Many studies on broccoli have analyzed the functional components and their functionality in terms of antioxidant and anticancer activities; however, these studies have focused on the florets of different varieties. Investigation of the functionality of broccoli by-products such as leaves, stems, and leaf stems from different cultivars and harvest dates might be valuable for utilizing waste mate...

This study elucidated O2 dynamics in shoots and roots of submerged Halosarcia pergranulata (Salicornioideae), a perennial halophytic stem succulent that grows on floodprone mudflats of salt lakes. Oxygen within shoots and roots was measured using microelectrodes, for plants when waterlogged or completely submerged, with shoots in light or in darkness, in a controlled environment. Net photosynth...

Work has been under way since spring U>do ac tlie Center for Computational Linguistics to ptxxiuce a key worxl index of basic forms for FASSIS by semi­ automatic means. One step towards this goal is to build a stem dictionary covering the material (see further Sågvall Hein l9Ö5a). Two parallel lines have been followed side by side. On the one hand, the full text of FASS has been investigated an...

Cemented titanium stems in hip arthroplasty are associated with proximal cement-stem ebonding and early failure. This was well publicised with the 3M Capital hip. However, corrosion in this setting has been reported with only one stem design and is less widely accepted. We present a series of 12 cemented titanium Furlong Straight Stems which required revision at a mean of 78 months for thigh pa...

Multi-subunit RNA polymerases are the enzymes that perform transcription in all living organisms and that have emerged before the divergence of domains of life. The structures of catalytic cores and their functions during elongation step of transcription cycle are very similar for all multi-subunit RNA polymerases. In contrast, the mechanisms for terminating the RNA synthesis have seemingly div...

This paper describes the experiments conducted in the ad-hoc retrieval task of the Genomic track at TREC 2004. Different query expansion techniques based on the addition of keyword stems and of genomic product symbols selected by relevance feedback were studied. Stemming was tested using a mutual reinforcement process for building a domain-specific stemmer. Relevance feedback was tested using a...

A new cyclopeptide, grifficyclocin A (1), and a new aporphine alkaloid, griffinin (2) were isolated together with two known styryllactones from the stems of Goniothalamus griffithii. Their structures were identified spectroscopically and chemically. Among them, the griffinin (2) was isolated as the enol form in two tautomers, and the two known styryllactones, goniothalamin (3) and 8- O-acetylgo...

according to the contradictory reports of researchers, tillers may have positive or negative effect on wheat yield. thus, this study was conducted to investigate the role of tillers on wheat yield under two row spacing of 12.5 and 25 cm and four plant densities of 125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2, at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm in anbare-ololum reign...
