The potential for novel forage mixtures to address reduced herbage late season grazing was investigated. Forage legumes, sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) (SF) cvs. AC Mountainview, Shoshone, and Nova (MountainSF, ShoshoneSF, NovaSF), cicer milkvetch (Astragalus L.) cv. Veldt (CMV), Canadian canadensis Great Plains (CaMV), alfalfa (Medicago sativa Yellowhead (ALF) were evaluated in binary ...

In the conditions of global climate change and invasion new diseases pests, utilisation local gene pool is a vital step towards sustainable agriculture. Local cultivars forms are generally considered as better adapted to originating region than widely spread commercial bred elsewhere. order collect, study, preserve old fruit vine forms, series expeditions have been conducted throughout Bulgaria...

Acca sellowiana (Myrtaceae), feijoa (in Brazil, goiaba da serra), is a native southern South America tree that produces edible fruits which, although only occasionally cultivated in South America, became a significant fruit crop in New Zealand. Recently, during surveys for fungal pathogens of feijoa in southern Brazil, several plants were found bearing tar-spot symptoms caused by a species of P...

Introduction Various contemporary theories seeking to explain behavior in autism hypothesize that people with autism possess deficits in integrating contextual information in an appropriate manner. Problems integrating information is argued to result in a processing style which highlights the specific pieces of the environment at the cost of more general high-level information. This “piecemeal”...

Foldamer systems comprised of two perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes attached to the conjugated backbones of 1,2-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene and phenylethynyl-bis(phenylene)indane, respectively, were synthesized and investigated with regard to their solvent-dependent properties. UV/Vis absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectra show that both foldamers exist predominantly in a folded H-aggregated...

Bioactive imidazole derivative absorbs in the UV region at 305 nm. The interaction of imidazole derivative with nanoparticulate WO3, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, CuO, ZrO2 and Al2O3 has been studied by UV-visible absorption, FT-IR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The imidazole derivative adsorbs strongly on the surfaces of nanosemiconductor, the apparent binding constants for the association between nanomater...

This paper treats support vector machine (SVM) classification applied to block design fMRI, extending our previous work with linear discriminant analysis [LaConte, S., Anderson, J., Muley, S., Ashe, J., Frutiger, S., Rehm, K., Hansen, L.K., Yacoub, E., Hu, X., Rottenberg, D., Strother S., 2003a. The evaluation of preprocessing choices in single-subject BOLD fMRI using NPAIRS performance metrics...
