The agronomic characteristics of Ramie and Spanish Broom were investigated for seven years in the pedoclimatic conditions of Central Italy. The chemical, physical and mechanical properties of these fibres were also examined in order to evaluate the feasibility to use them in composite materials. Results demonstrate that Ramie grown in the temperate environment can be harvested three times a yea...

In the present study 14 bacterial strains were isolated from root nodule of Crotolaria junceae L. from 4 different sites of Assam. The isolates were investigated for their morphological characteristics. Three different confirmatory tests were performed with the isolates. The isolates were also investigated for their biochemical characteristics and compared with biochemical characteristics of re...

The quantum density of states of the Henon-Heiles potential displays a pronounced beating pattern. This has been explained by the interference of three isolated classical periodic orbits with nearby actions and periods. A singular magnetic flux line, passing through the origin, drastically alters the beats even though the classical Lagrangian equations of motion remain unchanged. Some of the ch...

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for type D Temperley-Lieb algebra TLDn(δ) being semi-simple by studying branching rule cell modules. As byproduct, our result is used to study the so-called forked algebra, which quotient of TLDn(δ).

Although it is increasingly difficult to gauge what people can be expected to know, it is probably safe to assume that most readers are familiar with Ockham's razor – roughly, the principle whereby gratuitous suppositions are shaved from the interpretation of facts – enunciated by a Franciscan monk, William of Ockham, in the fourteenth century. Ockham's broom is a somewhat more recent conceit, ...

Previous studies demonstrate that in developing Drosophila bristles, two cross-linking proteins are required sequentially to bundle the actin filaments that support elongating bristle cells. The forked protein initiates the process and facilitates subsequent cross-linking by fascin. Using cross-linker-specific antibodies, mutants, and drugs we show that fascin and actin are present in excessive...

The fracture problem of multiple branched crack arrays in anisotropic bimaterials is formulated by use the Stroh formalism to linear elasticity theory dislocations. general full-field solutions are obtained from standard technique continuously distributed dislocations along finite-sized cracks arbitrary shapes, which embedded dissimilar half-spaces under far-field stress loading conditions. bim...

We have used three cloned DNA sequences consisting of (1) part of the suppressor of forked transcription unit, (2) a cloned 359-bp satellite, and (3), a type I ribosomal insertion, to examine the structure of the base of the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster where different chromatin types are found in juxtaposition. A DNA probe from the suppressor of forked locus hybridizes exclusively t...
