Agriculture is a resource-intensive enterprise. The manner in which food production systems
utilize resources has a large influence on environmental quality. To evaluate prospects for …

We review here the methods by which a silyl group, incorporated into an organic structure,
has been used in organic synthesis to control stereochemistry, or has been an integral but …

Much of the recent work on the γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) shunt in plants has concentrated on
stress/pest-associated and signalling roles. However, fifty years after the structural …

Carbon dioxide exchange was quantified in maize–soybean agroecosystems employing
year-round tower eddy covariance flux systems and measurements of soil C stocks, CO 2 fluxes …

The self-assembly of monodisperse gold and silver colloid particles into monolayers on
polymer-coated substrates yields macroscopic surfaces that are highly active for surface-…

Background— Primary and secondary prevention trials suggest that statins possess favorable
effects independent of cholesterol reduction. We investigated whether statin therapy may …

… Moreover, organized two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) arrays of colloidal
… colloidal particles with diameters (d) ranging from 10 to 150 nm. Unfortunately, for d > 30 nm, …

Most mites are minuscule, barely perceptible to even the sharpest eyes, but size is a poor
guide to importance. When a crop disappears under a blanket of silk or stored food turns into a …

Background—Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels, an exquisitely sensitive
objective marker of inflammation, relate to long-term prognosis in patients with coronary artery …

… The parameter vector w can be written as a D×E matrix W with D being the input embedding
dimension and E being the output embedding dimension. This leads to the bi-linear form of …
