Muscadine grape is a perennial crop that highly responsive to local environmental factors and viticulture practices. Biochar promising soil amendment used improve water nutrient retention promote plant growth. The present study aimed assess the effects of different pinewood biochar rates on status vegetative parameters muscadine cv. Alachua grown nutrient-poor sandy soil, Ultisols (97.2% sand, ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of β-aminobutyric acid(BABA) (0, 300µM) in reduction of oxidative damages in leaves and roots of Brassica napus L. under drought stress (0, -0.2, -0.4 MPa). β-aminobutyric acid was investigated as an internal regulator hormone and its role in defense  mechanisms against biotic and abioticstresses. In this study, BABA pretreatment prevented...

The gadolinium calcium silicates having the apatite crystal structure can accommodate a wide range of point defects, including oxygen and cation vacancies, as well as anti-site defects, depending on the Gd/Ca ratio. Compositions having only cation or oxygen vacancies were identified and the thermal diffusivity and conductivity were measured up to 1000C. All the compositions, including the stoic...

Plants from Gynura family was used in this study, namely, Gynura procumbens and Gynura bicolor. Gynura procumbens is well known for its various medicinal properties such as antihyperglycaemic, antihyperlipidaemic, and antiulcerogenic; meanwhile, G. bicolor remains unexploited. Several nonenzymatic antioxidants methods were utilized to study the antioxidant capacity, which include ferric reducin...

Theorem proving techniques are particularly well suited for reasoning about arithmetic above the bit level and for relating di erent levels of abstraction. In this paper we show how a non-restoring integer square root algorithm can be transformed to a very e cient hardware implementation. The top level is a Standard ML function that operates on unbounded integers. The bottom level is a structur...

We have examined the influence of diluted pure celery and parsley leaf and root juices and their combinations with doxorubicin on the antioxidant status [as measured by the content of reduced glutathione (GSH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)] in liver homogenate and hemolysate and on the contents of cytochrome P450 in liver homogenate. It was found that doxorubicin significantly de...
