Abstract At the climax of quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon in Iliad , ponders whether to kill king (1.191). The first half line, however, has received little attention, but various interpretations that have been put forth unconvincing. This article proposes an interpretation reveals at least momentarily contemplating fomenting a revolt on part army against Agamemnon's authority.

Landslides in tropical and sub-tropical regions are generally associated with weathered rock profiles which often possess chemical and mineralogical heterogeneities at materialand mineral-scales. Such heterogeneities reach a climax by the occurrences of oxyhydroxideand clayrich zones. Weakness and low permeability of these zones makes them ideal for the development of slip zones along which lan...

In this paper, we tackle the problem of microalgae selection in a continuous photobioreactor where microalgae growth is limited by light. We propose a closed-loop control for selecting, for a given range of light intensity, the strain with the maximum growth rate from the microalgae population. In particular, we are interested in strains with high growth rate for high light intensity, i.e.,stra...

Knowledge of the community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi among successional forest age-classes is critical for conserving fungal species diversity. Hypogeous and epigeous sporocarps were collected from three replicate stands in each of three forest age-classes (young, rotation-age, and old-growth) of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) dominated stands with mesic plant assoc...

A study was conducted to check the effect of different sowing dates and row spacing on the growth, seed yield and quality of offseason pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Climax). Significant differences were recorded among sowing dates for days to germination while nonsignificant results were found for row spacing and interaction (A × B). Maximum days to germination were recorded in D1 (20 th April) and...
