Food legumes are considered as the major source of dietary proteins among the plant species. Protein and amino acid contents were evaluated in a wide sample of both wild and cultivated genotypes of Phaseolus species, with a view to investigate possibilities of genetic improvement in seed nutritional quality. Results indicate a variation in relation with taxa, biological status within species (s...

In addition to automatically generating correct wiring, routers are used to meet additional design goals. Examples include reducing capacitive coupling and improving yield. Using routers to improve testa-bility has been mentioned in the literature, but concrete rules or methods have not been explained or implemented. In this paper, we show how a modiied router improves bridge fault testability ...

Seed coat morphology of Lemmonia californica. long held to be a relative of Nama. was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Its seed coat exhibits reticulum cells with undulate cell walls and columnar radial wall thickenings. Seed coat structure in nine species of Nama. N. demissum. N. aretioides. N. densum. N. parviflorum. N. pusillum. N. depressum. N. dichotomum. N. sericeum and N. ori...

The combinatorial Alexander dual of the independence complex Ind(G) and that of the edge covering complex EC(G) are shown to have isomorphic homology groups for each non-null graph G. This yields isomorphisms of homology groups of Ind(G) and EC(G) with homology dimensions being appropriately shifted and restricted. The results exhibits the complementary nature of homology groups of Ind(G) and E...

A simple method for detecting periodic components of unknown periodicity in a signal is presented. The method is based on spectral decomposition of signal using orthonormal functions. Traditionally, hypothesis testing together with harmonic functions is used, but we show that the same statistical properties are obtained for other systems of orthonormal functions as well. The appropriate behavio...

Incubation of Micromonospora purpurea SC 1210 (NRRL 5467) with L-[methyl-14C]methionine yielded [methyl-14C]gentamicin A and methyl-14C-labeled antibiotic JI-20A in a molar radioactivity ratio of 9:2. We did not isolate methyl-14C-labeled gentamicin X2, which was expected as an intermediate based on the biosynthetic pathways proposed by others. Addition of methyl-14C-labeled antibiotic JI-20A t...
