various plant organ segments including segments from roots (root tip, and root collar), stems, leaves, and also seeds of several hyoscyamus species (i.e. h. pusillus, h. arachnoideus, annual and biennial h. niger from two distinct geographical regions) were cultured on ms media with various growth regulator combinations, to assess the ability of flower production. statistical assessments showed...

The paper analyzes the situation of intermediaries and their business models in the Swiss health system. Various intermediary roles are positioned within the value-added chain of the healthcare system. Particular attention is paid to cost-benefit relationships of intermediation for partners of the intermediary and for the intermediary itself. With regard to the connection between healthcare pro...

We consider a central extension of the mapping class group of a surface with a collection of framed colored points. The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFTs associated to SU(2) and SO(3) induce unitary representations of this group. We show these representations have finite image in the case r is an odd prime. We show this for all r if the surface is a sphere. We show this for all r if the surface i...

About 600 compounds were screened as possible carbon or nitrogen sources for Salmonella typhimurium LT-2. About 100 utilizable compounds were found.

In this talk, we show how the monodromy matrix, M̂, can be constructed for the two dimensional tree level string effective action. The pole structure of M̂ is derived using its factorizability property. It is shown that the monodromy matrix transforms non-trivially under the non-compact T-duality group, which leaves the effective action invariant and this can be used to construct the monodromy ma...
