An isolate of the fungus Typhula phacorrhiza (Reich:Fr.) Fr. was evaluated in field tests across Canada for suppression of winter injury which was rated based on combined abiotic and biotic symptoms after snowmelt. This isolate, TP94671, has been identified in previous tests as being suppressive to gray snow mold, and a specific purpose of these trials was to evaluate the effect on pink snow mo...

Background : The historical evidence of the use of “general spinal anesthesia” introduced by Thomas Jonnesco in 1909 for the surgeries of the skull, head, neck and thorax puncturing the subarachnoid space (SAS) between 1 and 2 thoracic vertebra producing perfect and deep analgesia for the above mentioned area influenced to puncture SAS at 10 thoracic vertebra (T10) in place of puncturing SAS be...

The effect of cutting parameters and tool parameters on cutting forces and tool wear were investigated in high density fiberboard (HDF) peripheral up-milling using toughened ceramic cutting tools. The results showed that whether at low speed cutting or high speed cutting, the tangential forces Ft and normal forces Fr increased slowly with the increase of cutting length. The tangential forces Ft...

This study is an investigation of the machinability of experimental Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10mass% Cu) as new dental titanium alloy candidates for CAD/CAM use. The alloys were slotted with a vertical milling machine and carbide square end mills under two cutting conditions. Their machinability was evaluated through cutting force using a three-component force transducer fixed on the table of th...

We analyze the properties of an interior point cutting plane algorithm that is based on a semi-infinite linear formulation of the dual semidefinite program. The cutting plane algorithm approximately solves a linear relaxation of the dual semidefinite program in every iteration and relies on a separation oracle that returns linear cutting planes. We show that the complexity of a variant of the i...

In this paper, two-dimensional cutting stock problem with demand has been studied.In this problem, cutting of large rectangular sheets into specific small pieces should be carried out hence, the waste will be minimized. Solving this problem is important to decrease waste materials in any industry that requires cutting of sheets. In most previus studies, the demand of pieces has not been usually...

A high moisture level in the top 10 cm of soil at time of cutting of alfalfa increased the incidence of plant mortality and Fusarium wilt in soil infested with Ditylenchus dipsaci and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. medicaginis in greenhouse and field microplot studies. Ranger alfalfa, susceptible to both D. dipsaci and F. oxysporum f. sp. medicaginis, was less persistent than Moapa 69 (nematode susc...

CONCLUSIONS. This study demonstrates that the timing of birth in relation to the winter virus season confers a differential and definable risk of developing early asthma, establishing winter virus seasonality as a causal factor in asthma development. The authors have demonstrated that increasing rates of infant bronchiolitis in the past 10 years parallel the 5-year–offset increases in asthma at...

A year-round grazing system for springand fall-calving cows was developed to compare animal production and performance, hay production and feeding, winter forage composition changes, and summer pasture yield and nutrient composition to that from a conventional, or minimal land system. Systems compared forage from smooth bromegrass-orchardgrass-birdsfoot trefoil pastures for both systems in the ...
