1. Some philosophical problems are decidedly esoteric. It might be thought that certain counterexamples Larry Temkin and Stuart Rachels have offered to the transitivity of the better-than relation are prime instances. For the most compelling of these putative counterexamples rely on our evaluative judgments concerning the quality of hypothetical lives that last an incredibly long time. And if t...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are characterized by their heterogeneity in composition, structure, and biological properties. In addition to the major structural protein apolipoprotein A1, HDL proteomes and lipidomes show great diversity. Such constituents presumably carry out the multitude of HDL functions, for example, reverse cholesterol transport, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, a...

to study  the effect of powdery mildew on sugar beet yield and percentage of sugar losses sugar percent losses, ten genotypes were compared in a factorial  experiment based on  randomized complete block design with 3 replications and two factors. the first factor was spraying treatment with two levels and the second were genotypes. inoculation was carried out using the pathogens' conidial ...

In temporal-logic model checking, we verify the correctness of a program with respect to a desired behavior by checking whether a structure that models the program satis es a temporal-logic formula that speci es the behavior. The model-checking problem for the branching-time temporal logic CTL can be solved in linear running time, and model-checking tools for CTL are used successfully in indust...

the study of world health organization (who) has shown that the use of herbal medicines has been increased dramatically around the world in recent years. with the expanding popularity and trade of medicinal plants, health, safety and quality of medicinal plant raw materials and processed products have become a major concern for world organizations. environmental pollutants, including heavy meta...

Plants absorb nutrients needed for plant type, growing season, depending on soil and yield. Absorb of nutrient 30-90 percent depends management practices in the use of fertilizer. Can be used fertilizers in most cases soil and for foliar feeding can be quickly absorbed into the plant at the proper levels of nutrition in cucumber. In this experiment, was used a split plot in a randomized complet...

in order to evaluate the yield, yield components and protein contents of two wheat cultivars (zarrin and gaspard) in sole cropping and intercropping systems,an experiment was conducted using replacement serious technique and different combinations of intercropping with high plant density and optimal of each cultivar. a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete block ...

Increasing grain yield and improving grain quality are two important goals for rice breeding. A better understanding of the factors that contribute to the overall grain quantity and nutritional quality of rice will lay the foundation for developing new breeding strategies. RAG2 is a member of 14-to-16-kDa α-amylase/trypsin inhibitors in rice, which belong to the albumin of seed storage proteins...
