It has been shown by various investigators that the substances in the sieve tubes are qualitatively the same throughout the plant. This, together with a number of physiological observations, seems to suggest that substances move through the sieve tubes without their being metabolized (2, 8, 23). There is good evidence, however, that the movement over the short distance from the leaf parenchyma ...

Petiolar application of potassium cyanide inhibited (14)C-assimilate translocation without affecting source leaf photosynthesis or phloem loading of sucrose in Phaseolus vulgaris. The inhibition of transport was correlated with disruption of the structural integrity of the sieve tubes (sieve pore blockage) rather than impairment of a metabolic process in the translocation path driving transloca...

Sieve defines an email filtering language that can, in principle, plug into any point in the processing of an email message. As defined in the base specification, it plugs into mail delivery. This document defines how Sieve can plug into points in IMAP where messages are created or changed, adding the option of user-defined or installation-defined filtering (or, with Sieve extensions, features ...

We present an algorithm that finds polynomials with many roots modulo many primes by rotating candidate Number Field Sieve polynomials using the Chinese Remainder Theorem. We also present an algorithm that finds a polynomial with small coefficients among all integral translations of X of a given polynomial in ZZ[X]. These algorithms can be used to produce promising candidate Number Field Sieve ...

Chip size distribution is an important quality variable not only for buyers of forest fuels, but also for chipping contractors as it influences both fuel consumption and productivity of chippers. Studies of disc chippers and of drum chippers with closed drums have shown that increased chip target length increases chipper productivity and decreases fuel consumption per ton of chips produced. For...

We give details on solving the discrete logarithm problem in the 202-bit prime order subgroup of F2809 using the Function Field Sieve algorithm (FFS). To our knowledge, this computation is the largest discrete logarithm computation so far in a binary field extension of prime degree. The Function Field Sieve is the traditional approach for solving these problems, and has been used in previous re...
