Body condition indices are commonly used in the management of fish populations and a surrogate to physiological attributes such as tissue-energy reserves. Relative factor (Kn) describes species relative geographic area. We developed models allow for calculation Kn Montana, USA by using weight–length data collected Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. generated log10weight–log10length relationshi...

Tung oil tree (Vernicia fordii) is a promising industrial oil crop; however, this tree is highly susceptible to Fusarium wilt disease. Conversely, Vernicia montana is resistant to the pathogen. The APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element binding factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factor superfamily has been reported to play a significant role in resistance to Fusarium oxysporum. In this study, compreh...

Alcohol imposes significant social costs on the residents of Montana. The state has one of the highest alcohol-related traffic fatality rates in the nation, and alcohol accounts for more than one-eighth of deaths among working aged adults statewide. 24/7 Sobriety requires alcohol-involved offenders to abstain from alcohol and submit to frequent alcohol testing; those failing or missing a test f...

In this paper a survey on the garrigue vegetation dominated by Satureja montana subsp. occurring in Alta Murgia National Park is presented. These communities were compared with those of Ionian Arc ravines. Syntaxonomic, structural, chorological and ecological analyses performed order to achieve proper classification vegetation. A new association here described, Rhamno saxatilis-Saturejetum mont...

Simple and analytically tractable expressions for functional determinants are known to exist for many cases of interest. We extend the range of situations for which these hold to cover systems of self-adjoint operators of the Sturm-Liouville type with arbitrary linear boundary conditions. The results hold whether or not the operators have negative eigenvalues. The physically important case of f...

Pharmacognostical studies on Oxalis corniculate (Changeri) stem and leaves along with pre-liminary phytochemical studies are presented in this paper.
