The antagonistic activity of three bacterial isolates namely Microbacterium terregens, Cellulosimicrobium cellulans and Bacillus amylollquefaciens was evaluated through direct confrontation method and filtrates culture against the growth of Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthra cactorum. All bacterial isolates showed the inhibition of the mycelia growth of the ...

I briefly review the nonrelativistic QCD picture of quarkonium production and its confrontation with experiment in various production processes.

Existing pursuer-evader (PE) game algorithms do not provide good real-time solutions for situations with the following complexities: (1) multi-pursuer multi-evader, (2) multiple evaders with superior control resources such as higher speeds, and (3) jamming confrontation between pursuers and evaders. This paper introduces a real-time decentralized approach, in which decentralization strategy red...

After the Supreme Court's ruling in Crawford v. Washington that a criminal defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him is violated by the admission of testimonial hearsay that has not been cross-examined, lower courts have overturned convictions in which hearsay from children was admitted after child witnesses were either unwilling or unable to testify. A review of social scientific...

The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analysing them are reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eötvös experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment. Future tests of EEP and of the inverse square law will search for new interactions arising from unificat...

THIS campimeter has been designed to provide a simple method of measuring the approximate extent of the field of vision as now required by the standard of visual deficiency set up by the Department of Health in Scotland (and recommended for adoption in England) in connection with the administration of the Blind Persons' Act (1920).' It affords a means of estimating the field for hand movements ...

Confronting scholarly viewpoints is as old as science itself. And never the amount of published scholarly knowledge has been quite as huge as nowadays. This fast growth can eventually overwhelm the capacity of the scholars using them as a support for creativity, by diluting their ability to link their subject of research with other works. In our work, we study the concept of ontology matching, ...

most of the time, groups/communities are involved in negotiations and disputations due to their various interests. they are always trying to pursuit their aspiration to embrace changes and influence on events. although sometimes these groups are not completely opposed to each other and their intention is just to get the desired results, almost always their conditions are in contrast with each o...

Keeping in mind the increased pain complaints reported in anxious or depressive patients, our goal was to investigate in rats the consequences of an experimentally provoked state of anxiety/depression on pain behavior and on its underlying mechanisms. We therefore used a model of social defeat consisting of a 30 min protected confrontation followed by a 15 min physical confrontation, repeated d...
