Traditionally, proprioception has been assessed with a passive model, in which an external apparatus moves a body segment. Recently, protocols have been developed based on active movements, which are more representative of functional activities. However, even these approaches require expensive testing equipment and the necessity of a visit to a research lab, as there are no commercially availab...

Antifungal activities of crude extractum of Nanshancha Seed Cake (NSC), to inactivate postharvest pathogens were investigated. Highest inhibitory rate was found against C. musae, C. gloeosporioides and C. papaya P.Henn, which was much stronger than that by tea saponin. Compared to tea saponin, effects of NSC extractum was relatively weak and similar on C. gloeosporioides Penzig and P. italicum....

Field trials were conducted during rainy seasons in 2018 and 2019 at Federal, University Dutse Teaching Research Farm the Northern Sudan Savanna ecological zone of Nigeria. To evaluate effect NPK fertilizer spacing on growth yield okro. The experiment consists three levels (30, 60 120 kg/ha) (10, 15 20 cm). treatments combination was laid out randomized complete block design replicated times. r...

sunburn damage is a physiological disorder, which reducing pomegranate fruits quality and result to huge loss to the gardeners yearly. in this study, the effects of kaolin on maintaining fruit quality and decreasing sunburn damage of malas-e-torsh-e-saveh pomegranate was investigated. processed kaolin (surround® wp) with 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 % (w/v) was sprayed over the whole canopy and fruits at 4...

In this paper, we prove arithmetic properties modulo 5 and 7 satisfied by the function pod(n) which denotes the number of partitions of n wherein odd parts must be distinct (and even parts are unrestricted). In particular, we prove the following: For all n ≥ 0, pod(135n + 8) ≡ 0 (mod 5), pod(135n + 107) ≡ 0 (mod 5), pod(135n + 116) ≡ 0 (mod 5), pod(675n + 647) ≡ 0 (mod 25), pod(3375n + 1997) ≡ ...

The study of flower development has experienced great advances over the last 15 years. The most important landmark was the proposal of the ABC model in which three different functions of overlapping activities account for the development of the four rings of organs of the eudicot flower. Most interestingly, during recent years this simple and elegant model has been broadly accepted and is appli...

Falcataria moluccana (albizia) is an exotic nitrogen (N)-fixing tree currently invading riparian forests in Hawai‘i, U.S.A. This study examined how this invasion is impacting stream ecosystems by using naturally occurring stable isotopes of carbon (C) and N to compare food web structure between a noninvaded and an albizia-invaded stream reach on the island of Hawai‘i. Isotopic signatures of par...
