Hazel (Corylus avellana) is easily attacked by Curculio nucum L. To better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying different resistance of cultivars to C. nucum, we determined insect-resistant compounds, plant hormones contents, and enzyme activities in nutshells three hazel (DW, B21, MZ) before (preexisting defense) after (induced chewing. The findings demonstrated that differed sig...

The development of journal indexing since the early alphabetical tables to scientific works, culminating in current sophisticated cumulations, is traced. Standards for preparing indexes which have gradually evolved to cope with the increase in volume and complexity of the literature are described. Learned Publishing (2001)14, 123–130 Hazel Bell From herbals to Hotbot: the development of journal...

We examine the notion of α-strong singularity for subfactors of a II1 factor, which is a metric quantity that relates the distance of a unitary to a subalgebra with the distance between that subalgebra and its unitary conjugate. Using work of Popa, Sinclair, and Smith, we show that there exists an absolute constant 0 < c < 1 such that all subfactors are c-strongly singular. Under additional hyp...

Background: The determinant role of different movements to strengthen the quadriceps on rate of knee joint co-contraction, hamstring to quadriceps muscle activity ratio and vastus medialis to vastus lateralis muscle activity ratio provides useful information for therapists, coaches and athletes about the role of each movement in the rehabilitation of patients with anterior cruc...

the problem discussed in this paper is the effect of latency time on the ogy chaos control methodology in multi chaotic systems. the smith predictor, rhythmic and memory strategies are embedded in the ogy chaos control method to encounter loop latency. a comparison study is provided and the advantages of the smith predictor approach are clearly evident from the closed loop responses. the comple...
