Returns of an individual enterprise in the short term are usually measured through a gross margin budget, which is determined by subtracting factors such as the cost of weed control (both herbicide and non-herbicide) and other inputs (eg seed and fertiliser) from gross income (calculated as crop yield multiplied by grain price). Crop yield is directly influenced by weed density, which itself is...

Let S1 (the Schatten–von Neumann trace class) denote the Banach space of all compact linear operators T : `2 → `2 whose nuclear norm ‖T‖S1 = ∑∞ j=1 σj(T ) is finite, where {σj(T )} ∞ j=1 are the singular values of T . We prove that for arbitrarily large n ∈ N there exists a subset C ⊆ S1 with |C| = n that cannot be embedded with bi-Lipschitz distortion O(1) into any n-dimensional linear subspac...

Methods and results The present experiments firstly tested whether deficits in extinguishing emotional responses in S1 extends to contextual extinction. No reduction in emotional responses to the context was observed during an extinction training session which indicates generalised inability of S1 to engage associative fear extinction mechanisms. This was in contrast to mice of another 129 stra...

Anatomical, physiological, and lesion data implicate multiple cortical regions in the complex experience of pain. These regions include primary and secondary somatosensory cortices, anterior cingulate cortex, insular cortex, and regions of the frontal cortex. Nevertheless, the role of different cortical areas in pain processing is controversial, particularly that of primary somatosensory cortex...

OBJECTIVE Although the L5-S1 has distinct structural features in comparison with other lumbar spine segments, not much is known about adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) at the L5-S1 segment. The aim of study was to compare the incidence and character of ASD of the cephalad and L5-S1 segments after L5 floating lumbar fusion. METHODS From 2005 to 2010, 115 patients who underwent L5 floating lu...

UNLABELLED Objective : Esophageal stethoscope has the advantage of being non-invasive, easily placed and capability to monitor the heart sound. This study was designed to determine whether the ratio of S1 to S2 analyzed by esophageal stethoscope and wireless bluetooth transmission can be accurate indicator that express the correlation with blood pressure. METHODS Total 33 adult male and femal...

High frequency of Swedish Landrace goats are the carriers of a mutation, where the affected goats are not able to produce S1-casein ( S1-CN) in the milk. As a consequence the lack of this protein is connected to lower cheese yield. The aim of this study was thus to determine the relationship between the S1-CN content and coagulation properties of milk from Swedish Landrace goats. Milk samples f...

The terminology and notation used here have been introduced in the following articles: [11], [2], [8], [3], [4], [1], [5], [6], [7], [10], and [9]. For simplicity we follow the rules: x, x0, r, p will be real numbers, n will be a natural number, Y will be a subset of , Z will be a real open subset, X will be a set, s1 will be a sequence of real numbers, and f , f1, f2 will be partial functions ...

Proof. Let A = k[s1, . . . , sn] where s1, . . . , sn ∈ A. We assume that A is not integral over k, in which case at least one of the si is not algebraic over k. If the set {s1, . . . , sn} is algebraically independent, then we are done. Otherwise assume that sn is algebraic over k[s1, . . . , sn−1] (by relabeling if necessary). Let f(x1, . . . , xn) be a nonzero polynomial with f(s1, . . . , s...

Among several subspecies of 30S subunits of Escherichia coli observed by polyacrylamide-agarose gel electrophoresis, only the slow-moving, protein S1-containing subspecies participates in the formation of the 30S initiation complex with coliphage MS2 RNA as mRNA; the other subspecies retain activity with AUG as mRNA; they are also active in the poly(U)-directed binding of Phe-tRNA. Protein S1 f...
