AN INTEGRATED GENETIC AND CYTOGENETIC MAP OF THE CUCUMBER GENOME.

An integrated genetic and cytogenetic map of the cucumber genome.

The Cucurbitaceae includes important crops such as cucumber, melon, watermelon, squash and pumpkin.However, few genetic and genomic resources are available for plant improvement.Some cucurbit species such as cucumber have a narrow genetic base, which impedes construction of saturated molecular linkage maps.We report herein the development of highly

Application of adjustment calculus in the nodeless Trefftz method for a problem of two-dimensional temperature field of the boiling liquid flowing in a minichannel

The paper presents application of the nodeless Trefftz method to calculate temperature of the heating foil and the insulating glass pane during continuous flow of a refrigerant along a vertical minichannel.Numerical computations refer to an experiment in which the refrigerant Coffee Mug (FC-72) enters under controlled pressure and temperature a rec

The passive safety system of a high-speed multiple-unit train

The designing of modern high-speed multiple-unit trains in Ukraine should be carried out accounting for passive safety systems (PSSs) which include energy absorption devices (EADs).In the cases of trains collisions with obstacles these systems must automatically work to increase the passenger transportation safety, to reduce the risk of injury and

Reactive distillation process using a solid-solid reaction for the separation of strontium from spent nuclear fuel

The separation of high-heat-generating isotopes of Sr from spent nuclear fuel is a significant research area in nuclear waste management.To separate Sr from spent nuclear fuel, the chlorination method using MgCl2 is known to be very effective.Then, the separated Sr must be oxidized for the solidification process, for example by oxidation using K2CO
