Custer and Hood soybean cultivars were inoculated with nine levels of Criconemoides simile ranging from 300 to 20,600 nematodes per plant. Rate of reproduction decreased as inoculum level was increased beyond 900-2,000 nematodes. Final population density was influenced by both composition and level of inoculum. There was an indication that substance(s). inhibitory to larvae, accumnlated in soil...

The task of accurately estimating the reaeration coefficient in oxygenmodeling studies remains a primary concern to researchers. In lotic systems the reaeration coefficient has been directly estimated by deoxygenating a parcel of water and measuring its DO as it travels downstream (Gameson et al. 1955); by measuring the loss of radioactive-gas tracers (Tsivoglou et al. 1965, 1968) or hydrocarbo...

Fume hoods are one of the most common types of equipment applied to reduce the potential of particle exposure in laboratory environments. A number of previous studies have shown particle release during work with nanomaterials under fume hoods. Here, we assessed laboratory workers' inhalation exposure during synthesis and handling of CuO, TiO2 and ZnO in a fume hood. In addition, we tested the c...

Active hood lift system has been developed to get more spaces for decreasing the head injury during pedestrian impact. This system is composed of detecting sensor, ECU where the algorithm is embedded and the pyro-type actuators which raise the hood. By this system, the rear part of the hood is raised up to approximately 120mm. The test results of system operation are introduced for each three t...

S. Gil, J. Góral, J. Ochman, M. Saternus Department of Metallurgy, Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland A gasodynamic study of a model of hood space was performed based on measurements of velocity and concentration distributions of gases. The experiments have shown that the absolute values of gas velocities in the hood and the outlet channel as well as their profi les do not depe...

Aim. Chronic maternal iron deficiency anemia has been found to be related with preterm delivery, low birth weight and intrauterine growth retardation. The potential detrimental effects of maternal anemia on the transplacental fetal oxygen extraction during labor have not been investigated yet. Method. Upon the spontaneous initiation of delivery among 32 term pregnant women, half of them with he...

HRT-HOOD has methodological strengths that deserve to be preserved in the face of the commercial decline of HOOD technology. The UML meta-model, on the other hand, has a level of flexibility that makes it an especially attractive platform to express the specific real-time design minded features of the HRT-HOOD method. The objectoriented connotation of the method that results from mapping HRT-HO...

Robin Hood hashing is a variation on open addressing hashing designed to reduce the maximum search time as well as the variance in the search time for elements in the hash table. While the case of insertions only using Robin Hood hashing is well understood, the behavior with deletions has remained open. Here we show that Robin Hood hashing can be analyzed under the framework of finite-level fin...
