introduction cultivation of medicinal plants in agricultural ecosystems plays an important role in the diversification and sustainability of these systems (rezaei-chiyaneh & dabbagh mohammadi nassab, 2014). therefore, the application of ecological principles such as multi-ship system seems essential in the production of these plants. zarifpour et al. (2014) in intercropping arrangements of cumi...

It is important to understand the characteristics of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) seedlings that allow them grow vigorously after planting and quickly exceed height surrounding vegetation, resulting in lower weeding costs. Seven stock types, including bareroot container-grown seedlings, were planted two plots with different mechanical-site-preparation (MSP) methods evaluated for survival, h...

It is important to understand which colors are attainable within the limits of specific printers and ink sets. If a printer is incapable of producing a desired color, no amount of color management can make it possible. In addition, there are some colors that can be displayed on an RGB monitor, but not printable using a CMYK device, and vice verse (CMYK representing the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and...

Ann. Entomol. SW. Am. 94(6): 948-953 (2001) ABSTBACT With the exception of responses to semiochemicals, host selection behaviors of D. fiontalis are largely unstudied. To better understand the host finding behavior of D. frontalis, and to identify potential visual disruptants, we evaluated the response of D. fiontulti to multiple-funnel traps of eight different colors. Multiple-funnel traps pro...

We used a next-generation, Illumina-based sequencing approach to characterize the bacterial community development of apple rhizosphere soil in a replant site (RePlant) and a new planting site (NewPlant) in Beijing. Dwarfing apple nurseries of 'Fuji'/SH6/Pingyitiancha trees were planted in the spring of 2013. Before planting, soil from the apple rhizosphere of the replant site (ReSoil) and from ...

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha-s (Gnαs) is a small subunit of the G protein-couple signaling pathway, which is involved in the formation of coat color. The expression level and distribution of Gnαs were detected by quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blot, and immunohistochemistry to investigate the underlying mechanisms of coat color in white and ...

This study recruited 14 young male participants to examine human 4-h maximum acceptable weight of lifting (MAWL) and maximum weight of lifting (MWL) for different modes of asymmetric lifting and containers. The results showed that asymmetric lifting with trunk rotation decreased MAWL and MWL by 9.1 and 17.3%, respectively, and asymmetric lifting with body turn decreased MAWL and MWL by 6.1%, wh...

Radio outflows of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are invoked in cosmological models as a key feedback mechanism in the latest phases of massive galaxy formation. Recently it has been suggested that the two major radio AGN populations – the powerful high-excitation, and the weak low-excitation radio AGN (HERAGN and LERAGN, resp.) – represent two earlier and later stages of massive galaxy build-up....

PROPOSITION The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the color changes of esthetic orthodontic elastomeric ligatures of different shades when exposed to four food colorings commonly found in the diet of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of esthetic orthodontic elastomeric ligatures in the colors pearl, pearl blue, pearl white and colorless, which were immersed for...
