The effects on sucrose yield of varying the time interval between Ethrel and Fusilade Super applications in a combination treatment were tested on variety NC0376. Results suggested that Ethrel applied 12 weeks, and Fusilade Super applied eight weeks before harvesting were the most beneficial. Other varieties which responded to a combination treatment were N19, N12 and N22. Varieties N14, N19, N...

BACKGROUND Analysis of hospital mortality helps to assess the standards of health-care delivery. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study evaluating the causes of deaths which occurred during the years 1995-1999 in a single hospital. The causes of death were classified according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). RESULTS Of the 149,896 patients who wer...

Since the 1990s there have been a number of major changes in the design and conduct of monetary policy. In a globalized environment, there is less time to adjust to shocks and greater need to achieve closer convergence of economic performance among trading partners. As a result, a number of developing countries have adopted exchange rate regimes with more flexibility, and thereby greater scope ...

Previous studies have argued that enhanced activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway can promote tumor cell survival in response to cytotoxic insults. In this study, we examined the impact of MAPK signaling on the survival of primary hepatocytes exposed to low concentrations of deoxycholic acid (DCA, 50 microM). Treatment of ...

Abstract Background and Aims The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) other kidney function markers are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality [1]. It remains unclear whether integrating multiple together can improve CVD risk prediction what would be an appropriate method of integration. In a small general population sample, we recently showed that confirmatory factor ana...

For efficient grassland management, information on the spatial variation of the crop within fields is of the utmost importance. Currently, this mainly depends on qualitative expert knowledge. Quantitative information on the actual status of grass swards at the right moment in the season is important for management decisions, like nitrogen supply, water supply or harvesting. Remote sensing has p...

Genetic Algorithm Combining Operation Tree (GAOT) was constructed to estimate the slump flow of high-performance concrete (HPC) by using seven concrete ingredients. HPC is a highly complex material; because modeling its behavior is extremely difficult, robust optimization techniques are required. GAOT is a type of evolutionary algorithm that simultaneously optimizes functions and their associat...
