The growth and yield of plants are strongly influenced by the early ability plants. Similar germination good seed vigor will greatly support plant increase production. Increasing seeds can be done through biopriming. application biopriming using rhizobacteria is developing environmentally friendly agricultural technology. This study aimed to determine effect inoculation from north coast Pemalan...

Let S be a simply connected elliptic surface with at most two multiple fibers. In this paper, the second in a series of three, we are concerned with describing moduli spaces of stable vector bundles V over S such that the restriction of c1(V ) to a general fiber has the smallest possible nonzero degree, namely the product of the multiplicities, in the case where this product is even. We then ap...

In this document, we present proofs for Theorem 2 and 3 (given in the paper), and provide more explanation for the empirical evaluation. Further, we present a procedure for tramsforming weighted model counting (WMC) models to parfactor models. 1 PROOF OF THEOREM 2 Let us first recall the theorem. Theorem 2 C-FOVE is a complete domain-lifted algorithm for the class of models in which each atom h...

The Effect of Lone Motherhood on the Smoking Behaviour of Young Adults We provide evidence that living with an unmarried mother during childhood raises smoking propensities for young adults in Germany. JEL Classification: I10, J12, J18

The Vickers J12 cell counter uses an optical hydraulic counting system to perform rapid automatic counts of leucocytes and erythrocytes in liquid suspension. The effect of sample storage, the use of different diluents, variation in cell dimensions and other relevant factors have been studied. A counting accuracy of +/- 1.19% for replicate erythrocyte counts and +/- 2.94% for leucocyte counts wa...

Money doesn’t seem to make us happy for reasons of social comparison and habituation. But does that necessarily mean that we would be better off doing something else instead? This paper suggests that the phenomena of comparison and habituation are actually found in a variety of economic and social activities, rendering policy conclusions more difficult.

The ‘rational addiction’ model of cigarette smoking downplays the influence of social factors and biological dependency. This paper develops a simple model of these factors and presents some causality tests that indicate that nicotine content ‘causes’ smoking with the direction being negative. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
