The amino acid sequences of garden bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) trypsin inhibitor II and a related molecular species II' have been examined. The entire sequence of II' has been determined with the exception of five internal residues. The garden bean inhibitors are highly homologous to the Bowman-Birk soybean inhibitor and lima bean trypsin inhibitor IV. The trypsin-reactive site has been located i...

BACKGROUND The transition from planktonic planula to sessile adult corals occurs at low frequencies and post settlement mortality is extremely high. Herbivores promote settlement by reducing algal competition. This study investigates whether invertebrate herbivory might be modulated by other ecological factors such as substrata variations and coral species identity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FIND...

Vertical gardens are alternative green spaces produced for urban open-green spaces. In this study, the importance of correct plant use is emphasized in order to increase sustainability vertical garden systems, which have an important place ecology. Multi-criteria decision making methods were used determine right plant. Bornova Metro Station, located district İzmir province, was chosen as a samp...

The Garden is a new architecture for evolving Core Wars programs, short, assembly-language like creatures which battle in a simulated computer environment. With an agressive direct-compilation scheme, the Garden avoids nearly all external overhead for evaluating Core Wars programs. The resulting eÆciency allows us to explore and compare di erent evolutionary methods at a scale (thousands of war...

The dry landscape garden at Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto, Japan, a UNESCO world heritage site, intrigues hundreds of thousands of visitors every year with its abstract, sparse and seemingly random composition of rocks and moss on an otherwise empty rectangle of raked gravel. Here we apply a model of shape analysis in early visual processing to show that the 'empty' space of the garden is implicitly ...
