Fungi associated with sugar beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schmidt) in W. Azerbaijan were isolated from different stages during 2002-2004 and studied. Some 300 fungal isolates were obtained. In this paper, 16 species belonging to nine genera are identified. Among them, three species viz. Lecanicillium aphanocladii, Myrothecium verrucaria andPlectosporium tabacinum are as new records t...

During a study on wood inhabiting fungi in Guilan province, several specimens of the Hypoxylon and Annulohypoxylon, were examined. A total of eight taxa viz.

Five species of clitocyboid fungi belonging to genus Clitocybe viz. ‍C. geotropa, C. houghtonii, ‍C. infundibuliformis,C. rufuloalutacea and C. trulliformisare reported from Iranian part of Caucasia. The reported fungi are new records for Iran.

Fungicides viz., Benomyl, TopsinM, Carbendazim and Cuprocaffro were used at different concentrations i.e., 0, 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000 ppm a.i. to evaluate Trichoderma species viz. T. harzianum, T. pseudokoningii, T. longibrachiatum, T. viride for tolerance to fungicides. Topsin-M and Carbendazim were the most effective fungicides that inhibit the growth of Trichoderma species even at low co...

Ethanol extract of leaves of Clerodendron phlomoidis L. subjected to preliminary qualitative phytochemical investigations showed the presence of alkaloids, phytosterols, glycosides, saponins, phenolic compounds, proteins and flavonoids. The extract was screened for hypoglycemic activity in alloxan-induced diabetic rats (120 mg/kg, i.p.) at two dose levels, viz., 100 and 200 mg/kg. The ethanol e...

Instance-Spanning Constraints (ISCs) have raised attention just recently although they are omnipresent in practice to define conditions across multiple instances or processes, e.g., bundling of cargo. It would be crucial to convey ISC information on, e.g., shared instance resources to users. However, no approach for visualizing ISCs has been presented yet. To overcome this gap we analysed liter...

In recent years, a number of authors have started studying Aristotelian diagrams containing metalogical notions, such as tautology, contradiction, satisfiability, contingency, strong and weak interpretations of (sub)contrariety, etc. The present paper is a contribution to this line of research, and its main aims are both to extend and to deepen our understanding of metalogical diagrams. As for ...

Description of planning domains and problems is the first critical task when using planning technology. It naturally belongs to the area of Knowledge Engineering as it involves knowledge extraction (from the user) and schematic formulation of problems. To make the task more comprehensive for non-experts in planning we propose to use graphical representation for planning domains. This method has...
