The effects of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) on the fruit yield, growth and nutrient element content of strawberry cv. Fern were investigated under organic growing conditions between 2006 and 2008. The experimental plot was a completely randomized design with 3 replicates. Three PGPB strains (Pseudomonas BA-8, Bacillus OSU-142 and Bacillus M-3) were used alone or in combination as biof...

Sampling of triethylamine in the cold-box unit in an auto-manufacturing company in Iran has indicated the average concentration of 430 mg/m3 in the emission duct. In this study a biotrickling filter was used for treatment of triethylamine in air stream. Triethylamine removal efficiency (K/L) pattern was evaluated by changing volumetric loading (L), superficial gas velocity (Uo), empty bed gas r...

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR: EC 1.5.1.20) polymorphisms are associated to acute lymphoid leukemia in different populations. We used the polymerase chain reaction and the restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP) to investigate MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphism frequencies in 67 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 27 with acute myeloid leukemia FAB sub...

We consider Nambu-Poisson 3-algebras on three dimensional manifolds M3, such as the Euclidean 3-space R, the 3-sphere S as well as the 3-torus T . We demonstrate that in the Clebsch-Monge gauge, the Lie algebra of volume preserving diffeomorphisms SDiff(M3) is identical to the Nambu-Poisson algebra on M3. Moreover the fundamental identity for the Nambu 3-bracket is just the commutation relation...

Let S be a scheme. In this paper, we define the notion of biextensions of 1-motives by 1-motives. Moreover, if M(S) denotes the Tannakian category generated by 1-motives over S (in a geometrical sense), we define geometrically the morphisms of M(S) from the tensor product of two 1-motives M1⊗M2 to another 1-motive M3, to be the isomorphism classes of biextensions of (M1, M2) by M3: HomM(S)(M1 ⊗...

Four species of Triplocania, three with M3 simple, based on male specimens and one with forewing M3 forked, based on male and female specimens, are here described and illustrated, namely: Triplocaniabravoi sp. n. (Napo: Ecuador), Triplocaniaerwini sp. n. (Napo: Ecuador), Triplocaniatrifida sp. n. (Mato Grosso and Rondônia: Brazil) and Triplocanialamasoides sp. n. (Rondônia: Brazil). They differ...

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17) appears in two phenotypes: AML M3, with abnormal promyelocytes showing heavy granulation and bundles of Auer rods, and AML M3 variant (M3v), with non- or hypogranular cytoplasm and a bilobed nucleus. We investigated the global gene expression profiles of 35 APL patients (19 AML M3, 16 AML M3v) by using high-density DNA-oligonucleotide microarrays...
