The two most economically important plant-parasitic nematodes infesting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in the United States are the root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita) and the reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) nematode. The common means of managing these pests is use of in-furrow or seed-treatment nematicides, or by rotation with non-host crops or resistant cultivars of crops grown in rotation. Un...

Aim: To elucidate clinical features in patients with type 2 diabetes with advanced retinopathy but without nephropathy. Methods: This study examined 1324 patients (784 males and 540 females) with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetic retinopathy was graded according to the International Clinical Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy as no diabetic retinopathy, mild or moderate non-proliferative d...

The urinary progestogen metabolites included in our profiles encompass the primary urinary metabolite, pregnanediol (Pgdiol), and four other more minor metabolites that belong to the pregnane (Allopregnanolone, Allo-pregnanediol) and pregnene (3α-dihydroprogesterone, 20α-dihydroprogesterone) categories. In postmenopausal women the level of pregnanediol is expected to be much lower than in preme...

We have carried out additional spectroscopic observations in the field of cluster Cl 1324+3011 at z = 0.76. Combined with the spectroscopy presented in Postman, Lubin & Oke (2001, AJ, 122, 1125), we now have spectroscopically confirmed 47 cluster members. With this significant number of redshifts, we measure accurately the cluster velocity dispersion to be 1016 −93 km s −1. The distribution of ...

Abstract Immanants are functions on square matrices generalizing the determinant and permanent. Kazhdan–Lusztig immanants, which indexed by permutations, involve $q=1$ specializations of Type A polynomials, were defined Rhoades Skandera (2006, Journal Algebra 304, 793–811). Using results Haiman (1993, American Mathematical Society 6, 569–595) Stembridge (1991, Bulletin London 23, 422–428), show...
