Nudibranchs are shell-less molluscs that are often brightly colored and seemingly defenseless against predation. However, these beautiful animals usually contain large amounts of diet-derived natural products that help defend them against predation. We have isolated a blue tetrapyrrole from Nembrotha kubaryana, the known nakafuran-8 and -9 from Hypselodoris infucata and spongiane-16-one from Ch...

ABSTRACT- Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. Present study was performed to investigate and compare soil formation of paddy soils with long-term rice cultivation history with non-paddy soils and study the effect of waterlogging on soil pedogenesis. Soil samples were taken from paddy and non-paddy soils derived from the same calcareous parent materials. Some pedogen...

Cadmium (Cd) has accumulated in New Zealand agricultural systems, predominantly from the application of phosphorus (P) fertiliser to soils. Elevated Cd concentrations soils are an important issue due their potential adverse effects on food quality, soil health, land use flexibility, and environment. This paper reports our current knowledge summarising published unpublished research that been un...

There are millions of species living in soils. Most this biodiversity is made up bacteria and fungi, tiny organisms that make what called the soil microbiome. The size composition microbiome mainly controlled by two groups predators: protists nematodes. Protists single-celled organisms, while nematodes worms most numerous animals on Earth. together weight more than all other Earth! keep balance...

Properly colored cycles in edge-colored graphs are closely related to directed oriented graphs. As an analogy of the well-known Caccetta–Häggkvist Conjecture, we study existence properly bounded length graph. We first prove that for all integers s and t with ≥ 2 , every graph G no K contains a spanning subgraph H which admits orientation D such cycle is . Using this result, show r 4 if Conjectu...

The study of problems modeled by edge-colored graphs has given rise to important developments during the last few decades. For instance, the investigation of spanning trees for graphs provide important and interesting results both from a mathematical and an algorithmic point of view (see for instance [1]). From the point of view of applicability, problems arising in molecular biology are often ...

Abstract We consider maximum properly edge-colored trees in edge-colored graphs Gc. We also consider the problem where, given a vertex r, determine whether the graph has a spanning tree rooted at r, such that all root-to-leaf paths are properly colored. We consider these problems from graphtheoretic as well as algorithmic viewpoints. We prove their optimization versions to be NP-hard in general...
