Chinese privet, Ligustrum sinense Lour., is a perennial semi-evergreen shrub that is a serious invasive weed in the United States. Classical biological control offers the best hope for controlling it in an economic, effective, and persistent way. Host specificity of one of the most promising biological control agents of Chinese privet, a flea beetle, Argopistes tsekooni Chen (Coleoptera: Chryso...

background: the prangos ferulacea (pf)–yogurt is a traditional food in iran. this study investigated the effects of pf on the microbial, physicochemical and sensory properties of probiotic yoghurt. methods: pasteurized low fat milk was heated up to 85°c, cooled to 40°c, and then mixed with conventional and lactobacillus casei starter cultures incubated at 37°c until ph decreased to 4.6. then, t...

A comparative study of in vitro seed germination of two endangered orchid species, viz. Cymbidium elegans Lindl. and Dendrobium densiflorum Lindl. ex Wall., was carried out on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium, supplemented with different concentrations and combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and á-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The hormone-free MS medium and MS medium supplemented with va...

X-ray-absorption fine-structure ~XAFS! measurements have been carried out at the Pr L III and Os L III edges on the Pr-based heavy-fermion superconductor PrOs4Sb12 . The x-ray absorption near-edge structure results suggest that the Pr valence is very close to 31 with at most a small amount of Pr @vPr;3.019(3)# , while Os is close to metallic in this material. The extended XAFS results show that...
