Of great benefit, but not limited to seafloor mineral
exploration, is a technique that fairly rapidly determines the
composition of a drilled vibracore (in a time comparable to the time
involved in obtaining the core). The rapid assessment is desired to
predict whether a given region warrants further exploration by...
It is a widely accepted premise of industrial management that an
interruption in the performance of a task will be accompanied by a
decrease in operator skill level upon resuming performance of the
task. Moreover, it has been generally assumed that this loss of
skill is related to several factors...
The toxicity of aluminum (Al) to wheat (Triticum aestivum
Host) was studied under controlled conditions using a technique
designed to evaluate the recovery of root growth following a relatively
brief (48 hour) exposure to nutrient solutions containing
Al, When wheat seedlings were exposed to a minimum critical
concentration of Al,...
Characterization and biological roles of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) isotypes are well known in monogastrics, but not in ruminants. However, a wealth of information has accumulated in little more than a decade on ruminant PPARs including isotype tissue distribution, response to synthetic and natural agonists, gene targets, and factors...
This paper is an analysis of the political theology articulated by Shia clerics and the political parties they were affiliated with between 1958-1979 with specific attention paid to Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr and the Islamic Da’wa Party. It begins by tracing the development of Shia clerical political activism under the...
Background: The uneven distribution of recombination across the length of chromosomes results in inaccurate estimates of genetic to physical distances. In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosome 3B, it has been estimated that 90% of the cross over events occur in distal sub-telomeric regions representing 40% of the chromosome. Radiation hybrid...
