Swietenia mahagoni Jacq. commonly known as West Indian Mahogany belongs to the family Meliaceae and is a valuable tree of commercial and ethno pharmacological importance. The present review aims to compile the scattered information regarding the morphological features, chemical constituents and medicinal importance of the plant. The different parts of S. mahagoni Jacq. (Leaves, bark, fruits) ar...

R. Ricci A. Bacci V. Tugnoli S. Battaglia M. Maffei R. Agati M. Leonardi BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Little is known about the metabolic properties of brain edema associated with tumors. This work was conducted on the basis of the assumption that, in the presence of intra-axial and extra-axial brain tumors, the white matter involved by the edema is a site of metabolic change that involves the struc...

Laboratory, growth chamber and multiyear field studies were conducted with prominent cropping systems of the subtropical northwestern states of India including rice–wheat, rice–mustard, rice–rapeseed, soybean– wheat, soybean–rapeseed, groundnut–wheat, and groundnut–sunflower by including legumes (moongbean, cowpea, sesbania, pigeon pea) to investigate the role of integrated nutrient management ...

We have cloned the nodFE operon from Sinorhizobium sp. strain MUS10. MUS10 NodF shows sequence homology to acyl carrier protein and enables an S. meliloti nodF mutant to effectively nodulate alfalfa. Our results demonstrate the occurrence of nodFE in a symbiont that nodulates a legume host not belonging to the galegoid group.

In this paper we will put forward our view on the computational modeling of music cognition with respect to the issues addressed in the Music Performance Panel held during the MOSART 2001 workshop. We will focus on issues that can be considered crucial in the development of our understanding of human performance and perception in its application to computer music systems. Furthermore, they were...

A series of field experiments was conducted at BARI central farm to observe the changes in soil densities, moisture retentive properties, and crop productivity as influenced by different tillage depths and cropping patterns. The tillage depth showed significant effect on wheat yield. Grain yield of wheat significantly increased from 2.86 t/ha (minimum tillage depth) to 5.33 t/ha (tillage depth ...
