Cultivated pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a phenotypically diverse species grown throughout the world. Wild and landrace peppers are typically small-fruited and pungent, but contain many important traits such as insect and disease resistance. Cultivated peppers vary dramatically in size, shape, pungency, and color, and often lack resistance traits. Fruit characteristics (e.g. shape and pericarp th...

The advent of cloud computing provides a cheap and convenient mechanism for scientists to share data. The utility of such data is obviously enhanced when the provenance of the data is also available. The cloud, while convenient for storing data, is not designed for storing and querying provenance. In this paper, we present desirable properties for distributed provenance storage systems and pres...

It has been established that lNH2SO4 solution and distilled water can be used as a protective medium for long-term storage (30-40 days) of thallium amalgam eutectic composition (8.6 mas.%), without sliming its surface an insignificant change concentration. An inverse dependence between the decomposition reaction rate ratio volume per unit contact (V:S), which corresponds to height liquid layer ...
