Cover crops act as green manure adding organic matter to agricultural-soils. For legume green manures to be an effective nitrogen (N) source for organic farming systems, their N release must be in synchrony with crop N demand. The objectives of this study were 1) determine the decomposition rates of three common cover crops (white clover, (Trifolium repens,L) red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) ...

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among Iranian women. Nowadays, the use of traditional medicinal plants has emerged as a tempting complementary to the treatment of breast cancer due to minimal side effects and less documented drug resistance. The aim of this study was to examine the anticancer effects of the essential oils of red clover and mature fruit of Bass...

We present preliminary results of light hadron spectroscopy using valence, tadpole-improved, Clover fermions on an ensemble of gauge configurations generated with 2 flavors of staggered fermions at β = 5.6. We compare the slope and intercept of the curve MV vs. M 2 P S for Clover and Wilson fermions. We show that a higher order chiral perturbation theory ansatz works very well for chiral extrap...

For the Stout Link Non-perturbative Clover (SLiNC) action we determine in one-loop lattice perturbation theory the critical hopping parameter κc and the clover parameter cSW which is needed for O(a) improvement. Performing this calculation off-shell we are also able to compute the non gauge invariant quark field improvement coefficient cNGI . Additionally, we present first results for the renor...

Using Schrödinger functional techniques, we determine the coefficient of the clover term necessary for non-perturbative O(a) improvement of hypercubic smeared Wilson fermions on a quenched plaquette action background. Unlike for unsmeared Wilson fermions, the resulting clover coefficients are close to the tree–level value even at coarse lattice spacings, indicating the absence of large cutoff e...

The EXOGAM clover detector consists of four high-purity germanium (HPGe) crystals in a common cryostat. Each individual crystal is electrically segmented into four regions. We propose a method based on a multidimensional fitting procedure to calibrate the energy from the segments. This method could be used for any kind of segmented germanium detector. Its application to the EXOGAM clover is dis...
