Winter wheat is the most valuable agricultural crop, which occupies one of first places in balance grain crops Central region Non-Chernozem zone Russia. Year after year, there an increasing need to expand production products, can be provided by varieties that give high and stable yields over years. Creation environmentally plastic a promising popular direction breeding work recent The evaluatio...

We propose a new method to measure the mass of large-scale filaments in galaxy redshift surveys. The method is based on the fact that the mass per unit length of isothermal filaments depends only on their transverse velocity dispersion. Filaments that lie perpendicular to the line of sight may therefore have their mass per unit length measured from their thickness in redshift space. We present ...

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) can convert chemical energy into electrical energy, with high conversion rate, safe operation, no pollutant emissions, and is one of the most potential new power generation devices in future. However, at low medium temperature (below 800℃), cathode impedance SOFCs will increase sharply, resulting adverse effects on cell performance. Finding materials that work key...

In this research, the high-energy planetary mill was employed to produce nanocrystalline Ti-50Al(γ)(at%) powders. Initial powders were mechanically alloyed in 99.9999% and 90% purities of Argon and also Air atmosphere with alloying times up to 50h. The effect of impurity of Argon atmosphere on the microstructure and the rate of phase transformation of Ti-50Al were investigated during mechanical...

In this study the term 'rates of synthesis' does not refer to rates of transcription but to rates of accumulation of newly synthesized RNA. The rates of synthesis and half-lives of tRNA, 18S and 28S rRNA of 14-day and 17-day embryonic chick muscle were determined by following the accumulation of radioactive AMP in RNA after administration of [3H]8-adenosine to chick embryos and correcting for t...

If gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are cosmological they need not necessarily be spatially coincident with a host galaxy—in many cosmological models the progenitors are ejected to large distances from their parent galaxies. While the optical transient of GRB 970228 may be close to a faint galaxy, there are several other galaxies in the field which could be the host if the progenitors are ejected to ∼ 5...

Transversus abdominis plane block has become an important method of postoperative pain management for patients undergoing abdominal surgery but the modest duration is a major limitation. We report the successful use of a novel TAP catheter technique for continuous infusion of levobupivacaine in six gynecologic and obstetric patients. Bilateral TAP catheters were inserted at the end of surgery b...

The quality of an insect as a host to an entomopathogenic nematode infective juvenile depends in part on whether or not the insect is already infected and on the stage of that infection. Previous research has shown that nematode response to hosts can change after infection and that, for uninfected hosts, CO(2) can be an important cue used by infective stage juveniles during attraction. We hypot...

The peak-background split argument is commonly used to relate the abundance of dark matter halos to their spatial clustering. Testing this argument requires an accurate determination of the halo mass function. We present a Maximum Likelihood method for fitting parametric functional forms to halo abundances which differs from previous work because it does not require binned counts. Our conclusio...

Zehavi et al. (1998) have suggested that the Hubble flow within 70h−1 Mpc may be accelerated by the existence of a void centered on the Local Group. Its underdensity would be ∼ 20%, which would result in a local Hubble distortion of about 6.5%. We have combined the peculiar velocity data of two samples of clusters of galaxies, SCI and SCII, to investigate the amplitude of Hubble distortions to ...
