Background & Aims of the Study: Chromium is widely detected in surface waters and underground waters, which usually appear as Cr(VI), and Cr(III), at sites associated with industrial activities. Cr(VI), in effluent streams with a high level of mobility and notorious mutagenic and carcinogenic toxicity; thus Cr(III) does not have much mobility in soil. So, converting it into less h...

The plant homologs of the archaeal DNA topoisomerase VI complex are required for the progression of endoreduplication cycles. Here, we describe the identification of MIDGET (MID) as a novel component of topoisomerase VI. We show that mid mutants show the same phenotype as rhl1, rhl2, and top6B mutants and that MID protein physically interacts with RHL1. The phenotypic analysis revealed new phen...

Let G = (V, E) be a non-directed graph, where E is the set of edges and V is the set of nodes. Let also V1, V2, . . . , Vp be a partition of V into q subsets such that V1 ∪ V2 ∪ . . . ∪ Vq = V and Vi ∩ Vj = ∅, ∀i, j = 1, . . . , q with i 6= j. We refer to V1, V2, . . . , Vp as the components of the partition. Then, the Partition Coloring Problem (PCP) consists in finding a subset V p ⊂ V such t...

The nycterohemeral pattern of eating and ruminating behavior was examined in six heifers given ad libitum access to a corn silage-based diet with or without 100 mg monensin.hd1.d1 in a two-period crossover design. Rhythm components (no. of cycles/24 h) were characterized by the finite Fourier transform of 24-h mastication activities series measured over 7 d. Analysis of variance of the daily me...

background; the aim of this study is to compare uv, ferrate (vi) and uv/ferrate (vi) methods for removal of hydrogen sulfide and chemical oxygen demand (cod) from municipal wastewater under a continuous condition. methods; the experiment was divided into three parts: 1) pollutants removal by using ferrate (vi) alone; 2) pollutants removal using uv alone; 3) pollutants removal using a combinatio...
