Chamaecyparis nootkatensis is an ecologically and economically important conifer of the north Pacific coastal forests. To aid in studies of clonal structure and genetic differentiation of this and related species, we isolated and characterized microsatellites from C. nootkatensis. A microsatellite-enriched library yielded 75 repeat-containing sequences for which primer pairs were designed. Only...

this research was carried out in order to quantify throughfall (tf) and interception loss (i) and to compare the chemical composition of tf, i.e. lead (pb) and cadmium (cd) as well as electrical conductivity (ec) and ph beneath pinus eldarica and cupressus arizonica plantations and the open field rainfall. the research was accomplished in the chitgar forest park, a semi-arid polluted urban area...

Information about waste water from the manufacture offibreboard is given, and in this connection a classification of suspended and dissolved impurities occurring in the waste water of fibreboard mills is made. The influence on the concentration and the total amount of such impurities are discussed as a function of the extent of closing of the process wa ter system. Various methods of treatment ...

Rhythmic movements are often controlled by systems containing coupled subnetworks whose oscillations are of different frequencies. We show how fast inhibition from the pyloric network interacts with a slow modulatory input to control the frequency of the gastric mill rhythm of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion. We deduce that the timing of the pyloric input is crucial in determining what a...

this research was carried out in a reforest at shirvanagriculturecollegein two years (2005-2007). the aim of this research was to determine of canopy interception loss, throughfall and stemflow. four trees species were used including pinus nigra, cupressus sempervirens, robinia pseudacacia and platanus orientalis with three replications. the results showed that the amount of canopy interception...

The essential oil of leaves of various cupressus species Viz., C.glauca, C.funebris, C.lawsonia, C. macrocarpa & C. sempervirens have been studied for their antimicrobial activity against certain gram positive [B. substilis, S.aureus], gram negative [E.coli, P.aeruginesa] and fungi (A.niger, A.flavus, C.albicans & A. fumigatus) using two fold serial dilution technique. Our results revealed that...
