This study described the effects of elements (including Fe, Zn, Mn and their complexes) on the following factors in artificial morel cultivation: the characteristics of mycelia and sclerotia, soil bacterial community structures, yields and contents of microelements. The results indicated that the groups containing Mn significantly promoted mycelia growth rates, and all the experimental groups r...

In [NO88], a particular trace monoid M is constructed such that for the class of length–reducing trace rewriting systems over M , confluence is undecidable. In this paper, we show that this result holds for every trace monoid, which is neither free nor free commutative. Furthermore we will present a new criterion for trace rewriting systems that implies decidability of confluence.

We introduce a new canonical trace on odd class logarithmic pseudo-differential operators on an odd dimensional manifold, which vanishes on a commutators. When restricted to the algebra of odd class classical pseudo-differential operators our trace coincides with the canonical trace of Kontsevich and Vishik. Using the new trace we construct a new determinant of odd class classical elliptic pseu...

The power index of a square Boolean matrix A is the least integer d such that A is a linear combination of previous nonnegative powers of A. We determine the maximum power indices for the class of n × n primitive symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, the class of n × n irreducible nonprimitive symmetric Boolean matrices, and the class of n×n reducible symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zer...

Antarctic glacier forefields are extreme environments and pioneer sites for ecological succession. Increasing temperatures due to global warming lead to enhanced deglaciation processes in cold-affected habitats, and new terrain is becoming exposed to soil formation and microbial colonization. However, only little is known about the impact of environmental changes on microbial communities and ho...

This paper makes certain observations regarding some conjectures of Milnor and Ramakrishnan in hyperbolic geometry and algebraic K-theory. As a consequence of our observations, we obtain new results and conjectures regarding the rationality and irrationality of Chern-Simons invariants of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, by a hyperbolic 3-manifold, we shall mean a complete, oriented hyperb...
