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...

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...

The homology of three somatic systems in Schizomida is studied yielding the following results: (1) proposal of homology and chaetotaxy of abdominal setae in Surazomus; (2) revision of the cheliceral chaetotaxy in Schizomida, with suggestion of new homology scheme between Hubbardiidae and Protoschizomidae, description of a new group of setae in Hubbardiinae (G7), and division of setae group 5 in...

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...
