Interlocking Paving Blocks (IPB) are, nowadays, a widely used construction material. As result of the surge in demand for IPBs, alternative materials have been investigated to be IPBs. This study strength and durability characteristics (compressive strength, split tensile density, water absorption, skid resistance, abrasion resistance) IPBs presence (waste materials) crumb rubber (CR) coconut c...

The transformation of phosphorus (P) is a major factor of lake eutrophication, and phosphate releasing bacteria play an important role in the release process. Experiments were conducted to investigate P content and characterize phosphate solubilizing bacterial composition at the molecular level in a shallow eutrophic lake and a wetland. Results showed that P concentrations were relatively high ...

Wheat, which is scientifically known as Triticum aestivum L., a very nutritious grain that serves key component of the human diet. The use mutation breeding tool for crop improvement reasonably rapid procedure, and it generates variety may be used in selective programs well functional gene investigations. present experiment was to evaluate potential application conventional chemical mutagenesis...

The use of mutagens in plant breeding is used to create new germplasm, increase agricultural yield, quality, and resistance diseases pests. Mutagens are physical or chemical factors that can alter the DNA RNA structure an organism, causing mutations above expected level. One most common potent EMS (ethyl-methane sulfonate), which produces point plants, but a lesser degree also cause loss deleti...

Retrotransposons are a major component of virtually all eukaryotic genomes, which makes them useful as molecular markers. Various molecular marker systems have been developed that exploit the ubiquitous nature of these genetic elements and their property of stable integration into dispersed chromosomal loci that are polymorphic within species. To detect polymorphisms for retrotransposon inserti...

Speech contains prosodic cues such as pauses between different phrases of a sentence. These intonational phrase boundaries (IPBs) elicit a specific component in event-related brain potential studies, the so-called closure positive shift. The aim of the present functional magnetic resonance imaging study is to identify the neural correlates of this prosody-related component in sentences containi...
