Two new double-headed protease inhibitors have been isolated from black-eyed peas. The isoinhibitors can be purified to homogeneity with greater than 90% recovery in a four-step procedure by means of sequential affinity chromatography on trypsin-Sepharose and chymotrypsin-Sepharose affinity columns. The isoinhibitors both have molecular weights near 8,000 and both have the same NH1-terminal res...

Since the introduction of Cyber Foraging, there has been a need for a scheme that partitions computation among client and server for optimal performance without compromising energy consumption. In previous schemes, scheduler was installed on server resulting in low adaptability to changing network and local computational resources. MARS, the first adaptive, online and lightweight scheduler, ach...

A series of poly(esteramine)s (PEAs) constructed from low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (LPEI) and Pluronic were evaluated for the delivery of antisense oligonuclotides (AOs), 2'-O-methyl phosphorothioate RNA (2'-OMePS) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) in cell culture and dystrophic mdx mice. Improved exon-skipping efficiency of both 2'-OMePS and PMO was observed in the C2C...

C(14), C(15), and C(16) alkyl nitriles, and C(16) and C(18) alkyl acetylenes at 10 to 105 micromolar concentrations promote the growth of stem sections from red-light-exposed seedlings of dwarf peas (Pisum sativum L. cv. Progress No. 9). Similar results were obtained with substances active as insect juvenile hormones, namely farnesol, the racemic ethyl ester of 1 of the natural hormones, and a ...

210 samples of onions (Allium cepa Hysam) from 11 conventionally and 10 organically cultivated sites and 190 samples of peas (Pisum sativum Ping Pong) from 10 conventionally and 9 organically cultivated sites in Denmark were collected and analyzed for 63 and 55 major and trace elements, respectively, by high-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Sampling, sample preparation, ...

Large quantities of oil and gas well brines are produced annually in Ohio. This paper presents chemical parameters measured for a Wayne County, Ohio, oil well brine and reports the effects of several incremental brine concentrations on the germination and seedling development of soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), soybeans (Glycine max), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), garden peas (Pi...

Studies were conducted in the Ulyanovsk region to determine optimal elements of spring soft wheat cultivation technology (predecessor, method basic tillage, fertilization, seeding rate), which provided greatest economic efficiency forest-steppe Volga region. It was found that shallow tillage an increase productive moisture reserves during entire vegetation, both for cereals and leguminous prede...

Microbiological control is very important in food industry to prevent foodborne diseases. Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to assess the microbiological quality of fresh vegetables collected from several regions of Ropar, Punjab, India. A total of 36 vegetable samples were collected and examined for their microbial load. Contamination was mainly found in cauliflower, peas, ca...

The digestibility coefficient and metabolizable energy (ME) content of the most important pigeon feeds (corn, wheat, barley, red and white millet, sorghum, canary seed, peas, lentils, sunflower, and hemp) were determined. The experiment was carried out using 10 adult male homing pigeons. All feeds were fed alone, in a whole-grain form, ad libitum. Drinking water and grit were offered to the bir...

Transgenic field peas (pisum sativum) expressing the alpha-amylase inhibitor (AAI) protein normally found in common beans (Tendergreen bean) are completely protected from infestation with pea weevils tested in the laboratory, greenhouse and field over several generations, and at many sites for efficacy against the insect pests. Previously, transgenic AAI pea feeding in mice was shown to influen...
