When lettuce seeds are imbibed and subjected to high temperature for periods of 72 h or more, dormancy known as thermodormaney is induced. Priming of three cultivars of lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) seeds in 1% (w/v) K3P O4 for 20 h in the dark reduced thermodormaney. Addition of 100 mg 6-benzyladenine (BA)/liter to the priming solution increased germination in petri dishes at 35C in ‘Green Lake...

METHODS Spectral and Anaerobic Measurements. All absorbance spectra and anaerobic titrations employed the thermostatted Milton Roy Spectronic 3000 diode array spectrophotometer. The oxidoreductase and DTNB assays were performed on a thermostatted Applied Photophysics DX.17MV stopped-flow spectrofluorometer. The molar extinction coefficients of the proteinbound FAD at 448 or 449 nm were determin...

in order to study the effects of salicylic acid and selenium application on yield and yield components of rainfed wheat cultivars, a field experimental was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in the research station of islamic azad university- arak branch, iran in 2010-2011 growing season. the treatments were salicylic acid and selenium. sal...

The present paper describes a simple, sensitive technique for measurement of respiratory mucous glycoproteins that involves their precipitation with the cationic dye Alcian Blue. The assay was adapted from that described by Whiteman (1973) for measurement of urinary glycosaminoglycans. This method is useful for measurement of mucins secreted in response to stimulating agents in isolated airway ...

In this paper, we focus on image deconvolution and image reconstruction problems where a sought image is recovered from degraded observed data. The solution is defined to be the minimizer of an objective function combining a data-fidelity term and a edge-preserving, convex regularization term. Our objective is to speed up the calculation of the solution in a wide range of situations. To this en...

to study the effect of nitrogen form and ph of nutrient solution on the uptake and concentration of fe, zn, cu and mn in roots and shoots of spinach plant, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors including nutrient solution ph in three levels (4.5, 6.5 and 8.0) and nitrate to ammonium ratio of nutrient solution in five levels (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100). the experiment ...

When a nitrobenzene (NB) phase came in quiescent contact with a water phase, water-droplets were formed spontaneously near the oil|water interfaces (Electrochem. Commn. 11 (2009) 239). We reported here quantitative data of the NB-droplets by use of UV-absorbance, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and voltammetry with a help of ferrocene. The supernatant separated spontaneously from the oil-water m...

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is present in low concentrations in the serum of adults but in greater concentration in patients with different types of carcinoma. We describe a rapid, simple enzyme immunoassay in which a one-step “sandwich” system is used, without treatment of serum. The method has the following characteristics. The anti-CEA and anti-CEA conjugated with peroxidase (the “conjuga...

In this paper, a new implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws, which preserving the property of TVD (total variation diminishing) of the solution, is proposed. This scheme is derived by using nonlocal approximation for nonlinear terms of partial differential equation. Schemes preserving the essential physical property of TVD are of great importance in practice. Such s...
