Natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) is a 70-kD heterodimeric cytokine that was initially isolated from conditioned medium of human B lymphoblastoid lines. The effects recombinant NKSF on the function peripheral blood NK cells were examined. directly augmented cytolytic activity freshly cells. Both CD56dim and CD56bright demonstrated enhanced cytotoxicity after brief exposure to NKSF. In contrast, highly purified T lymphocytes did not exhibit major histocompatibility...
This paper describes the physiological basis and validation of a generic legume model as it applies to 4 species: chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.), lucerne (Medicago sativa L.). For each species, key parameters were derived from literature our own experimentation. The was tested on an independent set experiments, predominantly tropics subtropics Australia, varying in cultivar, sowing date, water regime (irrigated or dryland),...
Virus particles resembling reoviruses or orbiviruses were found in the faeces of 40 73 patients under 6 years age with acute gastroenteritis and only two babies among 31 admitted to hospital other diagnoses. In morphology resemble more closely than reoviruses, but differ appearance from having a smooth, circular outline well marked continuous rim as seen negatively stained preparations. They appear not be serologically related reovirus types 1, 2, 3 may members new group.
SUMMARY Using farmer resource typologies, adaptability analysis and an on-farm mother baby trial approach, we evaluated the production risks of alternative maize-legume crop combinations for smallholder farmers in Chisepo, central Malawi between 1998 2002. Production benefits four soil fertility food legumes, pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan ), groundnut Arachis hypogaea tephrosia Tephrosia vogelii ) mucuna Mucuna pruriens intercropped or rotated with maize, were compared by 32 4 groups (RGs)...
Crop simulation models relevant to real-world agriculture have been a rationale for model development over many years. However, as crop are generally developed and tested against experimental data with large systematic gaps often reported between farmer yields, the relevance of simulated yields commercial field crops may be questioned. This is third paper in series which describes substantial effort deliver model-based decision support Australian farmers. First, performance cropping systems...
Improving the water-limited yield of dryland crops and farming systems has been an underpinning objective research within Australian grains industry since concept was defined in 1970s. Recent slowing productivity growth stimulated a search for new sources improvement, but few previous investments have targeted on national scale. In 2008, established 5-year, AU$17.6 million, Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Initiative, which challenged growers researchers to lift WUE grain-based production by 10%....
