title: Nitrate dependent anaerobic acetylene-reduction and nitrogen-fixation by soybean bacteroids

authors: Rigaud, J.

subjects: biology

abstract: Bacteroids isolated from nodules produced by one strain of Rhizobium japonicum (CC705) had strong nitrate-reducing activity and reduced C₂H₂ to C₂H₄ and N₂ to NH₃ anaerobically with nitrate. Bacteroids of another strain (CB1809) were much less active nitrate reducers and reduced little C₂H₂ anaerobically. Nitrite, which accumulated in the medium in anaerobic assays, was an inhibitor of C₂H₂reduction in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Succinate, at about 25 mM, stimulated both nitrate reduction and C₂H₂ reduction under aerobic conditions. Glucose stimulated C₂H₂ reduction up to 120 mM but nitrate reduction was inhibited in the presence of glucose. In terms of electrons transferred, the aerobic pathway appeared to be about 2.5 times more efficient than the anaerobic pathway in supporting nitrogenase activity of CC705 bacteroids.

title: Construction of resolvable spatial row-column designs

authors: Williams, E.R.

subjects: average efficiency factor

abstract: Resolvable row–column designs are widely used in field trials to control variation and improve the precision of treatment comparisons. Further gains can often be made by using a spatial model or a combination of spatial and incomplete blocking components. Martin, Eccleston, and Gleeson (1993, Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference34, 433–450) presented some general principles for the construction of robust spatial block designs which were addressed by spatial designs based on the linear variance (LV) model. In this article we define the two-dimensional form of the LV model and investigate extensions of the Martin et al. principles for the construction of resolvable spatial row–column designs. The computer construction of efficient spatial designs is discussed and some comparisons made with designs constructed assuming an autoregressive variance structure.
