Effect of various NaCI treatments (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swollen, flowering and anthesis) of two wheat cultivars  on the kinetic activity and PAGE electrophoretic pattern of leaf malate dehydrogenase was studied under greenhouse conditions. Ghods was salt-sensitive and Boolani was salt-tolerant. In general, in response to salinti...

While todays orthography is very strict and seldom changes, this has not always been true. In historical texts spelling of words often not only varies from todays but in some periods even varies from use to use in a single text. Information retrieval on historical corpora can deal with these variations using fuzzy matching techniques based on Levenshtein-Distance using stochastic weights. In pa...

The Technical Lead needs to have a thorough understanding of the quality of the software and control over destabilising forces that can effect the delivery. Systems are large, the Lead cannot know everything and there is tendency for lots of small incremental changes to sum to large requirements. This paper presents set of three patterns and their relationships (Code Surfing, Core Sampling and ...

In todays IP networks most of the network control and management tasks are performed at the end points. As a result, many important network functions cannot be optimized due to lack of sufficient support from the network. The growing need for quality guaranteed services brought on suggestions to add more computational power to the network

This paper builds a two-country, two-sector (polluting, nonpolluting) trade model with directed technical change, examining whether unilateral environmental policies can ensure sustainable growth. The polluting good generates more or less emissions depending on its relative use of a clean and a dirty input. I show that a unilateral policy combining clean research subsidies and a trade tax can e...

The changing demands on the health sectors in low- and middle-income countries especially sub-Saharan African countries continue to challenge efforts to address critical shortages of the health workforce. Addressing these challenges have led to the evolution of “non-physician clinicians” (NPCs), that assume some physician roles and thus mitigate the continuing shortage of doctors in these count...

Todays FPGA technology allows reconngurable hardware to be integrated into standard PC hardware. With this kind of hardware it is possible to change hardware functionality on-they and to remove and insert complete subsystems just by rebooting the conngurable parts. Hardware like this has new demands on software that often can't be fulllled by the classical device driver concept used in todays o...

Climate change has altered and further will change the environmental conditions for many sectors. Whereas annual cropping systems can be adapted yearly, decisions in forest management usually have long-lasting effects. Depending on the region and tree species rotation periods range between 80 and 180 years in Central Europe. Therefore, todays tree species selection should also take into account...
