A split-split-plot design with three replications in two years of 2009 and 2010 was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of irrigation water (main plot), salinity of irrigation water (sub-plot) and nitrogen fertilizer rate (sub-subplot) on maize growth rate and gas exchange. Irrigation treatments were I1 (1.0 crop evapotranspiration (ETc)+0.25ETc as leaching), I2 (0.75I1)...

The indole nucleus seems to be a promising basis for design and synthesis of new derivatives able to protect oxidative stress in a variety of acute and chronic pathologies. The paper presents an overview of indole derived compounds in which inhibitory action has been demonstrated against potent microbes and also tested for antioxidant activity. Cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species ...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.) an experiment was conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university using a split factorial based on randomized complete block design in four replications. the main factor was stopping irrigation ...

The electronic spectroscopy and photodissociation dynamics of the I3 radical are investigated with two experimental methods. The ground and several low-lying excited states of the I3 radical are characterized by photoelectron spectroscopy of I3 2 at 213 nm. Assignments of these states are discussed with reference to recent calculations. In addition, photodissociation of the I3 radical was inves...

We have previously derived seven requirements for the formulation of effective stain etchants and have demonstrated that Fe3+, Ce4+, and VO2+ + HF solutions are highly effective at producing nanocrystalline porous silicon. Here, we show that Cl2, Br2, I2, ClO3-, BrO3-, IO3-, I-, and I3- induce etching of silicon when added to HF. However, using the strict definition that a pore is deeper than i...

Hyperpolarization current (I(f)) is an important player in controlling heart rate and is stimulated by cAMP and inhibited by members of the pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein G(i)/G(o) family. We have successfully derived cardiocytes from embryonic stem cells lacking G(o) or G(i2) and G(i3). We have established that both basal and isoproterenol-stimulated activities of I(f) in these cardiocyte...

A stack is a last-in first-out sorting device with push and pop operations. Knuth [7] showed that a permutation π can be sorted (meaning that by applying push and pop operations to the sequence of entries π(1), . . . , π(n) we can output the sequence 1, . . . , n) if and only if π avoids the permutation 231, i.e., if and only if there do not exist three indices 1 ≤ i1 < i2 < i3 ≤ n such that π(...
