The partitioning and quality of aboveground biomass have important ramifications for crop management and biomass conversion. In preliminary studies, Saccharum sp. Miscanthus sp. hybrids exhibited stubble cold tolerance in west-central Arkansas, unlike Saccharum sp. Saccharum spontaneum hybrids. The objective was to examine foliar and stem quality of the C4 grasses Miscanthus sinensis (‘Gracilli...

ABSTRACT We apply the stochastic model of iron transport developed by Rebusco et al. (2005) to the Centaurus cluster. Using this model, we find that an effective diffusion coefficient D in the range 2× 1028− 4× 1028 cm2s−1 can approximately reproduce the observed abundance distribution. Reproducing the flat central profile and sharp drop around 30− 70kpc, however, requires a diffusion coefficie...

In a recent investigation of solid D2 as a UCN source[1], it was surmised that the yield of UCN is correlated with the spin states of the deuterium molecules. Subsequently, detailed neutron scattering calculations and measurements of the UCN lifetime in mixtures of paraand ortho-deuterium quantitatively verified this conjecture.[2,3,4,5,6] The work we report here was motivated by our attempt to...

Abstract Aim Acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) has been traditionally managed by inpatient admission for bowel rest, intravenous antibiotics, and fluids. World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) updated their guidelines in 2020 recommending that patients with AUD no significant co-morbidities or immunocompromise should be treated an ambulatory setting. This full audit cycle aimed to ass...

OBJECTIVE To review the incidence and clinical characteristics of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS This is a retrospective observational cohort study. Chest radiographs and medical records of patients with a diagnosis of AS from 1993 to 2003 in a tertiary referral centre were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 1028 patients with a diagnosis of AS were...

Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051a (=KCTC 1028), which is less domesticated than strain 168, is widely used for the secretory expression of industrial enzymes. Herein, we present the complete genome sequence of the Bacillus subtilis strain ATCC 6051a.

Good, David W., Thampi George, and Donna H. Wang. Angiotensin II inhibits HCO3 2 absorption via a cytochrome P-450-dependent pathway in MTAL. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Renal Physiol. 45): F726–F736, 1999.—The role of ANG II in the regulation of ion reabsorption by the renal thick ascending limb is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that ANG II (1028 M in the bath) inhibits HCO3 2 absorption by ...
