resistance of 16 sugar beet cultivars to cercospora leaf spot was evaluated in ghaemshahr region. the experiment was conducted in a complete block design with six replications and disease severity of cultivars was measured two times. as a winter crop the root yield of cultivars and their disease severity compared under natural cercospora infection in dezfoul area in a complete block design with...

We consider the container loading problem that occurs at many furniture factories where product boxes are arranged on product pallets and the product pallets are arranged in a container for shipments. The volume of products in the container should be maximized, and the bottom of each pallet must be fully supported by the container floor or by the top of a single pallet to simplify the unloading...

The strict safety regulations for nuclear reactor control make it difficult to implement new control techniques such as fuzzy logic control (FLC). FLC however, can provide very desirable advantages over classical control, like robustness, adaptation and the capability to include human experience into the controller. Simple fuzzy logic controllers have been implemented for a few nuclear research...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to verify if mini-implant prototypes (MIP) developed for Herbst appliance anchorage are capable of withstanding orthopedic forces, and to determine whether the flexural strength of these MIP varies depending on the site of insertion (maxilla and mandible). METHODS Thirteen MIP were inserted in three minipig cadavers (six in the maxilla and seven in the...

We have analyzed transcription termination, 3'-end formation, and excision of the 3'-terminal intron in vivo in the Balbiani ring 1 (BR1) gene and its pre-mRNA. We show that full-length RNA transcripts are evenly spaced on the gene from a position 300 bp upstream to a region 500-700 bp downstream of the polyadenylation sequence. Very few full-length transcripts and no short, cleaved, nascent tr...

Let X be a topological space and G be a subgroup of the group H(X) of all auto-homeomorphisms of X. The pair (X,G) is then called a space-group pair. Let K be a class of space-group pairs. K is called a faithfull class if for every (X,G), (Y,H) ∈ K and an isomorphism φ between the groups G and H there is a homeomorphism τ between X and Y such that φ(g) = τ ◦g ◦ τ for every g ∈ G. The first impo...

Genes of the Drosophila Polycomb and trithorax groups (PcG and trxG, respectively) influence gene expression by modulating chromatin structure. Segmental expression of homeotic loci (HOM) initiated in early embryogenesis is maintained by a balance of antagonistic PcG (repressor) and trxG (activator) activities. Here we identify a novel trxG family member, taranis (tara), on the basis of the fol...

To assess the homology and phylogenetic relationship between porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) Anhui strains and other PEDV strains, molecular homology and phylogenetic analyses of Anhui PEDV field strains were compared with those of reference strains. The results revealed that the M and N genes of PEDV were 681 and 1326 bp long, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of the N genes of Anh...
