We investigated which parameters required by the MAESTRA model were most important in predicting leaf-area-based transpiration in 5-year-old trees of five deciduous hardwood species-yoshino cherry (Prunus x yedoensis Matsum.), red maple (Acer rubrum L. 'Autumn Flame'), trident maple (Acer buergeranum Miq.), Japanese flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata Lindl. 'Kwanzan') and London plane-tree (Pla...

BACKGROUND In East Africa, Phlebotomus orientalis serves as the main vector of Leishmania donovani, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Phlebotomus orientalis is present at two distant localities in Ethiopia; Addis Zemen where VL is endemic and Melka Werer where transmission of VL does not occur. To find out whether the difference in epidemiology of VL is due to distant composit...

‎In this work‎, ‎first the differential equation characterizing position vector‎ ‎of spacelike curve is obtained in Lorentzian plane $mathbb{L}^{2}.$ Then the‎ ‎special curves mentioned above are studied in Lorentzian plane $mathbb{L}%‎‎^{2}.$ Finally some characterizations of these special curves are given in‎ ‎$mathbb{L}^{2}.$‎

The volatile oil content and composition of the aerial parts of Ajuga orientalis L. (Lamiaceae) grown in northern parts of Iran have been analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty compounds were identified, representing 97.9% of the total oil. The main compounds were germacrene-D (24.2%), beta-cubebene (18.3%), beta-caryophyllene (16.9%) and alpha-cubebene (5.3%).

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kentsel alanlarda kullanımlar sonucu ortaya çıkan farklı zemin kaplamalarının yaz döneminde sahip olduğu yüzey sıcaklığı artışının önlenmesinde ağaçların etkisini koymaktır.Yöntem ve Bulgular: Çalışmada 16 Haziran 2020 tarihinde 09:00, 13:00 17:00 saatlerinde 10 yüzeyde (toprak, asfalt, parke (güneş-bitki altı) çim altı)) infrared termometre kullanılarak ölçümü yapılm...

This study, related to emergence of the cetoniid beetle, Chiloloba orientalis D and R (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), was conducted annually from August to the middle of October from 2007 to 2010 in maize (Zea mays L. (Poales: Poaceae)), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), and grass (Hetropogon contortus (L.) P. Beauv. ex Roem. and Schult., Apluda mutica L.) cultivated fields in a se...

Amycolatopsis orientalis is the producer of vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic that is used for the treatment of serious infections with Gram-positive bacteria. Here we present the next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based 9.06-Mb draft genome sequence of the type strain Amycolatopsis orientalis subsp. orientalis KCTC 9412 (DSM 40040; ATCC 19795).

Ghee is widely produced from a traditional fermented butter-like product named mashita in western Uganda. However, no detailed studies have been done to identify the microorganisms involved in mashita fermentation. The aim of this study was to identify the microorganisms present at the end of mashita ripening using culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques. The most commonly identifi...

BACKGROUND The presence of profilin-specific IgE antibodies is a cause of cross-reactivity between botanically-unrelated allergen sources. Recently, the association between Platanus acerifolia pollinosis and plant-derived food allergy has been described. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the P. acerifolia profilin is involved in such cross-reactivity. METHODS Twenty-three patient...
