Since the biological effects of maleic hydrazide (MH) were first described by SCHOENE and HOFFMANN (4), a great many papers have appeared describing the effects of that compound on growth and flowering. NAYLOR (3) sprayed tobacco, maize and cocklebur with various concentrations ranging from .025% to .2%o and obtained either suppression or delay of visible flowering. WHITE and KENNARD (5) delaye...

The chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) from fresh cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.) leaves was investigated by GC-MS. The antimicrobial activity of the EO was tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Scolicidal activity was assayed against Echinococcus granulosus protoscolices. In total, 34 compounds were identified, accounting for 98.96% of the EO. The ma...

We propose the use of maximum-entropy techniques to nest and test the functional form of commonly used yield densities. We demonstrate how common parametric yield models can be nested within a maximum-entropy framework and subsequently tested for using standard hypothesis tests. We include an empirical application that tests the beta distribution against a more general maximum-entropy alternati...

BACKGROUND Corns are a common foot problem and surveys have indicated that between 14-48% of people suffer from them. Many of these will seek podiatry treatment, however there is little evidence to indicate which current treatments provide long term resolution. This study compared 'usual' treatment (enucleation with a scalpel) with the application of 40% salicylic acid plasters to corns to inve...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield in per unit. in order to evaluating the effect of corn/soybean intercrop in different planting dates, a study was carried out in agricultural sciences and natural resources, university of sari, faculty of agriculture during 2005-2006. the experiment was a split plot design based on randomized complete block design with four repli...

poultry requirments for vitamins and minerals are met from two sources feed ingredients and premixes.in practical poultry nutrition, the role of feed ingredients is over looked. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the time of vitamin and mineral premixes withdrawal on growth and economic performance of broilers. four hundred and fifty, one day-old male broiler chickens (ros...
