Remote sensing of vegetation condition using high resolution digital multispectral imagery (DMSI) is an option for land managers interested in quantifying the distribution and extent of dieback in native forest. Crown condition is assessed as reference to the physical structure and foliage (i.e. density, transparency, extent and in-crown distribution) of a tree crown. At 20 sites in the Yalgoru...

Study of interaction between catechol and tetraethylene glycol dichloride in the n-butanol media, resulting with benzo-15-crown-5 production. Production of nitroand amino-derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5. Determination of their thermogravimetric characteristics. keywords: benzo-15-crown-5, catechol, tetraethylene glycol dichloride, crown ether, gas liquid chromatography, chromate-mass spectrometry

Tree detection and tree crown delineation from Airborne LiDAR has been focusing mostly on utilizing the canopy height model (CHM). This paper presents a method for individual tree crown delineation based on densities of high points (DHP) from the high resolution Airborne LiDAR. The DHP method relies on the fact that the density of received laser pulses above a certain height is high at the cent...

Crown gall tumors develop after integration of the T-DNA of virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains into the plant genome. Expression of the T-DNA-encoded oncogenes triggers proliferation and differentiation of transformed plant cells. Crown gall development is known to be accompanied by global changes in transcription, metabolite levels, and physiological processes. High levels of abscisic ...

The various association constants, bnm and Knm, of NaCl and NaClO4 with [12]crown-4, [15]crown-5, [18]crown-6, benzo[15]crown-5, benzo[12]crown-4, dibenzo[18]crown-6 and dinaphtho[18]crown-6 have been estimated in a mixture of dioxane/water (80/20) using a sodium ion selective electrode (ISE). The constants have been estimated using 1=ðKnm1⁄2Lo n1m21Þ5 ð1 2 nP 0Þn ð1 2 mP 0Þm=P 0; where P 0, th...

Crown ethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), 18-crown-6 (18C6), nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (NB18C6) dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6), dissolved in dichloromethane, are able to form oxonium-ion complexes in contact with aqueous sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions. This ability allows the transfer of Cr(VI) oxanions from the acid media, through an ...

BACKGROUND Complete cast crowns are good alternatives and have best longevity for the restoration of damaged posterior teeth. Occasionally, a crown with clinically acceptable margins, preparation design, and occlusion becomes loose. Providers often debate whether such a crown can be successfully recemented with any degree of confidence that it will not be dislodged under normal masticatory func...

Stability constants in 90% (v/v) DMSO /water mixture were evaluated for the complexes of Ag(I), Co(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) with the macrocyclic compounds, namely, 15-crown-5, benzo-15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, dibenzo18-crown-6, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6, dibenzo-24-crown-8 and dicyclohexano-24-crown-8 by conductometric titrations. A potentiometric study of co...

We studied the distribution of hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), within hemlock trees for three summer (progrediens) and two winter (sistens) generations in northern Georgia. Eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carrière, trees were treated with 0, 10, or 25% of 1.5 g of imidacloprid per 2.5 cm of tree diameter at breast height and fertilized or not in a fa...
