The re-isolation of trace anlOunts of virus added to tissue hOInogenates has been taken as a Inodel probleIll in the developIllent of high-resolution Illethods for separating particles. FroIll a review of data on these particles, it was found that, when sediIllentation rates are plotted against their banding or buoyant densities, IllOst viI'uses fall in a "window" which appears to be free of ot...

Zonal centrifugation, based either on sediInentation rate or on isopycnic banding in liquid density gradients, is useful for high-resolution separation of subcellular particles. However, the amoun t of material which may be separated is extremely limited when conventional centrifuges are employed. To increase the capacity and, in certain instances, the resolution of the method, the possibility ...

Sufficient amounts of influenza virus (density, 1.185; size, 722S) can be highly purified (22,000 chicken cell agglutinating units per milligram of protein) with a zonal ultracentrifuge, used first in a rate process followed by isopycnic banding, to permit its detailed biological and physical-chemical evaluation.

Cropping system level study is not only useful to understand to overall sustainability of agricultural system, but also it helps in generating many important parameters which are useful in climate change impact assessment. Considering its importance, Space Applications Centre, took up a project for mapping and characterizing major cropping systems of Indo-Gangetic Plains of India. The study are...

In forced two-dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere, it is well known that a multiple zonal-band structure, i.e. a structure with alternating eastward and westward jets, emerges in the course of time development. The multiple zonal-band structure then experiences intermittent mergers and disappearances of zonal jets, and a structure with only a few large-scale zonal jets is realised as an...

Multiple cropping, a common practice of intensive agriculture that grows crops multiple times in the agricultural land in one growing season, is an effective way to fulfill the food demand given limited cropland areas. Deriving cropping cycles from satellite data provides the spatial distribution of cropping intensities that allows for monitoring of the multiple cropping activities over large a...
