Thirty-seven warm-season bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) accessions, two cool-season grasses (Lolium perenne and Festuca arundinacea), 'Transvala' digitgrass (Digitaria decumbens), and Sorghum bicolor were evaluated to determine host suitability and susceptibility to the sting nematode, B. longicaudatus, in a 140-day microcell bioassay. All seven of the evaluated commercial cultivars of Cynodon wer...

The objective of this study was to verify and compare the P availability in an Oxisol cultivated with Megathyrsus maximus cv BRS-Zuri Urochloa decumbens Basilisk predict best soil extractor pastures Southern Amazonia. Two experiments were carried out, one grass other Signal grass. experimental design randomized blocks five doses P2O5 based on maximum capacity adsorption (MCAP), corresponding 0,...

This is the first report on using Catathelasma ventricosum for production of fruiting body and lignocellulosic enzymes. To improve the laccase activity and productivity of mushroom, the substrate was added with different supplements (eight aromatic compounds, Mn2+, and Cu2+). Based on the results, all these supplements can improve the laccase activity and productivity of C. ventricosum, and it ...

The present study aims to determine the hematology, serum biochemistry, and acute phase proteins (APPs) responses of both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in sheep fed with low high levels Brachiaria decumbens (B. decumbens) diets at different time phases. A total 30 6-month-old male Dorper cross were randomly divided into three treatment groups consisted 10 each. Treatment 1 (control) Pennisetum purp...

BACKGROUND Hollow earmolds have become a popular type of earmold used in thin-tube, microsize hearing aid fittings. It is desirable for clinicians to be familiar with their characteristics and limitations. PURPOSE This investigation compared the effects of vent diameter between a traditional solid earmold and a hollow earmold that is used in modern thin-tube hearing aid fittings. RESEARCH D...

Influence of a vent hood at the exit of exhaust flue gas and flue baffles in the firetube on the temperature and flow fields of a gas tank water heater, as well as thestructure and amount of heat transferred to the water tank has been studiednumerically using two-dimensional steady state finite element simulation.Observations show that without a vent hood, there is a downward gas flow in theflu...

There are still notable gaps regarding the detailed distribution of microorganisms between and within insular habitats such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents. This study investigates the community composition of black smoker vent microorganisms in the Southern Hemisphere, and changes thereof along a spatial and chemical gradient ranging from the vent plume to surrounding waters. We sampled two hyd...

Many investigations have recently been performed on return vent height and indicate that having 1.3 m distance from the floor is the optimized height for it. In this article, the effect of distance between opening diffuser and return vent on air quality, thermal comfort and energy saving was investigated. According to the results, by increasing the distance between opening and return vent up to...

In the present study seed-born fungi in choy sum (Brassica Chinensis Var. Parchinensis) was detected through a near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy–based nondestructive technique. Four common species of seed-borne namely, Penicillium decumbens, namyslowskii, Lichtheimia corymbifera, and Aspergillus niger were found to grow southern China. A novel finding that P. decumbens had greatest inhibit...
