We use an optimised clover action to study spectroscopy on an instanton ensemble reconstructed from smoothed Monte Carlo configurations. Due to the better chirality of the clover action, the artificial configurations show a marked difference from the free field behaviour obtained with the Wilson action. They however still fail to reproduce the physics observed on the smoothed configurations. Th...

The sequestration in soil of organic carbon (SOC) derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by replacing arable crops with leys, has been measured over 70 years on a sandy loam soil. The experiment was designed initially to test the effect of leys on the yields of arable crops. A 3-year grazed grass with clover (grass + clover) ley in a 5-year rotation with arable crops increased percentage...

white clover is positively correlated with increased size of plant parts and reduced leaf density per unit area The plasticity of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) results in (Beinhart et al., 1963). changes in plant habit in response to different environmental stresses. The objective of this research was to characterize those morphological Defoliation through grazing or clipping is a managech...

erates frequent defoliation in monoculture (Peterson et al., 1994) or in binary mixture with grass (Kim, 1996) Improved dry matter (DM) production of cool-season grass monoand is suitable for hay or pasture production in this cultures may result from either N fertilization or the addition of legumes such as kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) or birdsregion (Sheaffer and Marten, 1991; She...

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Sward variables did not differ between the indoor grazed turves and the outdoor grazed swards (P>0.05), giving confidence that turves extracted from the plots were representative of in situ swards. Sward height was generally greater for grasses than white clover at the same maturity stage, but bulk density was greater for the clover. Reproductive swards had greater mass b...

The nucleotide sequence (5966 nucleotides) of cDNA clones of strawberry mild yellow edge-associated potexvirus was determined. The genome contains six open reading frames (ORFs) encoding putative proteins with Mrs of 149,423, 25,344, 11,576, 8079, 25,714 and 11,216. In the first three putative proteins and the coat protein considerable similarity was found to comparable polypeptides of the pote...

We present results of our quenched study of the B meson decay constant obtained with a parallel set of simulations with the Wilson and Clover actions at β=5.9, 6.1 and 6.3. Systematic errors associated with the large b-quark mass are analyzed within the Fermilab non-relativistic formalism. As our best estimate in the continuum limit we obtain fB=163±16 MeV and fB s =175±18 MeV with the Clover a...

Some ewes grazing oestrogenic pasture consistently produce viable offspring and are therefore considered to be resistant to Clover Disease. In a search for factors associated with this resistance Obst, Seamark and McGowan (1971) reported a significant association between ewe fertility and haemoglobin type (Hb) in a small flock of Merino ewes grazing Yarloop clover pastures. Low fertility and hi...

There have been many attempts to integrate object-oriented and functional programming. Solving the connicting requirements is diicult and only recently has a language, CLOVER, been designed that is purely functional and purely object-oriented and retains complete type safety. In this paper, we present the implementation of CLOVER: the object-oriented features are translated away in stages and t...

The present study investigated the impact of environmental pollution, represented in soil,irrigation water and air heavy metals, on the growth and production of Egyptian clovercultivated at south Greater Cairo, Egypt. Plants were sampled through five quadrats (0.5×0.5m), distributed equally in four cultivated farms in unpolluted and polluted sites, at theharvesting time. In addition, soil, air ...
