1. Competition effects on growth of individual trees were examined for 4 years in aggrading, mixed-clone stands of trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx.) at the Aspen-FACE free-air CO 2 and O 3 enrichment facility in northern Wisconsin, USA. During each growing season stands received one of four combinations of atmospheric [CO 2 ] (ambient vs ∼ 56 Pa) and [O 3 ] (ambient vs ∼ 1·5 × ambie...

Cloning occurs in software when there is redundancy in it in form of any similarity. So, the clones need to be removed or it can be avoided from the software in order to mitigate the negative impacts of clones. In this paper we have studied the various factors that affect the decision of avoidance or removal of clones for handling them.

to assess the microbiological status of a biofiltration system used to treat borehole water, filtermatrix samples were analyzed after staining for the presence of active biofilms using confocal laser scanningmicroscopy (clsm). clsm revealed the presence of biofilms on the filter matrix with actively metabolizingmicrobial cells present. thereafter, heterotrophs,manganese oxidizing bacteria (mob)...

A finite unary algebra of finite type with a constant function 0 that is a one element subalgebra, and whose operations have range {0, 1} is called a {0, 1}-valued unary algebra with 0. Such an algebra has a finite basis for its quasi-equations if and only if the relation defined by the rows of the non-trivial functions in the clone form an order ideal.

Clone CL B5 of Trypanosoma cruzi is a beta-galactosidase expressing organism that was genetically transfected to be used for in vitro pharmacological screening. Biological parameters were determined, evaluating growth kinetics of epimastigotes, metacyclogenesis, infectivity to mammalian cell lines, parasitemia kinetics in mice and sensibility to nifurtimox and benznidazole. Differences in relat...

The well-known connection between hyperidentities of an algebra and identities satisfied by the clone of this algebra is studied here in a restricted setting, that of n-ary strongly full hyperidentities and identities of the n-ary clone of term operations of an algebra induced by strongly full terms, both of a type consisting only of n-ary operation symbols. We call such a type an n-ary type. U...
