In order to assessment the effect of micro and macro nutrients on agro physiological traits of oat crop a research was conducted via split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Agricultural Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, along 2013-2014. The main factor included different complex of macro and micro nut...

Anthocyanins are an important micro-component that contributes to the quality factors and health benefits of black rice. concentration compositions differ among rice seeds depending on varieties, growth conditions, maturity level at harvesting. Chemical composition-based inspection a real-time, non-destructive, accurate basis is essential establish industries optimize cost product. Therefore, t...

Seed length and seed width are an important factor to the soybean yield. So the quantitative trait loci (QTL) location for seed length and seed width could assistant the breeding of soybean. In this study, the QTL underlying seed length and seed width were studied. A recombinant inbred line population of soybeans derived from a cross between the American semi-draft cultivars Charleston and Dong...

We introduce a benchmark called TEXTURE (TEXT Under RElations) to measure the relative strengths and weaknesses of combining text processing with a relational workload in an RDBMS. While the well-known TREC benchmarks focus on quality, we focus on efficiency. TEXTURE is a micro-benchmark for query workloads, and considers two central text support issues that previous benchmarks did not: (1) que...

Kupffer cells are the resident liver macrophages of the liver; other tissues also have resident immune cells e.g., microglia in the brain. These cells have a distinct embryonic lineage when compared with circulating myeloid cells. In both the liver and brain micro-environments activation of their resident immune cells results in the synthesis of multiple growth factors and cytokines which stimu...

1. 6-Hydroxykynurenic acid (4,6-dihydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, 6-HKA) was isolated in crystalline form from both green and cured tobacco leaves. 2. A method for the determination of 6-HKA by paper chromatography and fluorimetry is described. 3. The content of 6-HKA in the flowers, stem and roots of the tobacco plant was much lower than that in the leaf. 4. The 6-HKA content increased thr...

Micro-organisms isolated from composts were assayed in vitro for inhibition of mycelial growth and conidium germination of Fusarium culmorum. Eleven bacterial isolates inhibited mycelial growth, and of these seven also inhibited germination of conidia. However, inhibition of mycelial growth was only reproducible for three bacteria. Five fungal isolates were found to have antagonistic effects on...

The origin and sustenance of large scale galactic magnetic fields has been a long standing and controversial astrophysical problem. Here an alternative to the “standard” α−Ω mean field dynamo and primordial theories is pursued. The steady supply of supernovae induced turbulence exponentiates the total field energy, providing a significant seed mean field that can be linearly stretched by shear....
