Wild oat is a nuisance monocot weed mainly in cereal canopies. The increasing problem of herbicide resistance and the implementation integrated pest management includes use seed meals from species with allelopathic potential. This study aimed to assess efficacy as an environmentally friendly alternative for control herbicide-susceptible (S) -resistant (R) wild biotypes. A pot experiment was car...

A variant of ornithine aminotransferase (OAT, EC 2.6.1.13) has been detected in an offspring of a male mouse treated with ethylnitrosourea. The evidence presented to support the identification of the protein variant (ENU 2) as altered OAT includes (a) a corresponding 50% decrease in the abundance of a protein, located one charge unit basic to the variant, which comigrates on two-dimensional gel...

Pulmonary oat cell carcinoma was first described in 1926 and constitutes around 25% of lung malignancy.' Dugoid et al reported the first case of extrapulmonary oat cell carcinoma, without any bronchial involvement, in 1930.2 Primary extrapulmonary oat cell tumours have since been reported originating from different organs except the liver and the central nervous system. We report two cases ofpr...

A prototype system for automated assessment of biscuit bake has been developed. The system employs monochrome imaging and histogramming techniques to classify product samples as underbaked, correctly baked or overbaked. Two products have been investigated. Product \A" exhibits uneven browing due to the formation of blisters. An intensity histogram suitably characterises the overall browning and...

INTRODUCTION Ukraine's volatile HIV epidemic, one of the largest in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, remains concentrated in people who inject drugs (PWID). HIV prevalence is high (21.3% to 41.8%) among the estimated 310,000 PWID. Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) is the most cost-effective HIV prevention strategy there, yet OAT services are hampered by negative attitudes and frequent harassment of ...

The Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon was once thought to be extinct in the wild until seven birds were discovered in a remote mountain village in China in 1981. Studies suggested that winter-flooded rice fields play an essential role in nest site selection by the Crested Ibis and hence in their survival. Considerable efforts were therefore made to conserve the winter-flooded rice fields, but these ...

Abstract Extended grazing strategies have the potential to reduce beef winter-feeding costs. Beef producers can incorporate monoculture cereal crops in their winter swathgrazing programs, but recently, use of polycrops (also known as intercrops or cover crops) is growing. There little information about cattle body performance when forage blends during months. This study evaluated animal oat a p...

Tcl supports variable traces, which associate arbitrary scripts with variable reads, writes and unsets. We developed OAT (Object Attribute Traces), a protocol for extending traces to attributes of arbitrary Tcl “objects.” We wrote several OAT-based extensions including TkOAT, which provides traces on attributes of Tk widgets and canvas items. The OAT protocol and derived extensions bring the be...
