transaction per second. contrasts the Several companies intend to provide general-purpose processing systems capable of one thousand transactions This paper surveys the need for such systems and approaches being taken by three different groups. This paper appears in the proceedings of IEEE COMPCON-85, held in San Francisco in February 1985.

study, taking truly independent ratings to see which verbs participants considered to be denominal or deverbal (i.e. exocentric or not). The results of this new experiment were clear. The semantic similarity (or otherwise) of verbs-incontext to ordinary irregular usage predicted the acceptability of past-tense forms. Whether or not verbs were perceived to be exocentric was irrelevant to this. I...

Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tuber tissue cultured in the presence of the auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid accumulates ribosomal RNA at a rate of 0.135 micrograms per hour per explant whereas there is little accumulation in nontreated tissue. The addition of auxin enhanced the transcription of the 2.5 x 10(6) precursor 3.5-fold and increased the rate of processing 1.8-fold. The major...

Objective: An experiment was performed in Ardabil (2012) to investigate the effects of manure consumption in different amounts on reducing nitrogen fertilizer consumption in potato cv. Agria. Methods: This research was conducted in factorial design based on randomized completely blocks design in three replication  in which two manure factors in three levels (control, 30 and 60 tons/h) and nitro...

Methods: A total of 162 ninety-day-old pigs showing early clinical signs of PRDC were weighed (Day 0) and allocated into two treatment groups, Controls (n = 82) and Meloxicam (n = 80), in a randomized block design (approximately 20 pigs per pen, four pens per treatment per replicate). In-feed chlortetracycline (800 g per tonne; 20 mg per kg body weight per day) was administered to both groups f...

A field experiment was conducted in 2009 and 2010 at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the yield and yield components of newly introduced sweet potato varieties under various planting patterns with pigeonpea. Neither fertilizer nor insecticide was applied. This was done in accordance w...

Apyrases hydrolyze nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates and are found in all eukaryotes and a few prokaryotes. Although their enzymatic properties have been well characterized, relatively little is known regarding their subcellular localization and physiological function in plants. In this study, we used reverse genetic and biochemical approaches to investigate the role of potato (Solanum ...

From the point of view of purification the critical isotopes are 2 y year ^Th in the thorium chain (see Fig. 1) and 1600...

The Mount Milligan deposit, centred at latitude SS”O8’ north and longitude 124”04’ west, is 100 kilometres westsouthwest of Mackenzie and 160 kilometres northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia. The deposit occurs in gently rolling topography (Plate 2-6-l) 5 kilometres due south of Mount Milligan. Access to the property is by a 93.kilometre logging road that connects with the Hart...
