The fertilizers costs are currently elevated, and it is necessary to evaluate complementary agronomic strategies. Biochar (BC) offers several potential benefits at a relatively low cost. research aimed was study the effect of application four different doses biochar (0, 4, 8, 16 t ha-1) fertilization levels (FL) (0%, 33%, 66% 100% nutritional requirements). We obtained BC from coffee (Coffea ar...

We present a device concept based on controlled micromagnetic configurations in a corner-shaped permalloy nanostructure terminated with two circular disks, specifically designed for the capture and detection of a small number of magnetic beads in suspension. A transverse head-to-head domain wall (TDW) placed at the corner of the structure plays the role of an attracting pole for magnetic beads....

In the present study, an attempt has been made to impart antimicrobial finishing on cotton woven fabric using nano silver solution, at various concentrations: 5 gpl, 10 gpl, 15 gpl, 20 gpl, and 25 gpl in the presence of PVOH (5 gpl, 7.5 gpl and 10 gpl) and an eco-friendly cross linking agent, namely 100gpl glyoxal/65 gpl Appretan N 92111 (binder) applied by the pad-dry-cure technique. Curing co...

The use of brackish waters is an alternative for the cultivation fruit-bearing plants in semi-arid regions; nonetheless, sweetsop trees (Annona squamosa L.) are sensitive to these types waters. However, phosphate fertilization can be a technique used mitigate harmful effects salinity. Thus, our objective was evaluate application phosphorus salinity irrigation water. experiment conducted randomi...

We present C-Sibelia, a highly accurate and easy-to-use software tool for comparing two closely related bacterial genomes, which can be presented as either finished sequences or fragmented assemblies. C-Sibelia takes as input two FASTA files and produces: (1) a VCF file containing all identified single nucleotide variations and indels; (2) an XMFA file containing alignment information. The soft...

There has been a general understanding that Mycobacterium smegmatis produces only apolar glycopeptidolipid (GPL), similar in structure to serovar non-specific GPL of Mycobacterium avium. In this study, synthesis of polar GPL in carbon-starved M. smegmatis is reported. Mass spectrometric analysis suggests the polar GPL to be a hyperglycosylated species. The earlier structural studies of polar GP...

Generalized Probabilistic Logic (GPL) is a temporal logic, based on the modal mu-calculus, for specifying properties of reactive probabilistic systems. GPL is expressive enough that termination of Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs) can be cast as a model checking problem over GPL. In this paper, we explore XPL, an extension to GPL for expressing properties of transition systems with probabilistic a...
