Dehydrins (DHNs) are a family of plant proteins typically induced in response to stress conditions that cause cellular dehydration, such as low temperatures, high salinity, and drought. Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a perennial fruit crop that blossoms during winter. Loquat fruitlets are frequently injured by freezing. To evaluate the role of the EjDHNs in freezing resistance in loquat fruitl...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of using semi-rigid ureteroscopy with or without intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripsy vs. temporary ureteric JJ stenting in the management of obstructing ureteric calculi in pregnant women. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective comparative study comprised 43 pregnant women with obstructing ureteric calculi. The diagnosis was based on the acute flank pain as t...

The Shannon capacity of every induced subgraph of a perfect graph equals its clique number. However, for the co{normal powers of an odd cycle the super{multiplicativity of the clique number makes the determination of capacity one of the hardest problems in combinatorics. We study the asymptotic growth of induced subgraphs of some particular type in powers of a xed graph. In case of a simple gra...

We study the spectrum of unbounded J-self-adjoint block operator matrices. In particular, we prove enclosures for the spectrum, provide a sufficient condition for the spectrum being real and derive variational principles for certain real eigenvalues even in the presence of non-real spectrum. The latter lead to lower and upper bounds and asymptotic estimates for eigenvalues. AMS Subject classifi...

In order to address JJ-TRIALS goals of: a) improving behavioral health services for youth with substance use problems; and b) advancing the investigation of implementation efforts in the field of behavioral health, the JJ-TRIALS Workgroup on Evidence-Based Practices (EPA) was first charged with defining quality indicators for practices and programs. We limited that effort to programs, practices...

OBJECTIVE A theory of fuzzy polynucleotides, including an n-dimensional metric fuzzy polynucleotide space, has been previously introduced by the present author for fuzzy-theoretical analysis of nucleic acids [Sadegh-Zadeh K. Fuzzy genomes. Artif Intell Med 2000;18:1-28; Sadegh-Zadeh K. Ein Verfahren zur Fuzzydecodierung und Fuzzydechiffrierung von Informationen. Offenlegungsschrift DE 199 36 92...
