Enrichment of zeolite and sponge as ethylene absorbent with potassium permanganate was theidea of this study to provide an efficient way to scavenge ethylene during storage period ofthree Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Shiraz’, ‘Avalanche’, and ‘After-party’ cut flowers. A preliminaryexperiment revealed that two mL of potassium permanganate solution (1 mM) was enough toenrich two gra...

The hybrids between Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb. and L.cylindrica (L.) Roem. have strong heterosis effects. However, some reproductive isolation traits hindered their normal hybridization and fructification, which was mainly caused by the flowering time and hybrid pollen sterility. In order to study the genetic basis of two interspecific reproductive isolation traits, we constructed a genetic li...

In the present paper we prove a unique common fixed point theorem for four weakly compatible self maps in non Archimedean Menger Probabilistic Metric spaces without using the notion of continuity. Our result generalizes and extends the results of Amit Singh, R.C. Dimri and Sandeep Bhatt [A common fixed point theorem for weakly compatible mappings in non-Archimedean Menger PM-space, MATEMATIQKI ...

We describe two new species amongst the most common sponges living on the seabed (inter-reef) of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) collected during a multi-agency survey (GBR Seabed Biodiversity Project 2003–2006) of the shelf benthic biota using a trawl and dredge at 1254 sites. More than 1,200 sponge morphospecies (operational taxonomic units or OTUs) were recognised, many of which are potentially...

In this paper first we prove a common fixed point theorem in Menger probabilistic metric spaces. Then we present a nonlinear contraction case of Jungck’s common fixed point theorem in Menger probabilistic metric spaces. Finally, we prove a common fixed point theorem for six self-maps in a Menger probabilistic metric space. 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

background marine sponge/nano-cuo as a natural catalyst efficiently catalyzed the sulfonylation reaction of p-chlorobenzene sulfonyl chlorides with amines in order to prepare sulfonamides. the advantages included use of a natural catalyst, ease of handling, requirement of a very small amount of catalyst, mild reaction condition and appropriateness to high yield. objectives the current study aim...

One of the most difficult professions in history, sponge diving/fishing was widely practiced Mediterranean World 19th and 20th century by Turkish, Greek, Italian North African divers. Natural sea sponges are main materials profession which extends from here to America mid-20th century. Our earliest data indicate that sponge, is well known many ancient texts used times, especially cleaning, medi...

a down-flow hanging sponge (dhs) reactor has been developed for sewage treatment, mainly in developing countries. this novel reactor employs polyurethane sponge material as a support medium, which promises a proliferation of a large amount of biomass, offering excellent pollutant removal capability. three types of sponge medium were evaluated with respect to water distribution and oxygen mass t...
