In this paper, remote sensing measurements like apparent electrical conductivity (ECa.) are used to assess soil compaction. In an experiment comparing five tillage treatments and their effect to energy crops soil penetration resistance (SPR) was measured at the same time as ECa. ECa measurements were carried out using EM-38with dipoles at 1m apart and SPR by an electronic penetrometer. The nega...

sweet sorghum that is adapted to the country hot and dry climatic condition, was selected as a raw material for biofuel and biogas production. bioethanol is produced from sweet sorghum stalks and grains and biogas is produced from its byproducts. the purpose of this study was to plant sweet sorghum irrigated with different qualities of water in order to produce biofuels. this experiment was con...

Dialect speakers in the North of England use vowel-less forms of the definite article (the) which are unattested in English varieties elsewhere and have been termed Definite Article Reduction (DAR). Previous research on DAR has provided detailed phonological descriptions, but less insight has been gained into other aspects of DAR like its emergence and the northern pattern of occurrence. I demo...

In a recent paper Dar and Shaviv (1994) presented results of calculations with an improved standard solar model (SSM) that suggest a standard physics solution to the solar neutrino problem. In a subsequent publication with a similar title Bahcall et al. (1994) have claimed to refute the results obtained by Dar and Shaviv. Here we show that the criticism and conclusions of Bahcall et al. are unj...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to examine provider perceptions concerning the provision and accessibility of diabetes education, according to levels of economic distress and rurality throughout the US Appalachian region. METHODS A questionnaire regarding diabetes education resources was developed and mailed to all Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), health departments, and know...

The highly polymorphic Rh system is encoded by 2 homologous genes RHD and RHCE. Gene rearrangements, deletions, or point mutations may cause partial D and CE antigens. In this study, a new RHD variant, DAR, and a new RHCE variant, ceAR, are described in 4 Dutch African Blacks. Serologically, DAR showed weaker reactions with a monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antiserum against D. The DAR pheno...
