ISSN: 1573-0867Keywords: Nitrogen balance ; N loss ; urea ; nitrate ; leaching ; Oryza sativa L. ; upland riceSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Abstract Field experiments were conducted in the 1984 and 1985 wet seasons to determine the effect of N fertilizer application method on15N balances and yield for upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) on an Udic Arguistoll in the Philippines. The test cultivars were ‘IR43’ and ‘UPLRi-5’ in 1984 and ‘IR43’ in 1985. Unrecovered15N in15N balances for 70 kg applied urea-N ha−1, which represented N fertilizer losses as gases and movement below 0.5 m soil depth, ranged from 11–58% of the applied N. It was lowest (11–13%) for urea split applied at 30 days after seeding (DS) and at panicle initiation (PI), and highest (27–58%) for treatments receiving basal urea in the seed furrows. In all treatments with basal-applied urea, most N losses occurred before 50 DS. Heavy rainfall in 1985 before rice emergence resulted in large losses of native soil N and fertilizer N by leaching and possibly by denitrification. During the week of seeding, when rainfall was 492 mm, 91 kg nitrate-N ha−1 disappeared from the 0.3-m soil layer in unfertilized plots. Although rainfall following the basal N application was less in 1984 than in 1985, the losses from basal applied urea-N were comparable in the two years. Daily rainfall of 20–25 mm on 3 of the 6 days following basal N application in 1984 may have created a moist soil environment favorable for ammonia volatilization. In both years, highest grain yield was obtained for urea split-applied at 30 DS and at PI. Delayed rather than basal application of N reduced losses of fertilizer N and minimized uptake of fertilizer N by weeds.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

PGI2 produced a dose-dependent relaxation of coronary arteries from normal dogs. In contrast, those from diabetic animals were not relaxed; indeed, at low concentrations PGI2 failed to evoke any effect but at higher ones it induced a distinct contraction. In arteries from diabetic animals treated with insulin, PGI2 induced a biphasic contractile effect, which lay between that of normal controls and untreated diabetics. In addition the basal generation of ‘PGI2-like-material’ by coronary arteries was significantly higher in the diabetic (141±0.2 pg/mg, mean±SEM) than in normal dogs (59±0.2 pg/mg). The present experiments demonstrate that the generation of ‘PGI2-like-substance’ is significantly increased in coronary arteries from diabetic dogs, but the same vessels are unable to respond to added authentic PGI2 with relaxation; on the contrary they react with a distinct positive contractile response.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-041XKeywords: Key words Planarian ; Hox genes ; Regeneration ; RT-PCR ; ProgenesisSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract In recent years the characterization of Hox genes in different phyla has led to the suggestion of a universal role for these genes in animal axis determination. Some phyla, such as Platyhelminthes, have not yielded easily to such analysis, although a range of Hox genes have been shown to be present. In this report we present data concerning the relatively large number of Hox genes with a close similarity to representatives of annelids, supporting a phylogenetic clustering of Platyhelminthes within the spiralian protostomes. We also point out the permanent presence of Hox transcripts in adult planarians, with two classes distinguishable by their different patterns of axial expression: some are expressed uniformly, whilst a second group shows a nested expression with graded anterior expression boundaries. During posterior regeneration the nested Hox genes increase differentially depending on the level of sectioning, and then turn on gradually to recover the differential axial pattern of intact adults. These molecular results and others at the cellular level support the previous hypothesis that Platyhelminthes may have become simplified by progenesis.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-773XKeywords: functional equations ; functional networks ; learning ; neural networksSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Computer ScienceNotes: Abstract In this paper, a minimax method for learning functional networks is presented. The idea of the method is to minimize themaximum absolute error between predicted and observed values. In addition, the invertible functions appearing in the modelare assumed to be linear convex combinations of invertible functions. This guarantees the invertibilityof the resulting approximations. The learning method leads to a linear programming problem and then: (a) the solution isobtained in a finite number of iterations, and (b) the global optimum is attained. The method is illustrated withseveral examples of applications, including the Hénon and Lozi series. The results show that the method outperforms standard least squares direct methods.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Two bars also contained toasted amaranth with brown sugar cover and wheat extrudate, while two others, contained puffed instead of toasted amaranth. Water activity (Aw) and moisture were determined in the manufactured products. Quality and sensory evaluation and proximate analysis were carried out on the bars containing highest levels of walnuts (18%). The caloric contribution of the bars was computed by Atwater methods. The nutritional quality of the bars was determined by means of the Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Net Protein Ratio (NPR), and the results were used to obtain relative PER and relative NPR. Samples of the latter bars were kept under accelerated storage for 15 days at 37 °C and analyzed every 5 days to determine their Aw, moisture, peroxide and sensory acceptability. The drying time for the cereal — and walnut — based bars was 45 min at 120 °C. All bars presented a good fiber supply and the CN1 bar, containing only oat, wheat germ and walnut, had the greatest protein content. In the sensory evaluation, the walnut level with the greatest preference was 18%. PER and NPR values of the bars did not differ significantly showing values approximately 86% that of the casein value. During storage, the moisture and Aw decreased in all the bars. Peroxides remained within the acceptable ranges; acceptability based on sensory evaluation remained best in the bar with toasted amaranth. Walnuts can successfully be used in the manufacture of snack bars as these offer good nutritional and sensory quality and remain stable in storage.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

In two dry-season and one wet-season field experiment, shoot N of various genotypes at flowering were highly correlated (P〈0.05) with CLAT, the product of SPAD reading from a selected leaf (C), area of that leaf (LA), and number of tillers (T) (r2=0.46, 0.90, and 0.85 in Exp. 1, 2, and 3, respectively); and with LAT, the product of LA and T (r2=0.56, 0.88, and 0.76). Shoot N may be estimated using LAT for larger differences in leaf area compared with SPAD readings. Lower correlations in Exp. 1 were due to the lower range in shoot N contents. The highest correlation between shoot N and CLAT was observed in the third uppermost leaf. Regressions of shoot N on LAT and CLAT varied across growth stages and seasons. Thus, LAT or CLAT can be used to evaluate N uptake among N fertilizer treatments and different rice genotypes at a given stage within a season. Further work is needed to assess the reliability of this method under different seasons and cultural practices.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-5036Keywords: 15N, N loss ; nitrate, nitrogen balance ; Oryza sativa L. ; urea ; water deficitSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Abstract Erratic rainfall in rainfed lowlands and inadequate water supply in irrigated lowlands can results in alternate soil drying and flooding during a rice (Oryza sativa L.) cropping period. Effects of alternate soil drying and flooding on N loss by nitrification-denitrification have been inconsistent in previous field research. To determine the effects of water deficit and urea timing on soil NO3 and NH4, floodwater NO3, and N loss from added 15N-labeled urea, a field experiment was conducted for 2 yr on an Andaqueptic Haplaquoll in the Philippines. Water regimes were continuously flooded, not irrigated from 15 to 35 d after transplanting (DT), or not irrigated from 41 to 63 DT. The nitrogen treatments in factorial combination with water regimes were no applied N and 80 kg urea-N ha−1, either applied half basally and half at 37 DT or half at 11 DT and half at 65 DT. Water deficit at 15 to 35 DT and 41 to 63 DT, compared with continuous soil flooding, significantly reduced extractable NH4 in the top 30-cm soil layer and resulted in significant but small (〈1.0 kg N ha−1) soil NO3 accumulations. Soil NO3, which accumulated during the water deficit, rapidly disappeared after reflooding. Water deficit at 15 to 35 DT, unlike that at 41 to 63 DT, increased the gaseous loss of added urea N as determined from unrecovered 15N in 15N balances. The results indicate that application of urea to young rice in saturated or flooded soil results in large, rapid losses of N (mean = 35% of applied N), presumably by NH3 volatilization. Subsequent soil drying and flooding during the vegetative growth phase can result in additional N loss (mean = 14% of applied N), presumably by nitrification-denitrification. This additional N loss due to soil drying and flooding decreases with increasing crop age, apparently because of increased competition by rice with soil microorganisms for NH4 and NO3.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
