We present a tile system for assembling a counter of width K and height N = 2 on top of a seed-row in optimum time Θ(N). Our counter works at temperature 2. Earlier known constructions either took sub-optimal time or required temperature 3. Using existing techniques, our system for assembling a counter from a seed row can be extended into a system for assembling an N × N square in optimum time ...

The seed industry is the most research-intensive agribusiness in India and over the last 15 years has had the fastest growth in research expenditure of any major agribusiness. In another paper (Pray & Nagarajan, 2012), we suggested that biotechnology could have been an important cause of research and development (R&D) intensity and growth in the seed industry. Promoters of biotechnology argue t...

this study has been done to survey of solvent system effect on extraction of grape seed extract and its antimicrobial properties. for this purpose, grape seed extracts were extracted with six different solvent systems. minimum bactericidal concentration (mbc) of extract on six spoilage and food-born pathogens was determined. the results indicated that mbc of different extracts have no significa...

Mitochondria are the source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells and play a central role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycles; however, ROS production and regulation for seed germination, seedling growth, as well as mitochondrial responses to abiotic stress, are not clear. This study was conducted to obtain basic information on...

Tunability is one of the key aspects of any laser system. In High-Gain Harmonic Generation Free Electron Laser (HGHG FEL) the seed laser determines the output wavelength. Conventional scheme of tunable HGHG FEL requires tunable seed laser. The alternative scheme [1] is based on compression of the electron bunch with energytime correlation (chirped bunch) in the FEL dispersive section. The chirp...

To accomplish the rapid start-up and stable operation of biogas digesters, an efficient inoculum is required. To obtain such an inoculum for food waste anaerobic digestion, we domesticated dairy manure anaerobic digestion residue by adding food waste every day. After 36 days, the pH and biogas yield stabilized signifying the completion of domestication. During domestication, the microbial commu...
