The results of the Fornax Compact Object Survey (FCOS) are presented, complementing the first part of the FCOS described in Mieske et al. (2002). The FCOS aims at investigating the nature of the Ultra Compact Dwarf galaxies (UCDs) recently discovered in the center of the Fornax cluster (Drinkwater et al. 2000a). 280 unresolved objects with colours 0 < (V −I) < 1.5 mag in the magnitude space cov...

Abstract Wild oat is a herbicide resistance-prone global weed species that causes significant economic losses in dryland and horticultural agriculture. As result, there has been research effort to control this species. A major impediment the seed coat-mediated dormancy of wild oat, which requires labor-intensive incision or puncturing coat initiate germination. This study defines most efficient...
