AIM To evaluate wound healing activity of cow urine ark in diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into six groups (n = 6). Three groups - diabetic control, active control (glibenclamide), and treatment (cow urine ark) were operated for excision wounds (EWs). Rats in these groups received distilled water 1 ml/day, glibencla...

Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) biotypes, resistant to different herbicides, have been reported. An experiment was conducted to compare the growth characteristics of various barnyardgrass biotypes, (i.e., propanil-resistant from Poinsett County, Ark., quinclorac-resistant from Louisiana., quinclorac/propanil-resistant barnyardgrass from Craighead County, Ark., and susceptible barnyardgra...

In quantum field theory, the path integral is interpreted perturbatively as a sum indexed by graphs. The coefficient (Feynman amplitude) associated to a graph Γ is a period associated to the motive given by the complement of a certain hypersurface XΓ in projective space. Based on considerable numerical evidence, Broadhurst and Kreimer suggested [4] that the Feynman amplitudes should be sums of ...

Plant response to drought and hyperosmosis is mediated by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), a sesquiterpene compound widely distributed in various embryophyte groups. Exogenous ABA as well as hyperosmosis activates the sucrose nonfermenting 1 (SNF1)-related protein kinase2 (SnRK2), which plays a central role in cellular responses against drought and dehydration, although the details of the ...

Previous studies have shown two homologous chromodomain modules in the HP1 and Polycomb proteins exhibit discriminatory binding to related methyllysine residues (embedded in ARKS motifs) of the histone H3 tail. Methylated ARK(S/T) motifs have recently been identified in other chromatin factors (e.g. linker histone H1.4 and lysine methyltransferase G9a). These are thought to function as peripher...

Non-tumorigenic Rhizobium (syn. Agrobacterium) vitis strain ARK-1 (ARK-1) has been shown to reduce crown gall in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) seedlings when co-inoculated with Japanese tumorigenic isolates of R. vitis. The objectives this study were test ARK-1's efficacy as a biological control agent against isolated from grapevines Virginia, and examine genetic diversity found USA Japan. was int...

We present a deep neural architecture that parses sentences into three semantic dependency graph formalisms. By using efficient, nearly arc-factored inference and a bidirectional-LSTM composed with a multi-layer perceptron, our base system is able to significantly improve the state of the art for semantic dependency parsing, without using hand-engineered features or syntax. We then explore two ...
