Salinity and heavy metal stresses are great hindrances to germination the early developmentof plants. Nickel (Ni) is an indispensable micronutrient for plants at low while toxic in highconcentrations. Citrullus colocynth L. a medicinal cucurbit weed desert agriculturalareas. Germination development of seedlings determine future plant. Thecontemporary target study appraise influence single combi...

Liver involvement in tuberculosis infection is rare, and the radiological findings have previously been interpreted asmultiple liver tumors, hemangioma, abscess, or cirrhosis [1–3]. Conversely, hepatic cyst is a common benign liver tumor that is usually easy to diagnose as a simple hepatic cyst. Despite advances in imaging techniques, differentiating complicated hepatic cysts fromother tumors, ...

Recently the technological linear electron accelerators with the energy up to 10 and 25 MeV and the pulse current up to 1A have been developed and put into operation in the "Accelerator" R&D Production Establishment of the National Science Center, Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology [1]. The zone of the technological object irradiation by the accelerated electrons is created by the magn...

Este artigo se propõe a apresentar uma correlação entre as intensidades de chuva e movimentos massa ocorridos na Comunidade Formiga - RJ, no período março abril 2010, onde concentra 84% das ocorrências do ano. O desenvolvimento da deu partir dos registros estação telepluviométrica Tijuca. Foi adotado o critério Fundação Geo-Rio para definição início fim um evento foram elaborados gráficos corre...

We report the fabrication and accurate measurement of propagation and bending losses in single-mode silicon waveguides with submicron dimensions fabricated on silicon-on-insulator wafers. Owing to the small sidewall surface roughness achieved by processing on a standard 200mm CMOS fabrication line, minimal propagation losses of 3.6+/-0.1dB/cm for the TE polarization were measured at the telecom...

The simulation-based layout planning of automated material handling systems (AMHS) for microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing demands adequate simulation models. An approach for measuring and quantifying the AMHS layout performance of alternative planning variants is required. Fraunhofer IPA has developed simulation methods and a three level approach for calculation of AMHS performanc...

1. Rat tissue homogenates convert dl-1-aminopropan-2-ol into aminoacetone. Liver homogenates have relatively high aminopropanol-dehydrogenase activity compared with kidney, heart, spleen and muscle preparations. 2. Maximum activity of liver homogenates is exhibited at pH9.8. The K(m) for aminopropanol is approx. 15mm, calculated for a single enantiomorph, and the maximum activity is approx. 9mm...

Background MRI has evolved to become a safe diagnostic imaging tool for prenatal care. Recent studies have demonstrated its applications in early diagnosis of congenital heart anomalies (Loomba et al. 2011). However, in vivo embryonic MRI presents obstacles associated with small sample size, RF field profile distortion, RF exposure limits, motion etc. Therefore, small structures such as the hea...

The prototypic umami substance monosodium glutamate (MSG) reinforces preferences for its own flavor, as well as preferences for flavors associated with it, by conditioning processes. Mice of 3 inbred strains (C57BL/6J (B6), 129P3/J, and FVB/NJ) and 2 taste-knockout (KO) groups derived from the B6 lineage were initially indifferent to 200mM MSG, but this evaluation was altered by forced exposure...
