low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the main problems in saline areas. seed priming technique has been known as a challenge to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environmental stress. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with gibberellin, nacl and water on seed germination and seed reserve utilization and germination...

Terribacillus aidingensis strain MP602, which was isolated from an ancient tree (Cryptomeria forunei) in Tianmu Mountain in China, has antagonistic activity against several certain phytopathogenic fungi. Here, we report the genome sequence of this strain. This is the first complete genome report of the Terribacillus genus.

Introduction: A majority of the mountains on Io are tectonic, upthrusted blocks [1-8]. The mechanism behind their formation, however, is unknown. Mountain formation may be indirectly related to the prolific volcanism on Io [3]. Three major mountain formation hypotheses following from this idea include: • convection-modified subsidence: global compressional stresses (subsidence) are created by t...

A host of information is now available regarding the geological and thermal structure as well as deformation rate across the Himalaya of central Nepal. These data are reconciled in a two-dimensional mechanical model that incorporates the rheological layering of the crust which depends on the local temperature and surface processes. Over geological timescale (5 Ma) the ""'20 mm/yr estimated shor...

In this paper, we describe an automatic people-counting system based on a wireless sensor network at a mountain area. Several people-counting systems have been proposed separately. However, these systems are not suitable to a place such as the mountain area because of a few problems. In this paper, we develop a system which can count the number of visiting people and sense environment informati...

Colombia’s physical and socio-political landscape—a territory fragmented by mountain ranges and tropical forests, deficient infrastructure, lack of national integration, and the tradition of armed revolts against the central authorities—has provided fertile ground for guerrillas. Guerrilla warfare shading into politicized banditry has been, in fact, the most prevalent form of armed activity in ...

In th is paper, w e in troduce our corpora under developm ent, w hich are recorded in a real environm ent. These corpora com prise dialogues collected in hospitals w ith the aim of developing a nursing serv ice support system through a com prehensive understanding of nursing activ ities. We use the corpora to analyze how nurses perform their nursing duties and how they express the perform ance ...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacterium incriminated in gastroduodenal ulcers, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma imposing a major burden on health care systems worldwide. Honeys have been shown to have in vitro activity against microorganisms and suitable for use in ulcers, infected wounds and burns. OBJECTIVE The study was aimed at evaluating the antimicrobia...
