bacillus thuringiensis strains were isolated from various soil samples collected from different regions of kahramanmaraş in turkey and were characterized by their colony morphology, pcr method with cryiab/ac, cryid, cry2 and cyt2 primers, and sds-page of crystal proteins with 130-140 and 60-70 kda molecular weights. plasmid profiles of selected isolates were also analyzed. among the cry genes s...

— That the computing models of living organisms utilize sophisticated methods of information processing, was recognized by von Neumann who proposed the stored program control (SPC) computing model and the self-replicating cellular automata. Later Chris Langton created computer programs that demonstrated self-organization and discovery of patterns using evolutionary rules which led to the field ...

Stored energy from plastic deformation in rolled aluminum has been quantified with both macroscopic and microscopic methods. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Microhardness tests were used to determine a value for stored energy based on energy released during recrystallization and resistance to plastic flow from the accumulated dislocation content, respectively. For a value of stored ...

Electronic cash systems, such as Mondex, seek to re-engineer cash payments. While the use of cash imposes numerous invisible costs on the economy, numerous security and consumer acceptance issues prevent its immediate replacement. After analyzing the economics of the proposed Mondex electronic cash system, including suggesting sources of gain for multiple channel members, we conclude that the m...

This paper is concerned with the design, architecture, and implementation of DB2 Everyplace Release 8.1. DB2 Everyplace is a small-sized SQL database software – the footprint is about 200 kB – available for PDAs and embedded systems. We discuss the database engine components in detail, and explain how they collaborate for query execution. Further, we deal with data encryption and allude remote ...

This paper surveys recerd Utility options can save computer and user time. For example, storing a portion of the circuit that is used several times can effect such savings. Another is an editing routine which allows the user to change a portion of the circuit without going tlu-ough the whole list of elements. Though mathematical formulas exist for many different circuit elements and thus, can b...
