BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role to achieve sustainable agriculture. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assess response of agrophysiological traits of wheat to apply different level of fertilizer and biologic fertilizer (Phosphorus and Nitrogen). METHODS: This research was carried out via factorial e...

Given a triple T on a complete category C and a factorization system E /M on the category of algebras, we show there is a 1-1 correspondence between full subcategories of the category of algebras that are closed under U -split epimorphisms, products, and M -subobjects and triple morphisms T S for which the induced natural transformation between free functors belongs to E .

The intersection of two Steiner triple systems (X,A) and (X,B) is the set A ∩ B. The fine intersection problem for Steiner triple systems is to determine for each v, the set I(v), consisting of all possible pairs (m,n) such that there exist two Steiner triple systems of order v whose intersection I satisfies | ∪A∈I A| = m and |I| = n. We show that for v ≡ 1 or 3 (mod 6), |I(v)| = Θ(v3), where p...

The equilibrium geometries, thermochemistry, and vibrational frequencies of the homoleptic binuclear rhenium carbonyls Re2(CO)n (n = 10, 9, 8, 7) were determined using the MPW1PW91 and BP86 methods from density functional theory (DFT) with the effective core potential basis sets LANL2DZ and SDD. In all cases triplet structures for Re2(CO)n were found to be unfavorable energetically relative to ...

β-Diketiminato cyclopentadienyl and ferrocenylethynyl germylenes LGeR (L = HC[C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3]2, R = Cp () and C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CFc ()) were prepared and utilized to synthesize the Ge[double bond, length as m-dash]Te bond species. Reactions of , , and LGeC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh () with an excess of Te powder proceeded in toluene under reflux successfully yielded g...

We present a new proximity control bundle algorithm to minimize nonsmooth and nonconvex locally Lipschitz functions. In contrast with the traditional oracle-based methods in nonsmooth programming, our method is model-based and can accommodate cases where several Clarke subgradients can be computed at reasonable cost. We propose a new way to manage the proximity control parameter, which allows u...

Reaction of AlCl(3) with the monoanionic α-diimine ligand [NaL] yielded the complex [L˙(-)Al(III)Cl(2)(-)] (1, L = [(2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3))NC(Me)](2)), and subsequent reduction of by sodium metal afforded the mononuclear [L(2-)Al(III)Cl(-)(THF)] (2) and binuclear [L(2-)(THF)Al(II)-Al(II)(THF)L(2-)] (3). Compounds 2 and 3 exhibit interesting reactivities to sodium alkynides at room temperature. Tre...

We present a study of the rotation measure (RM) obtained from a sample of extra-galactic radio sources either embedded in or seen in projection through a sample of seven southern galaxy clusters (δ ≤ 30◦). We compare our results with those obtained previously through similar statistical studies and conclude there is a statistically significant broadening of the RM signal in galaxy clusters when...

A major challenge in breast cancer therapy is the lack of an effective therapeutic option for a particularly aggressive subtype of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer. Here we provide the first preclinical evidence that a second-generation selenium compound, methylseleninic acid, significantly enhances the anticancer efficacy of paclitaxel in triple-negative breast cancer. Through comb...
