The gametogenesis and the embryogeny of Sesamum indicum L. were reported by Nohara (1934). He observed the embryo sac formation but did not completed the study up to the stage of the embryo. However,. Johansen (1950) states that the embryogeny of the Pedaliaceae probably follows the Onagrad type, judging from the inadequate illustrations accompanied by the rather meager accounts of the embryoge...

This paper proposes MUREX, a mutable replica control scheme, to keep one-copy equivalence for synchronous replication in structured P2P storage systems. For synchronous replication in P2P networks, it is proper to adopt crash-recovery as the fault model; that is, nodes are fail-stop and can recover and rejoin the system after synchronizing their state with other active nodes. In addition to the...
