Comparisons of 2x, 3x, and 4X sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) lines and hybrids were made to determine the effects of ploidy level on sucrose yield and quality components in equivalent and non-equivalent hybrid populations. The relative order of importance for the components of recoverable sucrose was generally the same for all three ploidy levels, with root weight having the greatest path coeffic...

This paper is concerned with the verification of finite Markov chains against parametrized LTL (pLTL) formulas. In pLTL, the untilmodality is equipped with a bound that contains variables; e.g., ♦6x φ asserts that φ holds within x time steps, where x is a variable on natural numbers. The central problem studied in this paper is to determine the set of parameter valuations V≺p(φ) for which the p...

Scalar replacement or register promotion uses scalar variables to save data that can be reused across loop iterations, leading to a reduction of the number of memory operations at the expense of a possibly large number of registers. In this paper we present a compiler data reuse analysis capable of uncovering and exploiting reuse opportunities for array references that exhibit Multiple-Inductio...

Introduction: Persisting cancer related fatigue (CRF) has impact on health quality of life (HRQoL) and social re-integration patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The GHSG HD18 trial established treatment PET-2 guided de-escalation for advanced-stage HL as new standard. Here, we investigate the in long-term HRQoL domains time-to-recovery from (TTR-F). Methods: Mean scores (FA) EORTC QLQ-C30 ques...

In vitro gene expression strategy was used for the production of polyclonal antiserum to the nucleocapsid protein (NP) of Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV). The GBNV NP gene from cowpea isolate was cloned into 6x His-tagged UA cloning vector and expressed in Escherichia coli [M15] cells. The fusion protein was detected in insoluble fraction and was purified by using Ni-NTA agarose resin. The ...

The hydration behaviour of Ca3Al2O6, Ca12Al14O33 and CaAl2O4 with added amorphous silica at 40, 65 and 90 1C has been studied for periods ranging from 1 to 31 days. In hydrated samples crystalline phases like katoite (Ca3Al2(SiO4)3 x(OH)4x) and gibbsite, Al(OH)3, were identified, likewise amorphous phases like Al(OH)x, calcium silicate hydrates, C–S–H, and calcium aluminosilicate hydrates, C–S–...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopic imaging uses a combination of an FTIR spectrometer with a microscope and Focal Plane Array (FPA) detector. The method has been recognized as a powerful and versatile imaging tool in many disciplines, ranging from biomedical research through to materials science, art conservation and forensics. The Field Of View (FOV) depends on both the magnifi cati...
