In the history of the Rice Dramatic Club, there have been occasions when it has fallen in the power of the or ganization to produce outstanding modern dramas by contemporary playwrights—plays rich in enter ta inment quality, subtle in humor ; plays which live in the minds of the a u dience long af ter the final curtain falls. Such plays as "The Roynl Family," "Hay Fever ," and "Hell Bent for He...

Considering multiple reports on cytotoxic activity of the Artemisia genus and its phytochemicals, in the current study A. armeniaca Lam. and the three components isolated from the plant were subjected to cytotoxic studies. Analytical fractionation of A. armeniaca aerial parts for the first time was directed to the isolation of 7-hydroxy-8-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy) comarin (armenin), 8-hydroxy-...

Among imported plants, seeds are the items that have many latent pathogens and are difficult to inspect. Also, they are the import and export items whose market is expected to expand. The biggest problem with seeds is viruses. Prune dwarf virus (PDV) is the virus that is commonly inspected in Prunus cerasifera, P. persica, P. armeniaca, P. mandshurica, P. cerasus, P. avium or P. serotina seeds....

Let 1 < p ̸= 2 < ∞, ε > 0 and let T : lp(l2) into → Lp[0, 1] be an isomorphism Then there is a subspace Y ⊂ lp(l2), (1 + ε)-isomorphic to lp(l2), such that: T|Y is an (1+ ε)-isomorphism and T (Y ) is Kp-complemented in Lp [0, 1], with Kp depending only on p. Moreover, Kp ≤ (1 + ε)γp if p > 2 and Kp ≤ (1 + ε)γp/(p−1) if 1 < p < 2, where γr is the Lr norm of a standard Gaussian variable.

Using a recent result of Batson, Spielman and Srivastava, We obtain a tight estimate on the dimension of lp , p an even integer, needed to almost isometrically contain all k-dimensional subspaces of Lp. In a recent paper [BSS] Batson, Spielman and Srivastava introduced a new method for sparsification of graphs which already proved to have functional analytic applications. Here we bring one more...
