Biological control agents (BCAs), and among them some species of fungal endophytes, are potential substitutes for chemical pesticides in the control of plant diseases due to their non-toxicity to human beings and their surrounding environment. One mode of action of fungal BCAs is through their bioactive, extracellular products, which can inhibit the growth of pathogens. In this study, the effec…
Abstrac t : This research focuses on the development of a set of two-dimensional boundary conditions for specific governing equations. The governing equations are existing Boussinesqtype equations which is capable of simulating wave-cmrent interaction. The present boundary conditions consist of for waves only case and for ctm:ents only case. To simulate wave-cmTent interaction, the two kinds of…
Background and Aims Micronutrient malnutrition, particularly zinc and iron deficiency, afflicts over three billion people worldwide due to low dietary intake. In the current study, wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides), the progenitor of domesticated wheat, was tested for (1) genetic diversity in grain nutrient concentrations, (2) associations among grain nutrients and their re…
The General Accounting Office (GAO) has been Congress’ long-serving auditor,issuing reports designed to improve the operations of government agencies and to enhance their cost effectiveness. In order to do this effectively, it must have unrestricted access to records. The GAO, in response to a request from two congressmen, sought access to records and names of attendees at an energy planning …
Abstract. Nitrogen-based adducts derived from methyltrioxorhenium(VII) and chiral aliphatic amines have been synthesized and applied to the efficient catalytic epoxidation of olefins with urea hydrogen peroxide complex as the primary oxidant. These complexes retain their catalytic activity when microencapsulated in polystyrene. A moderate steroinduction was obtained in the epoxidation of pr…
