The performance of three different rootstock (Adara (Prunus cerasifera L.), SL 64 (Prunus mahaleb), and Colt (Prunus avium x Prunus pseudocerasus)) as nutrient suppliers has been studied for sweet cherry cultivars (Prunus avium L.). The results obtained suggested that, depending on the rootstock, the trees are submitted to different degrees of stress. According to the data obtained, it could be...

Interdiffusion in multi-phase diffusion couples of polycrystalline Ti and polysynthetically twinned (PST) Ti-49.3 at.% Al, with the diffusion direction parallel to the lamellar planes, is investigated in the temperature range 973 – 1173 K. A reaction zone (RZ) of the α2-Ti3Al phase forms between the end materials and exhibits deeper penetration in the α2 lamellae than in the primary γ lamellae....

BACKGROUND In 2000, results of a multinational trial demonstrated that a 2-month course of rifampin and pyrazinamide (RZ) was as effective as isoniazid (INH) in reducing tuberculosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). After the release of new guidelines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received reports of severe h...

This study was carried out to evaluation of the effects on pruning weight (kg plant-1), cumulative per plant and hectare ha-1) 3 quince rootstocks [Quince BA29 (BA29), Quince A (QA), C (MC)] pear clonal (Fox11, OHxF333, Farold 40) seedling grafted with 4 standard cultivars (‘Abate Fetel’, ‘Deveci’, ‘Santa Maria’, ‘Williams’) between 2019-2021 years.

The cultivar and rootstock effect on iron chlorosis were studied. The results revealed significant differences among peach cultivars and rootstocks in mineral content. Seasonal changes were also found in the macroand micronutrient content of leaves of peach cultivars and rootstocks. The rootstock St. Julien 655/2 was found to be efficient in K, P, Zn, Fe, Cu absorption and better than seedling ...

We propose a novel approach for all-optical return-to-zero (RZ) to non-return-to-zero (NRZ) telecommunication data format conversion based on linear spectral phase manipulation of an RZ data signal. The operation principle is numerically analyzed and experimentally validated through successful format conversion of a 640 Gbit/s coherent RZ signal into the equivalent NRZ time-domain data using a ...

BACKGROUND 12-Lipoxygenase (12-LO) products of arachidonate metabolism have growth and chemotactic effects in vascular smooth muscle cells. We have also recently demonstrated increased 12-LO mRNA and protein expression in the neointima of balloon-injured rat carotid arteries. In this study, we evaluated whether 12-LO activation plays a role in neointimal thickening in this rat model by using a ...

We have previously characterized a tobacco cDNA encoding a novel type RNA-binding protein (RZ-1), which contains a zinc finger motif in addition to a consensus sequence-type RNA-binding domain and is localized in the nucleus. Here we isolated its genomic clone from a Nicotiana sylvestris genomic library. Southern blot analysis suggested that RZ-1 is coded for by a single locus per haploid genom...
