMARY Herpes Zoster Cephalicus or Ramsey-Hunt syndrome is second only to Bells palsy as the most common cause of acute facial paralysis. The varicclla zoster virus is thought to be responsible for this syndrome; Involvement or the racial and auditory nerve. In this article, a patient who was admitted with vesticular eruption of the external car with facial paralysis, and auditory symptoms i...

Ultra-narrow row cotton studies were conducted during 1999 at two field sites in northern Florida. One site was naturally infested with Meloidogyne incognita Race 3 and the other with Rotylenchulus reniformis. The fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) was applied broadcast at rates of 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, and 96 kg ai./ha in replicated plots before planting Delta Pine 655 BRR cotton in 25-cm-w...

China is the largest cotton-producer in the World with about 4.5 million tons of lint produced annually, which accounts for over 20% of the World’s total production (Xia et al. 2001). Damage from pests is one of the major limiting factors for cotton production in China, among which cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera Hübner) is a key one (Fang et al. 1992). In the early 1990s, due to the dram...
