abstract in order to determine the time of maximum demand of winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) to phosphorous fertilizers and p and zinc (zn) distribution in different parts of wheat at various growth stages and study their relation to the contents of these elements in soil p and zn under field conditions, samples were collected from different parts of the plants at seven growth stages (i.e.,...

introduction: use of unbalanced chemical fertilizers especially p, having low absorption efficiency and low solubility compounds with soil components, has resulted in the production and use of bio-fertilizers (17, 23 and 29). bio-fertilizer is a preservative material consisting of one or several specific beneficial micro-organisms or their metabolic products used to supply plant nutrients and d...

The beta-phaseolin (phas) gene, which encodes one of the major seed storage proteins of P. vulgaris, is tightly regulated at the transcription level resulting in strict tissue-specific and spatial expression during embryonic development. The phas proximal promoter contains a complex arrangement of core promoter elements including three TATA boxes as well as several putative initiator elements. ...

The fact that the psp54 gene codes for p16, a seed chromatin protein of Pisum sativum, has been described previously. In the present paper it is shown that p54, the p16 precursor, also exists as a free polypeptide in pea and that it also yields p38, a second polypeptide from the N-terminal region of p54, which is co-localized at a subcellular level with p16. By using antibodies against pea p16 ...

We present a new hash-function-based pseudorandom generator (PRG). Our PRG is reminiscent of the classical constructions iterating a function on a random seed and extracting Goldreich-Levin hardcore bits at each iteration step. The latest PRG of this type that relies on reasonable assumptions (regularity and one-wayness) is due to Haitner et al. In addition to a regular one-way function, each i...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are efficient search methods based on the paradigm of natural selection and population genetics. A simple GA was applied for selecting the optimal feature subset among an initial feature set of larger size. The performances were tested on a practical pattern recognition problem, which consisted on the discrimination between four seed species (two cultivated and two adve...

Prostate brachytherapy, administered by implanting tiny radioactive seeds to treat prostate cancer, currently relies on transrectal ultrasound imaging for intraoperative visualization of the metallic seeds. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has been suggested as a feasible alternative to ultrasound imaging due to its superior sensitivity to metal surrounded by tissue. However, PA images suffer from po...
