The role of soil microbiota in plant stress management, though speculated a lot, is still far from being completely understood. We conducted a greenhouse experiment to examine synergistic impact of plant growth promoting rhizobacterium, Bacillus subtilis (BERA 71), and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Claroideoglomus etunicatum; Rhizophagus intraradices; and Funneliformis mosseae) to induce ...

We study the validity of the Jarque-Bera test for a class of univariate parametric stochastic differential equations (SDE) dXt = b(Xt, α)dt+ dZt observed at discrete time points t n i = ihn, i = 1, 2, . . . , n, where Z is a nondegenerate Lévy process with finite moments, and nhn → ∞ and nhn → 0 as n → ∞. Under appropriate conditions it is shown that Jarque-Bera type statistics based on the Eul...

The aim of this work is the development of an intelligent system for the detection of plant viruses, using biosensors and Artificial Neural Networks. The system is based on the Bioelectric Recognition Assay (BERA) method for the detection of viruses, developed by our team. BERA sensors detect the electric response of culture cells suspended in a gel matrix, as a result to their interaction with...

We propose a random effects panel data model with both spatially correlated error components and spatially lagged dependent variables. We focus on diagnostic testing procedures and derive Lagrange multiplier (LM) test statistics for a variety of hypotheses within this model. We first construct the joint LM test for both the individual random effects and the two spatial effects (spatial error co...

Stalking attack, defensive reactions, flight, cooperative interactions be­ tween members of a species in a fight, display of the "killer" instinct, and predation are but some of the overt agonistic behaviors recognized among various animal species, including man. Ethologists frequently distinguish be­ tween interspecific hunting behavior, predation, which generally is used by animals to satisfy...
