The presence of excess water in centralized sewerage systems is known to have a multitude unfavorable effects on the daily operation wastewater infrastructure. additional volume I/I-water decreases hydraulic capacity collection networks, reduces efficiency treatment processes, and increases costs transporting treating wastewater. Currently, most I/I studies Latvia are conducted scale plant serv...

a study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (lilium longifolium l. cv. mero star). in production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

Objective(s) The objective of this study was to document and explain bilateral differences in the Q angle. Materials and Methods Two hundred limbs of healthy adult Indian volunteers were studied. The Q angle was measured using a goniometric method with the subjects supine, quadriceps relaxed and lower limbs in neutral rotation. The relative lateral placement of the tibial tuberosity with res...

Th e infl uence of partial defoliation performed at diff erent grapevine growth stages on yield components, vegetative growth and fruit composition of ‘Istrian Malvasia’ (‘Malvazija istarska’) vines was investigated. During two consecutive seasons partial defoliation was performed manually at three grapevine growth stages; before bloom (BB), aft er bloom (AB), and at the beginning of bunch clos...

The highly elongated bristles of Drosophila have proven to be a valuable model system for studying cellular morphogenesis. Extending bristles contain a series of large bundles of actin filaments juxtaposed to the plasma membrane and centrally located microtubules. Models to explain the extension of the bristle have principally focused on the assembly of actin filaments at the distal tip of the ...

X-ray CT is a powerful technology to study root growth in soil in-situ. Root systems can be studied in its true 3D geometry over time. Hence, the same plant can be scanned multiple times during development. A downside is the potential of X-rays to interfere with biological processes and therefore plant growth. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of cumulative X-ray dose on Vicia ...
