Studies on the structure–activity relationship of drugs essentially require a relational learning scheme in order to extract meaningful chemical subgraphs; however, most relational learning systems suffer from a vast search space. On the other hand, some propositional logic mining methods use the presence or absence of chemical fragments as features, but rules so obtained give only crude knowle...

"Restructuring" in Romance refers to constructions which appear to violate Standard locality constraints, thereby presenting a challenge for syntactic theory. One of the most well-studied cases of restructuring is that of clitic climbing. This is illustrated in the Italian example (la), in which the clitic lo, the apparent object of leggere, appears on the higher verb vuole. As shown in (lb), i...

We studied soil nematode communities from the surface of granite flatrock outcrops in the eastern Piedmont region of the United States. The thin soils that develop here experience high light intensity and extreme fluctuations in temperature and moisture and host unique plant communities. We collected soils from outcrop microsites in Virginia (VA) and North Carolina (NC) in various stages of suc...

In order to improve zucchini production, the combined effect of charcoal amendment and seeding depth was tested at botanical garden Peleforo Gon Coulibaly University in Korhogo. To this end, six (6 kg) activated were buried elementary plots one month before sowing assess its on soil fertility. The experimental design that completely randomized two-factor blocks which are depth. Sowing carried o...

Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink when water evaporates from them. Hence, lightly loaded civil engineering structures founded in these soils are subjected to severe distress. Therefore, there is a need to ameliorate or improve these swelling soils through some innovative methods. This paper discusses chemical stabilisation of expansive soils, a technique in which chemical ...

The concentrations of atrazine in the freshly added soils and the soils that had been incubated for 50 days significantly decreased 1 day after the addition of the enzyme atrazine chlorohydrolase or the soil bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP as compared with those in the uninoculated soils. Atrazine chlorohydrolase or ADP had no effect on the degradation of metolachlor. The half-lives of atr...
