s ELECTION of genetically superior individuals to be parents of the next generation is hampered by environmental factors that tend to mask the actual breeding values of the individuals being selected. The contribution of these environmental effects to the total phenotypic variation should be minimized before estimating the genetic parameters (Hazel and Terrill, 1945a). Factors known to predomin...

Hazel (Corylus avellana) is easily attacked by Curculio nucum L. To better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying different resistance of cultivars to C. nucum, we determined insect-resistant compounds, plant hormones contents, and enzyme activities in nutshells three hazel (DW, B21, MZ) before (preexisting defense) after (induced chewing. The findings demonstrated that differed sig...

H emorrhoids are a very common condition. Hospitalbased proctoscopy studies show prevalence rates of hemorrhoids in up to 86 percent of patients studied with many in an asymptomatic state. Botanicals used internally and topically can treat early stages of hemorrhoids effectively and can be used as adjuncts in more advanced stages when surgical treatments may be necessary. The roles of butcher’s...

Abstract With ever-increasing computational power, larger domains are employed and thus the data output grows as well. Writing this to disk can become a significant part of runtime if done serially. Even is in parallel, e.g., via MPI I/O, there many user-space parameters for tuning performance. This paper focuses on available Lustre file system Cray MPICH implementation I/O. Experiments XC40 Ha...
