In a field experiment, the effect of enhanced UV-B radiation (simulating 20% ozone depletion at Allahabad, 20 degrees 47' N latitude) was studied on two cultivars of Vigna radiata L. with various levels of mineral nutrients (N and P). Study showed decrease in total biomass accumulation, harvest index, RSR and yield after exposure with enhanced level of UV-B. RGR and CGR also showed decline afte...

We introduce normal deleting automata with a restart operation (norm-DRA) and contextual grammars with regular selection (CGR). Both norm-DRA and CGR allow to describe syntax of (natural) languages as reduction systems. Some previously studied classes of contextual languages can be expressed using both norm-DRA and CGR. We give a hierarchy of some subclasses of norm-DRA and show the correspondi...

The aim of this study was to grow maize with quinoa plants as an alternative in intercropping system and determine the effects different plant mixtures on production. For purpose, a trial carried out coastal Aegean region (Aydın Province) Turkey under Mediterranean climate conditions. In addition 100% (monocultures), 3 (75% maize-25% quinoa, 50% maize-50% 25% maize-75% quinoa) were also created...

BACKGROUND Existing systems for grading severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) rely on a change of serum creatinine concentration over a defined time interval. The rate of change in serum creatinine increases by degree of reduction in glomerular filtration rate, but is mitigated by low creatinine generation rate (CGR). Failure to appreciate variation in CGR may lead to erroneous conclusions rega...

OBJECTIVE Newer generation left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are established for long-term support. The aim of this multi-modal intervention was to improve the body weight, exercise tolerance and psychosocial status in outpatients on long-term LVAD support. METHODS Seventy patients participated in this non-randomized intervention study [intervention group (IGr) n = 34; control group (CG...

To meet the demand of grain and fodder, dual purpose crops can be a good alternative that also reduce burden on land. A field study was carried out during two consecutive rabi seasons 2017–18 2018–19 research farm Agronomy, CCS HAU, Hisar, Haryana, to evaluate performance wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The experiment laid in split plot design with three replications. It comprised varieties (C 30...
