This article presents an analysis of plant species richness and diversity, concerning some climatic variables along a 1500-m elevation gradient on the Binalood Mountain in Heydari Wildlife Refuge (HWR), northeastern Iran.  Two hundred and thirteen nested-sampling quadrats were established and the abundance of the plants was recorded. Vegetation sampling was carried out from 2014 till 2016, foll...

A bstract We initiate a systematic analysis of the nonrelativistic membrane solutions M theory using notion 11d Newton-Cartan (MNC) geometry as well considering 1 /c 2 expansion for embedding fields M2 brane world-volume theory. discuss associated boost and dilatation symmetries at leading order in expansion. show that, static gauge, when directions are stretched along longitudinal axes target ...

Exact expressions for the distribution function of a random variable of the form ((α1χ 2 m1 + α2χ 2 m2 )/|m|)/(χ ν /ν) are given where the chi-square distributions are independent with degrees of freedom m1,m2, and ν respectively. Applications to detecting joint outliers and Hotelling’s misspecified T 2 distribution are given.

The equilibrium geometries, thermochemistry, and vibrational frequencies of the homoleptic binuclear rhenium carbonyls Re2(CO)n (n = 10, 9, 8, 7) were determined using the MPW1PW91 and BP86 methods from density functional theory (DFT) with the effective core potential basis sets LANL2DZ and SDD. In all cases triplet structures for Re2(CO)n were found to be unfavorable energetically relative to ...

Cytoplasmic inclusions in respiratory syncytial virus-infected cells comprising viral nucleocapsid proteins (L, N, P, and M2-1) and the viral genome are sites of viral transcription. Although not believed to be necessary for transcription, the matrix (M) protein is also present in these inclusions, and we have previously shown that M inhibits viral transcription. In this study, we have investig...

It is well-known that if T is a Dm–Dn bimodule map on the m×n complex matrices, then T is a Schur multiplier and ‖T‖cb = ‖T‖. If n = 2 and T is merely assumed to be a right D2-module map, then we show that ‖T‖cb = ‖T‖. However, this property fails if m ≥ 2 and n ≥ 3. For m ≥ 2 and n = 3, 4 or n ≥ m2 we give examples of maps T attaining the supremum C(m,n) = sup{‖T‖cb : T a right Dn-module map o...

PURPOSE We investigated the potential of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 as anappropriate chemopreventive and/or therapeutic target for oral cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Immunohistochemical analysis of COX-2 expression was carried out on 37 oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) and 23 normal oral epithelium samples. We investigated whether the COX-2-selective inhibitor NS398 induced growth inhibition i...

The level splittings in a dimer with the antiferromagnetic coupling between two single-molecule magnets are calculated perturbatively for arbitrary spin. It is found that the exchange interaction between two single-molecule magnets plays an important role in the level splitting. The results are discussed in comparison with the recent experiment. 75.45.+j, 75.50.Xx, 75.50.Tt Typeset using REVTEX...

a study was carried out to map dispersal of trichogramma brassicae bezd. on tomato in a 0.5 ha field. first, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 meter distances from the central point of the field were marked in form of squares. on each square, 8 points were selected and a wooden stake of 1.5 m length was vertically secured into the soil at each point equal to plant height and bearing a yellow sticky trap ...
