Immature embryos as a choice tissue for genetic transformation of maize have a few limitations, such as genotype dependence, time-consuming and requiring a well-equipped greenhouse for access, at any time. In the present study, the split-seed explants were used for genetic transformation of maize, B73 line. The transformation of maize split-seed explants from the inbred line B73, for resistance...

Leucosceptroids A and B are sesterterpenoids with potent antifeedant and antifungal activities. A more efficient gram-scale total synthesis of leucosceptroid B and the first total synthesis of leucosceptroid A are presented. The key transformations include an aldol reaction between a substituted dihydrofuranone and an (S)-citronellal-derived aldehyde, a SmI2-mediated intramolecular ketyl-olefin...

To test age-related differences in split and problem-difficulty effects, adults between the ages of 20 and 80 years (N = 138) performed a simple and a complex inequality verification task (e.g., 6 + 3 < 11, 271 + 182 < 458; true or false?). Split effects in verification tasks (i.e., better performance for large-split than for small-split problems) reflect strategy selection between nonexhaustiv...

Protein trans-splicing by split inteins has many uses in protein production and research. Splicing proteins with synthetic peptides, which employs atypical split inteins, is particularly useful for site-specific protein modifications and labeling, because the synthetic peptide can be made to contain a variety of unnatural amino acids and chemical modifications. For this purpose, atypical split ...

BACKGROUND The split-course schedule of chemo-radiation for anal cancer is controversial. METHODS Eighty-four patients with invasive anal cancer treated with definitive external beam radiotherapy (RT) with a mandatory split of 12 days (52 patients, Montreal, Canada) or without an intended split (32 patients, Zurich, Switzerland) were reviewed. Total RT doses were 52 Gy (Montreal) or 59.4 Gy (...

the edge tenacity te(g) of a graph g is dened as:te(g) = min {[|x|+τ(g-x)]/[ω(g-x)-1]|x ⊆ e(g) and ω(g-x) > 1} where the minimum is taken over every edge-cutset x that separates g into ω(g - x) components, and by τ(g - x) we denote the order of a largest component of g. the objective of this paper is to determine this quantity for split graphs. let g = (z; i; e) be a noncomplete connected spli...

Split cuts are among the most important and well-understood cuts for general mixed-integer programs. In this paper we consider some recent generalizations of split cuts and compare their relative strength. More precisely, we compare the elementary closures of split, cross, crooked cross and general multi-branch split cuts as well as cuts obtained from multi-row and basic relaxations. We present...

The genus 4 modular curve Xns(11) attached to a non-split Cartan group of level 11 admits a model defined over Q. We compute generators for its function field in terms of Siegel modular functions. We also show that its Jacobian is isomorphic over Q to the new part of the Jacobian of the classical modular curve X0(121).
