Fix a prime p. For nonnegative integers a, b, and d, we seek a formula for the number of subgroups of order pd in Z/paZ× Z/pbZ. Set Na,b,d = #{H ⊂ Z/pZ× Z/pZ : #H = p}. This is symmetric in a and b (Na,b,d = Nb,a,d), so when it is convenient we can limit attention to the case a ≤ b. Trivially Na,b,d = 0 if d > a + b, so we may assume 0 ≤ d ≤ a + b. For 1 ≤ a ≤ b, and a + b ≥ d, we will see that...

This study investigated the degradation characteristics of propylbenzenes (PBZs, including isopropylbenzene and n-propylbenzene), with high leakage risks ecological hazards, by a newly isolated marine microalga named Rhinomonas reticulata S6A which is promising candidate for eco-friendly bioremediation from marine. About 72% 56% n-PBZ i-PBZ can be degraded after 7 days in culture. The acute tox...

Plant height of sunflower is a major agronomic trait affecting crop performance in the field and its adaptation to mechanical harvest. Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of foliar application of paclobutrazol (PBZ) at 12.5 g ai/ha, mepiquat chloride (MPC) at 25.0 g ai/ha and chlormequat chloride (CCC) at 1,500 g ai/ha in single or double applications on sunflower plant mor...

Amphibole asbestos (AA) has been detected on the surface of tree bark in forests neighboring an abandoned vermiculite mine near Libby, Montana. In the present study, simulations were performed to assess potential AA exposure associated with United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service (FS) occupational activities. Bark samples were collected prior, and personal breathing zone (PBZ) an...

pruning of the plant canopy and paclobutrazol application to the root zone are agronomic practices that improve harvest yield in mango (mangifera indica l.) orchards. to assess the effect of pruning and paclobutrazol treatment on the vegetative and reproductive development of ‘ataulfo’ mango, three pruning dates (20 april, 20 may, and 20 june) and three concentrations of paclobutrazol (pbz) (7....

1. The pharmacological characteristics of adrenoceptors at different temperatures were assessed on the basis of the effects of various alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on electrically-driven left atria and spontaneously-beating pairs of atria from rats. 2. Phenoxybenzamine (Pbz) potentiated inotropic responses of left atria to noradrenaline (NA) at 31 degrees C, produced si...

In order to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators on sex determination and yield, an experiment was conducted by spraying different hormonal combinations on medicinal pumpkin. Experimental treatments were included different concentrations of NAA (25, 75, 100, 125 mg/l), paclobutrazol (50, 100, 200 and 300 mg/l) and combination of growth regulators (NAA 25 mg/l + PBZ 50 mg/l), (NAA 75 m...

(In the 3rd of April 2008) and in the morning of (16 April 2008), the temperature reached - 6 ο C in some pistachio gardens of Kerman County especially in Sirjan. The coldness was so high that affected not only on the open flowers but also on bud endings and lop growth, So that the next year product was endangered, as well. In order to study the effect of some treatments and decrease the damage...
