Because of the poor permeability conditions nature of the world's seas is as yet not very much investigated for this reason underwater picture improvement procedures are utilized, on the grounds that the earth is a sea-going planet and as the reality around 70%of its surface is secured by water. Presently days there is a solid enthusiasm for recognizing what lies in submerged, and besides, this...

During recent years many new and extended uses have been developed for fungal enzymes. Prominent among these are applications in the fields of food manufacturing, textile processing, and in the manufacture of malt beverages and industrial alcohol. Although certain microorganisms are capable of elaborating amylases when grown under submerged conditions either aerobically (Waldmann, 1942) or anae...

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria (Cordyceps) bassiana holds much promise as a pest biological control agent. B. bassiana produces at least three in vitro single cell infectious propagules, including aerial conidia, vegetative cells termed blastospores and submerged conidia, that display different morphological, biochemical and virulence properties. Populations of aerial conidia, blastospor...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Rice is one of the few crops able to withstand periods of partial or even complete submergence. One of the adaptive traits of rice is the constitutive presence and further development of aerenchyma which enables oxygen to be transported to submerged organs. The development of lysigenous aerenchyma is promoted by ethylene accumulating within the submerged plant tissues, altho...

Submerged shell midden sites and natural shell deposits can have similar characteristics and can be difficult to distinguish archaeologically. We excavated two test units from a large (at least 35 m×70 m) submerged shell mound in Fort Neck Cove in southern Rhode Island to assess whether it was natural or cultural in origin. This mound had been recognized as a potential archaeological feature as...

Acrylonitrile is used as the main raw material for manufacturing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin. It is usually found as pollutant in the petrochemical wastewater. In this research an aerated submerged fixed-film reactor was developed to treat a synthetic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene unit wastewater containing acrylonitrile. Laboratory experiments were conducted using a bioreactor with...

e role of the microbial processes governing methane emissions from tundra ecosystem is receiving increasing attention. Recently, cooperation between methanotrophic bacteria and submerged Sphagnum was shown to reduce methane emissions but also to supply CO2 for photosynthesis for the plant. Although this process was shown to be important in the laboratory, the differences that exist in methane ...

In partially flooded deep water rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Habiganj Aman II), continuous air layers trapped between the hydrophobic, corrugated surface of the leaf blades and the surrounding water constitute the major path of aeration. The conduction of gases through the internal air spaces of the leaf is negligible compared to the conduction of gases through the external air layers. The total vo...

Magnetoreception has been demonstrated in all five vertebrate classes. In rodents, nest building experiments have shown the use of magnetic cues by two families of molerats, Siberian hamsters and C57BL/6 mice. However, assays widely used to study rodent spatial cognition (e.g. water maze, radial arm maze) have failed to provide evidence for the use of magnetic cues. Here we show that C57BL/6 mi...

PURPOSE This study was undertaken to assess the predictive usefulness of preoperative bone density, as measured by computed tomography (CT), and the intraoperative implant stability measures of insertion torque (IT), Periotest values (PTV), and resonance frequency analysis (ie, implant stability quotient [ISQ]) toward developing an algorithm for successful immediate loading, one-step exposure, ...
