A study of the distribution of spectral types of Solar Type Stars (STS) in the revised MKJ and MSS classifications is made on 3919 F8-K3 HD spectral-type stars brighter than mv=10. By means of the solar color indices U-B and B-V 697 STS were selected. The spectral types G3V and G5V have the highest percentages in MSS and MKJ, respectively, confirming statistically the results published by Keenan and Pitts (1980) and by Hardorp (1982). The distribution of the color indices U-B and B-V in the revised G2V spectral type shows that these are good selection criteria for STS and are in the range 0.06 ≤ U-B ≤ 0.10 and 0.58 ≤ B-V ≤ 0.65.

AbstractThe resistance to phylloxera is one of the most important properties of grapevine rootstock. The breeding and selection of rootstock varieties represents a biological method of fight against phylloxera. In this study altogether 59 rootstock hybrids originating from nine different populations were evaluated. Pedigrees of all populations involved Vitis cinerea Arnold introduced through the hybrid Bruci/(Vitis berlandieri Planch. × Vitis rupestris Scheele) × Vitis cinerea Arnold/ and the variety Börner. Pot experiments were performed in a glasshouse while those with excised root pieces in root bioassay took place in a laboratory. This combination showed to be a very good selection tool for rootstock breeding. In seven rootstock hybrids, it was found that the resistance to phylloxera gallicoles and radicicoles was very high. The highest number of resistant hybrids was found in Binova × Börner. The variety Börner showed to be the best gene source of phylloxera resistance and even in case of a simple crossing produced sufficient number of resistant progeny.


The Associated Electrical Industries Ltd. comprises a group of independent companies concerned with the manufacture of prime movers, generators, power-transmission equipment and practically every kind of electricity-consuming device. The two largest of the group of companies are the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co. Ltd. at Trafford Park, Manchester, and the British Thomson-Houston Co. Ltd. at Rugby. While there are research facilities in each of the companies of the group, research has until recently been concentrated very largely in the laboratories of the two main companies, the laboratories being separate autonomous bodies independently directed. Both these laboratories have been developed since World War I and both played no insignificant part in the last war. Accounts of each are being presented by Mr Churcher and Mr Davies. I should like to make brief mention of one matter about which there is frequent misunderstanding. It is often said that industry takes the best men from the universities, but my experience has shown that this traffic is in fact two-way. It is true that our companies take hundreds of young graduate engineers from universities all over the world, and of these a good selection is recruited to the research departments; but from our laboratories have also gone very many trained scientists into a large number of university positions, over a score into professorial chairs and senior positions throughout the government scientific services. It is my profound conviction that this flow in both directions is most desirable and should be encouraged as much as possible.

Considering the recognition performance obtained by an implanted patient, the authors have developed models to explain the decrease in performance when the number of open channels on the prosthesis is increased. The French cochlear implant Chorimac was used in this experiment. Two models have been developed. The first is monodimensional and the second is multidimensional. They respectively represent an increase in information and its superposition. Results suggest that for the patient, the superposition factor prevails and is detrimental to recognition. Its elimination should be a major goal. A good selection of electrodes in a relatively small number seems to be the best policy. This is already done in some cochlear implants. Some other parameters in the signal that seem worth being analyzed are introduced.

The growth, development, selection structure, and condition of Turkish hazelnut in the plantations of the parks of the Kharkiv National Agrarian University were studied in conditions of Kharkiv region. The article analyzes the growth of 22 to 40 years old Turkish hazelnut trees by height and diameter on five sites. In all cases, the hazelnut trees considerably exceeded the oaks by diameter and were slightly behind by the height. The Turkish hazelnut stands had a good selection structure and condition. An integrated approach to assessing the selection value of stands was used. Three of the five observed stands were found to be perspective by a combination of characteristics, i. e. suitable for the forest planting, protective stands creation, and landscaping. In all the surveyed plots, the trees produced viable seeds and seedlings and had a high degree of acclimatization in the Kharkov region.

Hiring teachers in the secondary education system is a critical moment. The image of the school and the calm and positive environment for teamwork depend on the good procedure and the preparation of a team for the implementation of this procedure. While most companies have a human resources department that only deals with this, in schools this is not an option. At the same time, the overall activity at the school depends on the good selection. The article discusses the main problems in this process and gives models that have been implemented by the author in his many years of practice. This process, with the serious decline of trained pedagogical specialists, becomes even more critical, and it is good to have a system for selection and implementation.

IN THE MOOD FOR FILMS: BANGKOK INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2001 The prospect of watching a good selection of indie films from more than 20 countries and the best of Thai shorts in competition should be attractive enough for most film buffs but the 4th Bangkok Film Festival (15th-25th November 2001) also promised the presence of the legendary director Wong Kar-wai and his star Leung Chiu-wai at the Gala opening film, In the Mood for Love (HK, 2000) in what is now one of Thailand's most important cultural events. Both honoured guests, however, failed to turn up to the disappointment of the eagerly-awaiting media and the many admirers at the grand opening. With hindsight, perhaps some other equally worthy film such as Kurosawa Kiyoshi's Pulse (Kairo, Japan, 2001) or Tsai Ming-liang's latest masterpiece, What Time Is It There? (Taiwan-France, 2001) should have taken pride of place instead, knowing the unpredictability...

Two concepts of first- and second-order differential of images are presented to deal with the changes of pixels. These are the basic ideas in mathematics. We propose and reformulate them with a uniform definition framework. Based on our observation and analysis with the difference, we propose an algorithm to detect the edge from image. Experiments on Corel5K and PASCAL VOC 2007 are done to show the difference between the first order and the second order. After comparison with Canny operator and the proposed first-order differential, the main result is that the second-order differential has the better performance in analysis of changes of the context of images with good selection of control parameter.

Near infrared (NIR) spectrometry has found wide use in academic applications, forensic research and in industry. While the use of NIR has been extended to new fields, there have also been enormous developments in the field of multivariate calibration. Some of these developments were due to demands in NIR applications while others came from related spectral techniques. In this paper some trends and developments in multivariate calibration and the use of NIR spectrometry are presented and commented upon. A complete overview would be quite impossible, but an attempt is made to present a good selection of what is going on in the field, with appropriate comments.

Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes can be reduced by sulfurated sodium borohydride to the corresponding alcohols. The reduction gives a quantitative yield of alcohol, without secondary products, if the reaction is performed at 0–10 °C. At higher temperatures (60°), the reduction is accompanied by the formation of disulfide. A good selection of the two possible reactions is obtained by adjusting the operating temperature. A mechanism explaining the reduction and the formation of sulfurated product is presented.
