With the final aim of obtaining saIt tolerant olive plants, olive cvs. growing in the olive Germplasm Bank (World Collection) of Córdoba (Spain) (WC-CO) and plants growing in three harsh saline zones, each divided into two subzones, were selected. The zones and subzones were: "Odiel" River Marsh (Huelva) with the subzones "Rabo conejo" (O-RC) y "Acebuchal" (O-AC); "Doñana" National Park (Huelva...

In the frq-wc-based circadian feedback loops of Neurospora, two PAS domain-containing transcription factors, WHITE COLLAR-1 (WC-1) and WC-2, form heterodimeric complexes that activate the transcription of frequency (frq). FRQ serves two roles in these feedback loops: repressing its own transcription by interacting with the WC complex and positively upregulating the levels of WC-1 and WC-2 prote...

Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) alloys have various mechanical properties according to their Co content and manufacturing method. High-strength materials such as WC-Co are usually manufactured using sintering methods. In this study, was compared the method sinter-hot isostatic pressing process. Furthermore, an additional test performed investigate effect of post-hot (HIP) treatment on propertie...

The road pavement structure has a fillercommonly referred to as filler. Filler (filler) is one of the materials that an important function, namely cavity filler from asphalt mixture. This research see effect adding wood charcoal content in AC-WC mixture and HRS-WC with variations addition by 0%; 0.5%; 1%; 1.5%; 2% based on total Examination aggregate was carried out get optimum level asphalt, v...

The basic algorithm is derived from the weak-commitment algorithm (WC) of Yokoo [17], which has been shown to outperform breakout and min-conflict backtracking on certain classes of problems. Weakcommitment search is that part of WC which results from removing the learning mechanism; this will be called WC-NL. WC-NL is coupled with learning-by-merging to form the new algorithm WC-NG. Experiment...

BACKGROUND In the same period as the increasing obesity epidemic, there has been an increased consumption of highly processed foods with a high salt content, and a few studies have suggested that a diet with a high salt content may be associated with obesity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between 24 h urinary sodium excretion and subsequent change in body weight (BW), waist circumf...

Interlocked feedback loops may represent a common feature among the regulatory systems controlling circadian rhythms. The Neurospora circadian feedback loops involve white collar-1 (wc-1), wc-2, and frequency (frq) genes. We show that WC-1 and WC-2 proteins activate the transcription of frq gene, whereas FRQ protein plays dual roles: repressing its own transcription, probably by interacting wit...

This work presents a detailed investigation for the effect of Y2O3 and Ni additions on densification behavior, microstructural evolution mechanical properties WC-Co-TaC-NbC composite. With aim obtaining WC-based composites with improved fracture toughness, to be used in severe conditions high-temperature deformation, different concentrations were incorporated without 5 wt% addition. The consoli...
