Selected in-®eld physical, chemical and biological indicators were measured for the rapid assessment of soil quality changes in a Sorrento silty clay loam as a result of compost and ammonium nitrate application to a broccoli ®eld (San Benito County, CA). Plots were laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications of 0, 22 and 44 Mg haÿ1 compost treatments which were split t...

Conventions and Notations (1) The measure space (M;M; ) is interpreted as having M as the underly set, M the sigma algebra on M , and the mesaure on M: If M is a metric space then M is taken as the sigma algebra generated by all its metric-open sets. (2) For two measure spaces (M;M; ) ; (M1;M1; 1) the measure space (M M1;M M1; 1) is their product measure space. All measurs in the paper are cons...

325 Land hydrologic responses to meteorological forcing involve complicated exchanges of moisture and energy between soil, vegetation, snowpack, groundwater, and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer. These exchanges occur in the form of many interactive natural hydrologic processes, including precipitation, snow and soil water melting and freezing, infi ltration, storage and movement of soi...

A lthough leprosy is no longer a health problem in developed countries, it continues to affect millions of people in large parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Effective chemotherapeutic treatments are available that have reduced the global disease burden dramatically, but there remain important challenges to fi ghting and controlling the disease. Leprosy is a chronic infection of the skin...

Background: Rabies virus is a neurotropic virus that causes fatal, but, a preventable disease in mammals. Administration of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) is essential for the post-exposure of the prophylaxis to prevent the disease. However, replacement of polyclonal RIGs with alternative monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that are capable of neutralizing rabies virus has been recommend...

Introduction. Malignant tumors dominate in the picture of disability and mortality worldwide. One most frequent dangerous comorbid conditions is kidney injury. At same time, unfavorable incidence acute injury recorded multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma and/or liver cancer malignant ovarian neoplasms. In this regard, vital importance choice tactics prevention thrombosis thromboembolic complica...

Understanding the factors that contribute to U^Pb discordance in zircon is essential for interpreting isotopic data and for assessing the validity of concordia intercept ages. Modification caused by interaction with metamorphic fluids is often cited as a primary means by which significant or even complete isotopic resetting of U^Pb systematics in zircon might be achieved under subsolidus condit...
