Protein extracted from boll weevil larvae causes abscission of cotton flower buds and debladed petioles. Abscission of buds is preceded by a rapid and persistent flaring of bracts; cell proliferation is induced in the abscission zone of debladed petioles. A possible mode of transmission of the agent from larva to bud tissue is discussed.

We describe computational modeling of flaring horns and piecewise conical bores using “Truncated Infinite Impulse Response” (TIIR) digital filtering techniques. The approach yields highly efficient and accurate computational models and is therefore appropriate for real-time simulations of woodwind and brass musical instruments.

Introduction. This paper deals with the international environmental norms on combatting flaring of Associated Petroleum Gas (APG) and its adoption by Russia (decrees no. 7 1148). Flaring, or systematic burning associated gas during oil production, leads to release carbon dioxide other harmful substances, endangering surrounding global environment. Methods. The authors use qualitative methods re...

The spatial distribution of mono-abundance populations (MAPs, selected in [Fe/H] and [Mg/Fe]) reflect the chemical structural evolution a galaxy impose strong constraints on formation models. In this paper, we use APOGEE data to derive intrinsic density MAPs Milky Way, after carefully considering survey selection function. We find that single exponential profile is not sufficient description Wa...

Gas flaring is a global problem affecting oil-producing countries. The Nigerian petroleum industry not an exemption. responsible for the emission of greenhouse gas, depletion ozone layer, warming, and climate change. study aims to offer legal panaceas menace gas flaring, which has affected Nigeria’s economy. Many scholars have raised concerns need discontinuance in Nigeria due its adverse effec...
