background and aims. during root canal preparation, debris extruded beyond the apical foramen may result in periapical inflammation and postoperative pain. to date no root canal preparation method has been developed that extrudes no periapical debris. the purpose of this study was to identify a system leading to minimal extrusion of debris from the apical foramen. the study was conducted to com...

Root system growth and development is highly plastic and is influenced by the surrounding environment. Roots frequently grow in heterogeneous environments that include interactions from neighboring plants and physical impediments in the rhizosphere. To investigate how planting density and physical objects affect root system growth, we grew rice in a transparent gel system in close proximity wit...

Let R be an indecomposable root system. It is well known that any root is part of a basis B of R. But when can you extend a set of two or more roots to a basis B of R? A -system is a linearly independent set of roots, C , such that if ̨ and ˇ are in C , then ̨ ˇ is not a root. We will use results of Dynkin and Bourbaki to show that with two exceptions, A3 Bn and A7 E8, an indecomposable -system...

Two different propagation procedures including aeroponics and soil systems were compared for the minitubers production in potato. The minitubers were evaluated for several quality characters. The plant materials were from three cultivars, Agria, Marfona and Savalan. The plantlets were grown in aeroponics and soil production systems at a plant density of 100 plants per m-2 and stem length, root ...

tillage systems influence soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics which in turn may alter, root characteristics, growth, and development. a three year study was conducted to investigate the effects of seven tillage systems on some soil (fine-loamy mixed, typic haplocambids) physical characteristics and wheat (triticum aestivum l.) root morphology. tillage treatments included ...
