Pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (Leguminosae), was found hosting Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Paraná State, Brazil. In the laboratory, nymphs performed better on immature pods of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill (Leguminosae), than on immature pods of pigeonpea. Although nymphs required similar time to complete development, and attained similar weights at ...

Disaggregation of the spherical nuclear bodies termed promyelocytic (PML) oncogenic domains (PODs) is a characteristic of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Here, we demonstrate that the cAMP enhancer binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) associates with PML in vitro and is recruited to the PODs in vivo. Through its association with CBP, wild-type PML dramatically stimulates nuclear receptor ...

New semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities use Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) as a common unit of wafer transfer. Since the number of pods is limited due to high costs, and the increase in wafer size to 300-mm reduces the number of wafers required for a customer order, combining multiple orders into a single job is a necessity for efficient production. We investigate the multiple orders...

Escherichia coli entry into the bladder is met with potent innate defenses, including neutrophil influx and epithelial exfoliation. Bacterial subversion of innate responses involves invasion into bladder superficial cells. We discovered that the intracellular bacteria matured into biofilms, creating pod-like bulges on the bladder surface. Pods contained bacteria encased in a polysaccharide-rich...

of the 1999 SIGMOD paper: Computing multidimensional aggregates in high dimensions is a performance bottleneck for many OLAP applications. Obtaining the exact answer to an aggregation query can be prohibitively expensive in terms of time and/or storage space in a data warehouse environment. It is advantageous to have fast, approximate answers to OLAP aggregation queries. In this paper, we prese...

Three-dimensional microparticle movements induced by laser beams with a funnel- and tubular pod-like structure, in the neighbourhood of the focal plane of an optical trapping setup, are experimentally studied. The funnel and pod beams constructed as coherent superpositions of helical Laguerre-Gaussian modes are synthesized by a computer generated hologram using a phase-only spatial light modula...

The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters for some traits such as pods per plant, cell membrane stability, one thousand kernel weight, flowering period, grain filling period, chlorophyll content, relative water content, leaf excised water content, seed per pod and pod length, in 16 winter rapeseed genotypes. Statistical analysis showed significant differences ...

Four stages of soybean pod development of four varieties of Glycine max were surveyed for esterase enzymes by starch-gel electrophoresis. Differences in esterase banding patterns occur among the four varieties investigated. Enzyme changes accompanying pod development were observed. Pod collection procedure affected the number of esterase bands visible, with collection in dry ice giving more vis...
