The purpose of this study is to determine the socioeconomic
factors which influence the profitability and
adoption of new cropping patterns, and to recommend
suitable measures to enhance the crop diversification
program in Mahaweli System B, Sri Lanka. The adoption of
new cropping patterns is determined by a number of...
The main objective of this research was to assess the
nutritional status of sheep and goats grazing two rangeland
types in Baluchistan, Pakistan. These types were Artemisia
maritima/Haloxylon griffithii association represented by the
Zarchi Field Station and Cymbopogon shoenanthus, found at
the Tomagh Field Station. Seasonal above ground biomass
production...
Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein particles that are essential for
the process of protein synthesis in all living systems. Escherichia
coli, eubacterial organisms, have ribosomes which display a 70S
sedimentation coefficient. They are formed by the association of two
ribonucleoprotein subunits which sediment at 50S and 30S. The 30S
subunit is a...
The ribosome is a central component of the protein
synthetic apparatus. It is a macromolecular complex of
protein and RNA. Although much progress has been made in
understanding the functional role of the proteins in this
particle, little is known of the functional role which
the RNA plays. Naturally occurring...
Lattice bum-up calculations in thermal reactors are complicated by the necessity
for use of transport theory to represent fuel rods, control rods, and burnable absorbers,
by many time-dependent variables which must be considered in the analysis, and by
geometric complexity which introduces time-dependent, spatial-spectral variations.
Representation of lattice structure in...
