Create a diallel broccoli population to use in studying genetic combining ability of glucosinolate content as well as other horticultural traits, and cross a high glucoraphanin broccoli to a low one to form a parental hybrid from which to derive a segregating population.

Nanogel is a term used to describe any mixture of nano-sized particles or fibers with a gel, usually protein-based. They have the ability to cross into the cells of living organisms.

CONT

There has been interest in applying nanogels to drug delivery systems, such as protein delivery and gene delivery. In general, chemically cross-linked nanogels are synthesized by microemulsion polymerization or a crosslinking reaction of intra-associated polymer molecules. We develop tailor-made functional nanogels to create novel nanobiomaterials (nanogel engineering) by the self-assembly of functional associating polymers as building blocks. In particular, nanogels of cholesteryl group-bearing pullulan (CHP) selectively interact with proteins as a host and are useful as artificial molecular chaperone and drug carriers such as cancer immune therapy.

CONT

Los nanogeles [...] son partículas de dimensiones coloidales constituidas por una estructura polimérica entrecruzada física o químicamente que puede hincharse por absorción de grandes cantidades de disolvente, pero que no se disuelven debido a la estructura de la red que los constituye.

CONT

La sensibilidad a las condiciones del medio de los nanogeles es una propiedad muy ventajosa si se trata de aplicaciones relacionadas con la dosificación de fármacos ya que permite obtener una respuesta bajo condiciones de pH y temperatura biológicas.

An experiment on crossability of transgenic Indian Mustard (B. juncea) with other Brassica and related species found in India was carried out at Proagro-PGS India Ltd. Research Station, Badshahpur, Gurgaon in winter 1997-’98 to determine gene flow between transgenic Indian Mustard and other Brassica and related species found in India.

Tests and trials for ’AC Juniper’ were conducted at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Station in Lacombe, Alberta in 1994 and 1995. The trials consisted of four replicated plots per variety with each plot containing four rows. Plot length was three metres.

CONT

Combining ability for grain yield, yield components, and several agronomic and qualitative traits, was studied in a seven-parent diallel cross. The 21 F SUB 1 hybrids and the seven parental cultivars were grown in replicated plot trials sown at normal seed density in three locations in the years 1992 and 1993. The effects of general combining ability(gca) were highly significant for all the traits measured with the exception of seeds per spikelet, while the specific combining ability(sca) effects were statistically significant for grain yield, plant height, heading time, for all the yield components, and for the Chopin alveographic parameters P and P/L ratio/(From an abstract found in Dialog).

Consortium insurance is not a new program at Export and Development Corporation. Known previously as the Cross Consortium Insurance Program, the policy has been available, but largely unused, since 1978. In a round of consultations undertaken in early 1985, exporters revealed why they had not made use of the policy. Basically, they felt that EDC' s preoccupation with a consortium's recourseworthiness-or its ability to repay EDC in the event of a rightful call on a bond-meant that none but the strongest consortia had a chance to meet the criteria. In a major shift, EDC now places greater importance on the consortium's ability, as a whole, to perform the contract.

  • Vocabulaire général
CONT

L'ancien programme était assorti d'une police qui existait depuis 1978, mais qui n'a guère été utilisée. Lors de consultations menées au début de 1985, les exportateurs ont révélé pourquoi ils ne se sont pas prévalus de cette police. De fait, ils croyaient que la SEE insistait tellement sur la possibilité d'exercer un recours contre le consortium en cas d'appel justifié d'une caution, que seuls les consortiums les plus solides répondraient aux critères d'admissibilité de cette assurance. C'est pourquoi la SEE a nettement réorienté son programme et accorde maintenant plus d'importance à la capacité de l'ensemble du consortium d'exécuter le contrat.

... [A] multiple-task examination of spatial perception, discrimination of forms, manual or construction ability, motor coordination, and the ability to meet new situations. The test materials consist of ten sturdy blocks cut in the geometric forms of semi-circle, triangle, cross, elongated hexagon, oblong, circle, square, flatted oval, star and lozenge and a base with corresponding shapes cut into it. The child must place the blocks in the appropriate spaces on the formboard base. Two types of bases are available : one with raised geometric figures and one with flush geometric figures.
