Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an important disease of wheat worldwide caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum (syn. Gibberella zeae). This fungus can be highly aggressive and can produce several mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON), a well known harmful metabolite for humans, animals, and plants. The fungus can survive overwinter on wheat residues and on the soil, and can usually attack the wh...

Like the movements of the MinD protein, rapid move-1965 to 1996, the period covered by the book, Don Metcalf was Head of the Cancer Research Unit and ments are occurring in the intellectual landscape of cell Assistant Director of the Institute, which was headed biology, and cell polarity is no exception. This volume during this period by Gus Nossal. The focus of Metcalf's is a snapshot of the f...

In this paper we continue previous work from Sannella, Sokolowski and Tarlecki on parameterization in specification languages. Within the loose approach, we define specification and model level semantics for two kinds of parameterizations (parameterized specifications and specifications of parameterized data types) and describe, in a compositional manner, parameter passing at the two levels. Mo...

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and phosphorus (DOP) represent themost abundant formof their respective nutrient pool in the surface layer of the oligotrophic oceans and play an important role in nutrient cycling and productivity. Since DOP is generally more labile than DON, it provides additional P that may stimulate growth of nitrogen-fixing diazotrophs that supply fixed nitrogen to balance ...

of the most resistant two-rowed barley accessions identified is CIho 4196 (Prom et al., 1996; Takeda, 1992). Fusarium head blight (FHB), incited by Fusarium graminearum This accession originates from China and is being used Schwabe [telomorph Gibberella zea (Schwein)], has caused devastating losses to yield and quality of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) proextensively as a parent by the six-rowed b...

Previous research showed that nursery pigs fed deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated diets supplemented with spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) had similar growth rate and feed intake as those consuming noncontaminated diets. In this study, two blocks of 100 weanling pigs were used to determine the optimal inclusion level of spray-dried bovine plasma(SDBP) required in nursery diets contaminated with...

[1] The allochthonous supply of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) from gyre margins into the interior of the ocean’s oligotrophic subtropical gyres potentially provides an important source of new N to gyre surface waters, thus sustaining export production. This process requires that a fraction of the transported DON be available to euphotic zone photoautotroph communities via mineralization. In ...
