Strains of Ascochyta rabiei which are pathogenic to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) readily catabolized the main chickpea isoflavone biochanin A (5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone). 3'-Hydroxylation and O-demethylation reactions led to the isoflavones pratensein, genistein, and orobol, which were rapidly further degraded. Dihydrogenistein and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid were also identified as ca...

We give an update on the worldwide spoligotype database, which now contains 3,319 spoligotype patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 47 countries, with 259 shared types, i.e., identical spoligotypes shared by two or more patient isolates. The 259 shared types contained a total of 2,779 (84%) of all the isolates. Seven major genetic groups represented 37% of all clustered isolates. Two types ...

Main Objective: To analyze the most common types of violence in national and international university environments, through an integrative review, discussing teaching strategies to face it. Specific Objectives: present constituent phases review relevant aspects be considered for use this important methodological resource, identifying experienced environment

ferulago angulata (apiaceae), a medicinal plant of western asia, contains essential oils that areused as a food preservative. this study examined and compared the composition of leaf oil with seed oil andof the oils from two different habitats (one from nevakov and the other from shahoo). the oil yield from seedwas 5-fold that from leaves (3.2%/100g compared to 0.63%/100g). cis-ocimene was the ...

Thèse présentée pour l'obtention du grade légal de Docteur en Sciences Directeur de thèse : D r Claude Semay Membres du jury : Remerciements Bientôt 4 ans depuis mon arrivéè a l'université de Mons-Hainaut, la thèse se termine et une page se tourne. L'entrée dans l'univers de la recherche n'est pas une tâche aisée et cette aventure, loin d'ˆ etre terminée (je l'espère !), n'aurait pas commencé s...

Hybrid meson energies are calculated in the static quark limit with the Dynamical Quark Model (DQM). In the DQM, transverse gluons are represented as effective constituents with a dynamically generated mass. Hybrid masses are determined within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation for the resulting relativistic Salpeter equation. Although the general features of the adiabatic potential surfaces corres...

The mechanical properties of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and their composites have been under intense investigation for many years, owing to their unique combination of high strength and elastic limit. However, because of their highly localized deformation mechanism, BMGs are typically considered to be brittle materials and are not suitable for structural applications. Recently, highly-toughen...

Metallic glasses (MGs) inherit their amorphous structure from the liquid state, which predetermines their ability to withstand high loads approaching the theoretical limit. However, the absence of slip systems makes them very sensitive to the type of loading and extremely brittle in tension. The latter can be improved by precipitation of ductile crystals, which suppress a catastrophic propagati...

We have proposed an incremental translation method in Transfer-Driven Machine Translation (TDMT). In this method, constituent boundary patterns are applied to an input in a bottom-up fashion. Also, by dealing with best-only substructures, the explosion of structural ambiguity is constrained and an efficient translation of a lengthy input can be achieved. Through preliminary experimentation our ...
