STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA
LOS ANGELES -- Steve Nash did what he usually does -- only better than he's ever done it.
With that, the Phoenix Suns have a commanding 3-1 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in their first-round playoff series.

Nash had a career-high 23 assists -- one shy of the NBA playoff record -- to go with 17 points, and the Suns raced to a 113-100 victory over the Lakers on Sunday to move within one win of advancing to the second round.
Amare Stoudemire had 27 points and a career playoff-high 21 rebounds for the run-and-gun Suns, who vowed to speed things up after a lethargic performance in Game 3.
"We just wanted to be in the right spots and just wanted to be a lot more aggressive," Nash said. "I just felt like I was going to be more aggressive, put the onus on myself to make plays."
The Suns averaged an NBA-leading 110.2 points during the regular season, scoring at least 100 in all but 14 of their 82 games and less than 90 only twice. After losing Game 3 to the Lakers 95-89, coach Mike D'Antoni and his players knew they had to quicken the pace.
Did they ever.
Shawn Marion had 22 points and 11 rebounds, supersub Leandro Barbosa scored 16 points and James Jones added 11 for the Suns.
"The speed of the game was ours," D'Antoni said. "They surprised us with their intensity in Game 3. Today wasn't a surprise. We have our system, and we ran it pretty good today. We had 34 assists on 41 baskets and that's because of our spacing. That's what we do -- we've done it all year."
Steve Nash assisted on 56.1 percent of the Suns' 41 field goals on Sunday, the fourth-highest percentage in NBA playoff history, behind John Stockton (60.5 percent and 57.1 percent in the previously mentioned performances) and Mark Jackson, who had assists on 17 of 30 (56.7 percent) field goals for the Pacers in a loss at Cleveland in 1998. • Read more Elias Says. |
D'Antoni said had the Suns shot the ball like they usually do, Nash might have had 30 assists.
Teammate Raja Bell went his coach one better.
"If we shot the ball well, he could have had 35," Bell said. "We run when he runs. He's the engine that can really rev us up and get us in transition."
Nash left the game to a mixed reception with 1:02 remaining and the outcome long since decided. Magic Johnson and John Stockton share the single-game playoff assist record -- Johnson doing so for the Lakers against Phoenix in 1984, and Stockton accomplishing the feat against the Lakers for Utah four years later.
"Probably the two best point guards to play the game," said Nash, who noticed Johnson in his courtside seat during the game. "Not a shabby collection to learn from. I grew up watching them and in many ways wanted to emulate them."
The 33-year-old two-time NBA MVP entered the fourth quarter with 20 assists, but fell one short of the record.
"It wasn't meant to be, and that's all right," he said. "There's two guys who had gotten more than me, and they deserve it."
Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night in Phoenix, where the Suns won the first two games. A sixth game, if necessary, would be Friday night at Staples Center.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 31 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, but scored only three points in the fourth quarter. Lamar Odom added 19 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, and Maurice Evans and Smush Parker scored 11 points each for the Lakers, who committed 20 turnovers to 15 for Phoenix.
"They just had too much firepower for us today," Bryant said. "You knew they were going to step up and respond to the challenge."
Outrebounded 44-35 in Game 3, the Suns had a 44-39 advantage in this game.
"We made a conscious effort to control the paint defensively," Stoudemire said. "It was very physical. I've got a few war wounds I've got to take with me, but you do whatever it takes to get wins in the playoffs."
The Suns outscored the Lakers 10-4 to finish the third period for an 85-71 lead, and scored seven straight points to extend their advantage to 93-77.
Two baskets by Boris Diaw and two free throws by Nash made it 105-85 before Odom scored five points during an 8-0 run that made it a 12-point game with 3:46 remaining. But the Lakers weren't able to get closer than 11 points after that.
"They were a better team than we were today. They were a little quicker at everything," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "We have to get ourselves geared up and we'll have another chance to bring this game back here to L.A. on Friday."
Nash had 15 assists in the first half to match the NBA playoff record set by Johnson and equaled by Doc Rivers. The Suns led at halftime 58-51.
Game notes
Nash's previous career playoff high in assists was 17, and his regular-season high is 22 -- three shy of Kevin Johnson's franchise record. ... Nash has had at least 10 assists in 37 playoff games -- seventh on the NBA's career list. He had been tied with Oscar Robertson. ... Jackson-coached teams have trailed a series 2-0 six times including this year, and have come back to win twice. Entering these playoffs, only 11 of 193 teams rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win a best-of seven series. ... In Game 4 of the teams' first-round series last year, also played on a Sunday at Staples Center, Bryant scored at the end of regulation and overtime to give the Lakers a 99-98 victory and a 3-1 lead. The Suns won the next three games including a 121-90 blowout in Game 7.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to monitor the changes in isoflavone content in different plant organs (leaves, stems, roots) during the crop growth stage of three cultivars of Lupinus albus (white lupin) under field conditions, taking into account sowing time effects (autumn and early spring) and cultivar effects. Three sampling dates (from late vegetative to late grain growth stages) were evaluated. Seven isoflavones and four flavonoids were identified by LC-ESI-MS analysis. The isoflavone content was higher in leaves than in stems, and it was highest before flowering, whereas it decreased during maturity. Autumn-sown plants showed higher isoflavone content than early spring-sown plants, especially in late vegetative and early reproductive stages. Genistein 7- O-glucoside was the main isoflavone of leaves and stems in the late vegetative stages of early spring sowing, whereas genistein was the main isoflavone under autumn sowing. Variation among cultivars affected only marginally the total isoflavone content. No isoflavones were detected in seeds.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 07/2008; 56(12):4450-6. · 3.11 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The intake of lupin-based foods could imply the exposure of consumers to quinolizidine alkaloids. The objectives of this study were to assess the genetic variation among and within 11 geographic regions of Lupinus albus ecotypes, verify the quinolizidine alkaloids amount of alkaloid-poor L. albus and Lupinus angustifolius varieties, and assess the effect of two climatically contrasting Italian environments on the alkaloid content. The quantitation was performed by GC-MS, and in all samples lupanine was the most abundant quinolizidine alkaloid, followed by albine and 13alpha-hydroxylupanine for L. albus and by 13alpha-hydroxylupanine and angustifoline for L. angustifolius. Some regions tended to have a high (Azores) or low (Egypt, Near East, Maghreb) total alkaloids content, but the variation among ecotypes within regions was larger than that among regions following the estimation of variance components. Alkaloid-poor varieties tended to have higher total alkaloid contents when grown in the subcontinental climate site, exceeding in some cases the limit of 0.200 mg/g.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 06/2008; 56(10):3657-63. · 3.11 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Lupin proteins are gaining attention to replace animal proteins and other plants ingredients in several foods such as bakery products, imitation dairy and meat products, and beverages. One of the major safety issues of lupin-based foods is the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs), bitter compounds produced by lupin plants as a defense mechanism against predators. In mammals, QA intoxication is characterized by trembling, shaking, excitation, and convulsion. Lupanine and sparteine, the most common QAs, show acute oral toxicity due to neurological effects leading to the loss of motor co-ordination and muscular control. In this paper, 27 samples of lupin-based products, i. e., flours, protein isolates, and food (either model or commercially available ones), were analyzed for evaluating the QA content using a method based on GC/MS. All the analyzed samples were safe since they respect the maximum limit of 200 mg/kg fixed by the Health Authorities of Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and France, that have regulated this topic. The QA contents were particularly low in protein isolates and in foods containing these ingredients, indicating that their use is a very effective tool for keeping low the daily intake of QAs.Molecular Nutrition & Food Research 03/2008; 52(4):490 - 495. · 4.91 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The chemical degradation of the herbicide azimsulfuron was investigated in aqueous solutions at different pH values. The hydrolysis rate, determined by HPLC analyses, was pH dependent and was much faster in acidic than in neutral or weakly basic conditions. The metabolites formed at different pH values were compared with standards when possible or isolated and identified using ESI-LC-MS/MS, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR. The two main products of hydrolysis in mild acidic solution were identified as 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxy-pyrimidine and 2-methyl-4-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2H-pyrazole-3-sulfonamide, both produced as a result of the sulfonylurea bridge cleavage. Under basic conditions, a new product, a substituted 2-pyrimidinamine, deriving from the contraction of the sulfonylurea bridge, was isolated and completely characterized for the first time.Chemosphere 08/2007; 68(7):1312-7. · 3.50 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Foods based on sweet lupin proteins are gaining attention from industry and consumers because of their possible role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. When promoting lupin-based foods for inclusion in a daily diet, the thermal damage suffered during processing is of relevance to the bioactive and nutritional quality of the food product. N-(2-furoylmethyl)-L-lysine (furosine) quantification demonstrates that currently available sweet lupin protein isolates have a thermal damage comparable to or lower than other traditional food ingredients, and are a good source of lysine in non-dairy products. In lupin-based foods claiming to have cholesterol-lowering potential, shotgun proteomics offers itself as a fast and effective screening method for assessing the biological availability of active peptides. Such a method is readily applicable to other legume-enriched food products.Molecular Nutrition & Food Research 05/2007; 51(4):431-6. · 4.91 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Azimsulfuron is a recently introduced sulfonylurea herbicide useful in controlling weeds in paddy fields. To date very little information is available on the biodegradation of this pesticide and on its effect on the soil microbial community. The aim of this work was to study its biodegradation both in slurry soil microcosms and in batch tests with mixed and pure cultures. Azimsulfuron was applied to forest bulk soil in order to study its effect on the structure of the bacterial soil community, as detectable by denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analyses. Biodegradation and abiotic processes were investigated by HPLC analyses. In addition, a microbial consortium was selected, that was able to use azimsulfuron as the sole energy and carbon source. One of the metabolites produced by the consortium was isolated and identified through LC-MS analyses. Cultivable bacteria of the consortium were isolated and identified by 16S rDNA sequencing (1400 bp). Azimsulfuron treatment seems to have the ability to cause changes in the bacterial community structure that are detectable by DGGE analyses. It is easily biodegraded both in microcosms and in batch tests, with the formation of an intermediate that was identified as 2-methyl-4-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2H-pyrazole-3-sulfonamide. The study increases the knowledge on the biodegradation of azimsulfuron and its effects on the soil microbiota.Journal of Applied Microbiology 09/2006; 101(2):443-52. · 2.39 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes a pilot process for obtaining protein isolates from white lupin seed with improved water solubility and technofunctional properties as well as reduced thermal damage. After a careful optimization of the process parameters, two valuable food ingredients were prepared: lupin protein isolate type E, with a useful emulsifying capacity, and lupin protein isolate type F, with a high capability of foam formation and stabilization. The spray-drying process was particularly critical for inducing some thermal damage, but a careful selection of the conditions permitted ingredients having only marginally impaired lysine bioavailability to be obtained. The reproducibility of the protein extraction process was tested on two different lupin varieties.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 02/2006; 54(1):92-8. · 3.11 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The target of the present work was the chemical, technological, and sensorial characterization of the brown polymers (foaming fractions) of freshly prepared espresso coffee. The total foaming fraction (TFF) was precipitated with ammonium sulfate from the defatted freshly prepared beverage and then subfractionated by adding 2-propanol/water to give an insoluble fraction (foaming fraction A, FFA) and a soluble fraction (foaming fraction B, FFB). The former is almost colorless, has a higher molecular weight and a lower nitrogen content, and contains mostly polysaccharides, whereas the latter has a lower molecular weight and a higher protein/melanoidin content, which results in a darker color. FFB showed greater foaming capability, but FFA contributed to the stability of the foam. FFB was further fractionated with solid-phase extraction and characterized by different analytical methods (size exclusion chromatography, UV, HPLC-DAD, 1H NMR). All of the melanoidin-rich fractions showed antioxidant properties with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate method.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 11/2004; 52(23):7118-25. · 3.11 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: White lupin (Lupinus albus, L.), a widely cultivated crop that has been consumed for many years in Western Europe, may provide a useful alternative for individuals wishing to substitute animal with plant proteins for cardiovascular disease prevention. Lupin seeds have a very low content of isoflavones, and lupin protein isolates are essentially isoflavone free. In rats fed a casein-based cholesterol + cholic acid diet, a relatively low daily intake (50 mg/d by gavage for 2 wk) of total lupin protein extract reduced plasma total and VLDL + LDL cholesterol concentrations by 21 and 30%, respectively (both P<0.001). In an attempt to elucidate the lipid-lowering mechanism, LDL receptor activity was evaluated in a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2). In this model, the lupin total protein extract was essentially inactive, whereas one purified minor protein component, conglutin gamma, had a remarkable upregulatory effect, with maximal increases of 53 and 21% (both P<0.05) for LDL uptake and degradation, respectively. This initial study indicates that lupin, although isoflavone free, has hypocholesterolemic activity similar to that of other leguminous proteins in an established animal model. Further, the cholesterol reduction appears to be associated with stimulation of LDL receptors by a well-defined protein component of the lupin seeds as demonstrated by in vitro studies.Journal of Nutrition 01/2004; 134(1):18-23. · 4.23 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two sulfonylurea herbicides, chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron-methyl, were studied under laboratory conditions, in order to elucidate the biodegradation pathway operated by Aspergillus niger, a common soil fungus, which is often involved in the degradation of xenobiotics. HPLC-UV was used to study the kinetic of degradation, whereas LC-MS was used to identify the metabolites structure. In order to avoid the chemical degradation induced by a decrease in pH, due to the production of citric acid by the fungus, the experiments were performed in a buffered neutral medium. No significant degradation for both compounds was observed in mineral medium with 0.2% sodium acetate. On the contrary, in a rich medium, after 28 days the degradations, chemical degradation excluded, were about 30% for chlorsulfuron and 33% for metsulfuron-methyl. The main microbial metabolites were obtained via cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge. In addition the fungus seems to be able to hydroxylate the aromatic ring of chlorsulfuron. In the case of metsulfuron-methyl the only detected metabolite was the triazine derivative, while the aromatic portion was completely degraded. Finally, the demethylation of the methoxy group on the triazine ring, previously observed with a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain, was not observed with A. niger.Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B 12/2003; 38(6):737-46. · 1.23 Impact Factor -
Article: Characterization of field-isolates and derived DMI-resistant strains of Cercospora beticola.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cercospora beticola strains with laboratory induced resistance to tetraconazole were compared with their parental WT sensitive strains to evaluate the effects of resistance on fitness and assess whether any change in the sterol biosynthetic pathway was associated to the reduced fungicide sensitivity. In vitro growth rate on agar media and pathogenicity were found to be negatively affected by resistance. The main functional sterols in C. beticola WT strains under investigation were ergosterol, brassicasterol and ergosta-7,22-dienol. Resistant strains showed the same qualitative sterol composition, ruling it out as, per se, a cause for resistance. On the basis of the sterols detected both in sensitive and resistant strains, a possible biosynthetic pathway to the three functional sterols is proposed. Tetraconazole treatment caused, in all sensitive strains, the immediate accumulation of 14alpha-methylated sterols, which, for inhibitor concentrations up to EC50 values, were, in order of abundance, 14alpha-methylergosta-8,24(28)-dien-3beta,6alpha-diol, eburicol and obtusifoliol. However the data do not support a critical role of the 14-methyl-3,6-diol derivative in the growth arrest of C. beticola. As main difference between sensitive and resistant strains, the formers were found to accumulate higher amounts of 14alpha-methylated sterols. Although the data do not allow to establish a specific mechanism for resistance, some molecular mechanisms such as target site alterations and sterol biosynthetic pathway can be ruled out as a possible cause for reduced sensitivity.Mycological Research 11/2003; 107(Pt 10):1178-88. · 2.81 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Casein and caseinates are the main ingredients of formulas for enteral nutrition. Their manufacturing procedure and the thermal treatments necessary to assure microbiological stabilization and satisfactory shelf-life of the end-products are particularly favorable for the formation of lysinoalanine (LAL), a cross-linked amino acid that is considered a useful marker of the thermal damage and reduced digestibility of proteins. The lysinoalanine content of 18 different kinds of formulas for enteral nutrition was determined by HPLC after derivatization. The liquid formulas have an average value of 528 microg/g protein LAL, ranging from 160 to 800 microg/g protein (average content of formulas for pediatric use 747 microg/g protein). These values are rather high considering that the average value detected in UHT-treated drinkable milk is 117 microg/g protein. In principle, the preparation of caseinates and the thermal stabilization of the end products are the two steps more favorable for the formation of LAL. The fact that the five samples stabilized by an UHT-treatment have an average value of 512 microg/g protein suggests that the LAL content depends more on the quality of the starting ingredients than on the sterilization process. A better selection of the starting ingredients should improve the quality of formulas for enteral nutrition, which is very desirable when formulating foods for consumers with very high nutritional demands.Journal of Dairy Science 08/2003; 86(7):2283-7. · 2.55 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this work, investigations were performed under laboratory conditions of the degradation ability by a common soil fungus, Aspergillus niger, toward chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron-methyl. The results were very encouraging (79% for chlorsulfuron and 61% for metsulfuron-methyl of total degradation), especially compared to those registered in our previous studies with a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain B2 (about 21 to 32%). Furthermore, the chemical degradation of the two compounds was studied and two products (1[2-methoxy-benzene-1-sulfonyl]-7-acetyltriuret and 1[2-chlorobenzene-1-sulfonyl]-7-acetyltriuret) were isolated and characterised by hydrolysis in acidic conditions. Our aim in the future will be the identification of intermediate metabolites by HPLC and LC-MS analyses in order to identify the degradative pathway by the fungal strain and to compare this to those obtained by chemical degradation and by P. fluorescens strain.The Scientific World Journal 06/2002; 2:1501-6. · 1.22 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Some important edible oils (extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, and sunflower oil) were added to aqueous glucose-lysine or xylose-lysine model systems to investigate their effect on the formation of volatiles from the Maillard reaction (MR). The volatile compounds were extracted by a Likens-Nickerson apparatus and quantified. Pyrazines, Maillard reaction products with an important impact on food flavor, appeared to be particularly sensitive to the presence of the oils in both the xylose-lysine and glucose-lysine model systems. The unsubstituted pyrazine was formed more with olive oil, less with canola oil, and even less with sunflower oil, whereas 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-methylpyrazine, and 2,3-dimethylpyrazine were formed less with olive oil, more with canola oil, and even more with sunflower. The oxidative states of the oils and their fatty acid fingerprints were determined: the results indicated that the relative amounts of the pyrazines are sensitive to the degree of unsaturation of the oil. The autoxidation of the volatile compounds generated from the MR, investigated by the addition of free radical modulators (antioxidants alpha-tocopherol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, and rosemary extract; or pro-oxidant alpha,alpha'-azobis-isobutyronitrile, a free radical initiator), was limited in respect to aqueous model systems.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 02/2001; 49(1):439-45. · 3.11 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The volatiles produced in xylose/lysine model systems added with an antioxidant (alpha-tocopherol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, or rosemary extract) or a free radical initiator (alpha, alpha'-azobis(isobutyronitrile), AIBN) were analyzed to investigate the effects of the presence of free radicals on the Maillard reaction. The pH was maintained constant at 4 or 6, by adding a base, and the data were compared by principal component analysis (PCA). The additives were more effective at pH 4 than pH 6. At pH 4, the model system added with AIBN is very well-discriminated by PCA from the models with the antioxidants and the reference model system, indicating that the volatiles are sensitive to compounds that can interfere in an opposite way with free radical formation.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 03/2000; 48(2):479-83. · 3.11 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The formation of volatile compounds from an aqueous glucose−lysine model system heated in the presence of either a free radical initiator (pro-oxidant) or an antioxidant was investigated. α-Tocopherol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), and rosemary extract were used as antioxidants, and α,α'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) was used as a free radical initiator. The experiments were performed at pH 4 and 6, which were constantly maintained during the heating time by the addition of diluted NaOH. Principal component analysis was used to find similarities and differences among the model systems. Especially at pH 6 AIBN produces a depletion of pyrazine, 2-methylpyrazine, and 2,3-dimethylpyrazine, whereas the three antioxidants enhance the same compounds. This could be due to an autoxidation of the already formed pyrazines or of some intermediate: in particular, the sensitive material could be the C2 fragment necessary for the formation of pyrazine, 2-methylpyrazine, and 2,3-dimethylpyrazine, but not of 2,5-dimethylpyrazine.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this report was to study the involvement of free radicals on the formation of volatiles from the Maillard reaction. An aqueous model system of glucose/lysine was heated in the presence of different amounts of antioxidants, such as α-tocopherol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), and rosemary extract, or of α,α'-azobis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) which is a pro-oxidant (free radical initiator). The differences in volatile formation between the standard model system and those with additives are relatively small. BHT, at pH 4, decreases pyrazine, while it increases slightly 2-methylpyrazine and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and much more 2-acetylpyrrole, at pH 6 it produces a decrease in furaneol. α-Tocopherol, at pH 4, decreases pyrazine, furaneol, 2,3-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one, and 2-acetylpyrrole, while at pH 6 it decreases 2-furanmethanol, and furaneol. Rosemary extract, at pH 4, decreases all the pyrazines and 2-furanmethanol and 2-acetylpyrrole; at pH 6 it produces a decrease of furaneol and 2,3-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one. AIBN at both pH's decreases the pyrazines and increases 2-acetylpyrrole.01/1998; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper was to monitor the variation of the isoflavone content in different plant organs (leaves, stems and roots) during the crop growth cycle of three cultivars of Lupinus albus (white lupin) under field conditions, taking account of environmental effects due to sowing time (autumn and winter) and genetic effects. Three sampling dates were evaluated, considering different growth stages of the plants. Seven isoflavones and four flavonoids were identified. The isoflavone contents were higher in leaves than in stems and before flowering than during maturity. Autumn-sown plants contained more isoflavones than late winter- sown plants, especially at the first sampling date. Genetic features appeared to affect only marginally the isoflavones production. -
Article: GENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF L UPINUS A L BUS L. SEED
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The influence of genetic variables (G) and genotype × × × × environment (GE) interactions on grain yield and grain content of oil, total saturated fatty acid (TSFA), polyunsaturated FA (PUFA), monounsaturated FA (MUFA) and �3/�6 fatty acid (FA) ratio of the seeds of different cultivars of Lupinus albus L. sown in subcontinental and Mediterranean climate conditions in Italy was investigated. The fatty acid composition was determined by GC-FID analysis of the methyl esters obtained by trans-methylation of the extracted oil. The quantification was performed either with the normalisation or the internal standard method to obtain the absolute quantities of single FAs. The results were submitted to statistical evaluation, using the Newman and Keuls' test, to identify significant differences among samples, and by variance analysis, to highlight the possible variation between cultivars and environments and the occurrence of GE interaction. Genotypic features (G) were shown to be relatively constant across environments, since G × × × × GE interactions are lower than G interactions for all variables. A relevant nutritional feature of lupin seed is the content of PUFAs, i.e. linoleic acid and α α α α-linolenic acid, and, as a consequence, the -
Article: Degradation pathways of chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron-methyl by a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sulfonylureas are a relatively new class of herbicides characterised by several aspects that make them particularly interesting in comparison with other products. Two microbial consortia able to grow on two sulfonylureas, chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron- methyl, were selected in laboratory conditions using as inocula soil samples previously treated with sulfonylurea herbicides and from a laboratory enrichment culture obtained with chlorsulfuron. From these mixed cultures, a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain called B2, was able to degrade in co-metabolic conditions with a rich medium in two weeks about 21% of metsulfuron-methyl and 32% of chlorsulfuron. For both herbicides, three microbial metabolites were detected and characterized, suggesting two different degradation path- ways in which the cleavage of sulfonylurea bridge takes place. Chemical hydrolysis, per- formed in acidic condition, in order to determine the chemical degradation pathways and to obtain pure standard for HPLC analyses, allowed to identify different compounds from those obtained with biodegradation; in fact the cleavage of triazinic ring happened. These results suggest that microbiological and chemical degradation can follow different path- ways.

We are looking at a trip to Vietnam which does not include Angkor Wat. in Cambodia. Are we missing something that is a must in that part of the world? Another question is should we take a land tour of Vietnam or a Mekong River Cruise.
is Angkor Wat at must?

If you want to see/experience VN, you need to take a land tour. This is very easy to arrange on your own, no need for a group tour. If you want to take a cruise up the Mekong into Cambodia, that's fine. Many people enjoy these cruises. But it is no substitute for time on the ground in either VN or Cambodia. Note that the places you likely want to visit in VN are along the coast, not along the Mekong.
For me, Angkor is a must. It is one of the wonders of the world. To see if it is a must for you, get a copy of Dawn Rooney's book, Angkor: A Guide to Cambodia's Wondrous Temples. You can also take a look at our photos at www.marlandc.com -

A "Must See" sight is just that for some people, not others. Hence there really is no universal list. I've spent quite a lot of time in Asia and have never been to Ankor Wat, nor have I been to the Taj Mahal after 3 trips and many months in India. Some would say I've missed the greatest pleasures that exist but if I'm not drawn to them myself then I guess I don't feel I've missed anything.
You see then the issue. I'd say that if you have to ask strangers if you should go then you don't have to go. If it was a "must" for you, you wouldn't be asking, you'd just be going. I'm quite sincere in my belief that there's something for everyone but there are lots of different somethings. -

I didn't know if was a must for me. I went on a river cruise that included Angkor Wat and then did two weeks on my own along the coast. In retrospect, it is a must.

Angkor is a special place and it is one of our favorite places in the world. The temples are simply stunning and are unique in Southeast Asia. But I agree with MmePerdu -- not everyone has the same interests. If you enjoy art, architecture, history, and roaming through ancient ruins, then you should definitely consider adding Angkor to your trip. Either way, you'll have a great time.
Enjoy your trip! -

Your question seems to me like saying you are planning a trip to the UK which does not include a trip to Paris. Completely different places in terms of culture and religion, although they are geographically adjacent. If you feel you are "missing something" by skipping Ankor Wat, than you may have answered your own question.
Part of this would also depend on how much time you have for the trip overall. If you only have 10 days or so, then trying to add in Ankor Wat may be difficult logistically. But then again, I would skip a city like Ho Chi Minh in favour of Ankor Wat. -

I would say Angkor Wat is a must, especially if you're not returning to SE Asia for a while. Because it is getting more and more popular, it is likely that soon you will not have access to the ruins (I witnessed this over the years with the Mayan ruins in Mexico).
We were originally going to visit Bangkok and Northern Thailand without going to Angkor. A friend persuaded us to go and she was right - not only were the ruins mindblowing, but we fell in love with Cambodia, Siem Reap and the people. -

In order to answer the question- are you the kind of person that likes to spend hours in museums, cathedrals, temples, palaces, understanding the history, appreciating the architecture etc or... do you like to spend an hour or so and then move on to other things. Depending on which way you lean you now have the answer to your question.
Report Abuse
The last post implies of course that it's only people who spend "hours in museums, cathedrals, temples, palaces, understanding the history, appreciating the architecture etc" for whom Angkor Wat is special. We thought the area was very special, even though we are the type to spend "an hour or so and then move on to other things". I call us "temple lite" -- we want the highlights, not the PhD. That doesn't mean we didn't think it was incredible, and we loved Siem Reap and the Cambodian people.
That said, how much time do you have altogether? We spent 12 days on the ground in Vietnam, 4 in Siem Reap (of which we actually only spent two very long days "templing") and 4 in Hong Kong on that trip. -

I loved Angkor the first time I visited in 2003 but liked it a lot less when I returned in 2008. Siem Reap had exploded with hotels and the temples were heaving with visitors, far more than they could comfortably accommodate. The place had just become too busy although, it was still possible to find the odd corner of peace and quiet with a good tuk tuk driver. It is undeniably one of the premier sites in Asia but only if you really like that sort of thing. There is so much else to see in Vietnam that I really don't think you would be missing out.
Taking a Mekong cruise would be very nice, but you would be limiting yourself to the delta scenery only which would be a shame as there is a huge amoun to see and do around the country. A land tour or DIY travel would be much more rewarding. -

I agree that Angkor Wat is a must if you're coming to Cambodia. I've lived here for three years and always plan visits to Siem Reap for our guests, all of whom without exception have been happy they went (even if they weren't museum or archeology lovers).
It does tend to get busy but that's because it's an amazing destination. I usually suggest visiting around lunchtime even though it's the hottest time of the day, because most people have disappeared for lunch at that point and it will be a little quieter.
Keep in mind that Angkor Wat is a collection of temples, not just one, and that the smaller, more remote ones are usually quieter and less crowded. My favourite is Banteay Srey (temple of the women) which is further out of town (hence an interesting tuktuk ride through the region) and features many examples of beautiful carvings in its mostly ruined structure.
Siem Reap is also a bustling little town with lots to do so you don't have to spend all your time in the temples. Check out the Silk Farm and the Tonle Sap Lake for something that doesn't involve temple rambling. -

Interesting that you mention that one in the same post as you mentioned going at lunchtime. We did just that to Banteay Srei and we were the only ones there! May not be the best time of day for photography or light, but it's a great time of day to have the place to yourself. (P.S. We got a kick out of the the 2-liter bottle method of filling the tuk-tuk's gas tank with gas). -

To me, the real question is how many days do you have for this trip... and how many of those days can you carve out for Cambodia/Siem Reap? Bottom line, I wouldn't take the extra trip unless you're willing to spend at least 3 days/4 sleeps.
Others (esp. Gabi7) have already said the rest of what I was going to post. -

I'm not a HUGE temple worshiper but I am so pleased we made the trip to Angkor Wat. It has a atmosphere that is unique and even if you don't want to traipse around all of the temples, just sitting in a quiet corner can be beautiful. Try and get early starts and yes, lunchtime is a good time. We were there last month and it was rainy season so we did temples in the early morning until early afternoon and then took cover! A tuk-tuk ride is also a must, as is a wander around Siem Reap - Khemer Kitchen is a good spot for a local meal.

Does it matter which Khmer Kitchen location I visit? Is the food in one location better than the others or are they all the same? Are reservations a must?

Tides of Resilience (incl. video)
On the evening of November the 15th 2007 Cyclone Sidr struck the south coast of Bangladesh, thousands of people lost their lives. Full of rivers that meander to the coast, most of Bangladesh is a low-lying flood plain. It's bursting at the seams and is saturated with water and with people.
Photographer Rodney Dekker travelled to Bangladesh a year after Sidr and found that recovery from the cyclone was slow, many rural peasants were still homeless and fishermen had become climate refugees. Cyclones of greater intensity in the Bay of Bengal are just one of the many ways that climate change is having a major impact on this densely populated country.

v interesting. Bangladesh is one of those sad low-lying countries which has suffered centuries of flooding. As explained by some of the Bangldeshi fishermen, the principal problem for the down-stream population in the last 30 years, apart from continued natural variability in climatic consequences, is the up-stream interference in river-flows, including dams and the irregular flows of sediment. Presumably, one day the low-lying areas will disappear under the sea again. It would be useful to hear an ABC examination of the extent to which central Australia was once a sea-floor and how or why it is no longer so.-

It is documented that removal of mangroves has been the biggest contributor to the increased damage from cyclones. Mangroves are removed because population pressure which allow waves to move further across flat land.
Bangladesh don't think climate is problem. Over last decade population changed from 120 million to 160 million.

it is very interesting that your article hints at 'climate change' as being the cause for the destructive weather events here - there are no facts to support this claim. Variations in weather patterns on earth have long been a natural occurance. what isn't a natural occurance is the exponential and uninterupted increase in human population over the past few centuries. I think 'climate hostage' needs to be replaced by something that better reflects the root cause of most of the human misery we see today around the world. And you won't see any governments in power willing to acknowledge this, the single greatest threat to humanity

"Cyclones of greater intensity in the Bay of Bengal are just one of the many ways that climate change is having a major impact on this densely populated country"
Really, lets stick to facts and not make statements up. To put things in perspective. previous to man made CC what was an acceptable frequency of a "greater intensity"Moderator: Thanks very much for your comments John. We are basing our statements on The Copenhagen Diagnosis, the report prepared by The United Nations. http://www.copenhagendiagnosis.com/press.html On Page 19 it states
"Tropical cyclones
The IPCC Fourth Assessment found a substantial upward trend
in the severity of tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons)
since the mid-1970s, with a trend towards longer storm duration
and greater storm intensity, strongly correlated with the rise in
tropical sea surface temperatures. It concluded that a further
increase in storm intensity is likely." -

Exactly when did cyclones morph into climate change. In fact even the latest climate risk report from theIPCC itself states that there is only a tenuous relationship if at all.
Please ABC, ease off on the propaganda a bit, it makes a fine organization look foolish. -

Why does every disaster have to be "climate change" ?
Haven't floods and cyclones occurred ever before ?
Queensland records indicate the extreme weather event resulting in the 1893 flood of Brisbane was larger than the 1974 flooding of Brisbane which was higher than the 2011 flood. The trend seems to be going the wrong way.
The reduced flooding in 2011 was probably not due to Wivenhoe as the event did not seem to be as "instataneous" as 1974 to me. Had the waters in Wivenhoe not been as high at the outset the flooding would have been lower as evidenced in Ipswich.
These disasters are tragic - there is no need to continually raise the discredited spectre of climate change.
Besides - a bit of warmth is far preferable to prolonged cold and if history repeats that will come soon enough as the interglacial period comes to a close - as seems inevitable given the evidence of the past.-

THANK YOU ABC for your coverage!
And I wish to respond to Rosco's comment that "Haven't floods and cyclones occurred ever before?"
I originate from the country where my mother has spent all of her 72 years living in South Gippsland, Victoria.
I have been an Activist, educating others about the Climate Change Crisis for the last decade.
Mum's response to my questioning about the climate upheaval is that "It's all been happening for the last 30 years."
Rosco, and others, we have most likely been having climate disturbances since the Industrial Revolution.
However it is in more recent times, say the last 30 years, that the population are more aware of it all happening, especially since media and technological equipment is rapidly improving - both for recording and for spreading information throughout the World.
Also that the simultaneous flooding, cyclones, drought, etc. are increasing and becoming more prevalent in recent times and more rapid.
Similar to the eye of the cyclone.
So I applaud ABC and other media outlets to bring awareness to the public about Climate Change.
My production company, Soul Theatre Incorporated has raised awareness about Global Warming in the past and are creating a 4 year work THE CLIMAMANIA PROJECT so as people and politicians are even more aware of this reality, with solutions incorporated within our productions.
Hope to see you there! www.soultheatre.org.au
I'd also like Soul Theatre Inc. to partner with ABC, having been interviewed many a time over the last 17 years.

One of my favourite eyeliners and I have repurchased this! I find this practical as an 'everyday' eyeliner. The color is neutral and not too bold. The texture of the pencil is just right and application is smooth. Lasts all day too (note: I don't have particularly oily lids). The downside is that it does smudge so applying it on the lower lids (especially the lid margins) may not be a good idea.

An average DS brown liner. Formulation is similar to UD 24/7 eyeliners, very creamy and smudgy. Wears well on my lids but not on the waterline.

I've only tried this a couple of times, but the wear time isn't amazing, even using an eyeshadow primer underneath. The liner goes on exceptionally smooth and creamy, but it seems to disintegrate several hours later leaving only a barely visible smidge at the lashline. I'll try again using a powder eyeshadow to set, although other products of this ilk (UD 24/7) don't absolutely require it. My eyelids are notibly on the dry side too. Because of the soft consistency of the pencil, it wears down quickly and will need to be sharpened frequently as well.

This is a beautiful rich brown color that is extremely easy to apply. I thought it wasn't going to be very long lasting because of how smoothly it glides across my lids, but that isn't the case. It's also a good eyeliner if you like to layer eyeshadow on top because it creates a good base for that. I have no idea if it helps your eyelashes grow, but the smooth formula certainly could help moisturize the base of your lashes, helping to keep them strong for longer. The biggest drawback of this is how difficult it is to sharpen.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Brunette, Medium Eyes: Blue
This very dark brown shade applies smoothly and very opaque, highly pigmented. It appear almost a rich dark chocolate brown. This liner did not fade on me after the work day, still was about 100% still there and about 90% as vibrant as in the morning, which is very good performance for a drug store eye liner. I recommend these as a quick and cheap basic brown liner.
I cannot speak to the lash growth claims, as I use a lash growth serum already. I feel like it is very similar in creamyness and color to the Cover Girl Liquiline Blast eyeliner in Brown. Both pencils need to be sharpened often in order to maintain a point because of how creamy they are.

I really like this eyeliner. I prefer creamy gel eye liners that do not tug on the eyelid..Espresso is a rich dark brown, very opaque. I only use this on my upper lid area. It glides smoothly across and lasts all day on me. I do not notice any growth in my lashes. Also, I have no irritation from this product. This performs just as well if not better than Urban Decay 24/7 liners and costs way less.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown
I really wanted to like this liner but, like a few people have already stated, it irritated my eyes and made my eyelids swollen and puffy. It was horrible. There is something in the ingredients that, apparently, does NOT agree with some people. It's too bad they can't change this to a hypoallergenic forumla and remove whatever the irritating ingredient is, because otherwise this liner is excellent - goes on smooth, rich pigment, long lasting.
I'm very sad that I had to return this. :(
I gave it 2 lippies instead of 1 because it really IS a great liner - IF it doesn't make your eyelids swell to the size of eggs.

I purchased this product because I wanted a good brown eyeliner; I think it's a bit more suitable for me than black is. It does do good on the lash line like it claims, though it works horribly on my waterline, so if you're looking for a good liner for your waterline, I wouldn't recommend this. Overall, though, it's a good eyeliner considering it's from the drugstore. Goes on super smooth too!

Ok, bit of an update: I've seen a number of the JT Tactical kits in local mass retailers locally like Wal-Mart and Academy Sports. Local paintball store has them as well. Haven't seen a walk-on with one yet but it should be only a matter of time. ANS and Amazon have just posted the Raider and Outkast kits, for $100 and $75 respectively. The Raider kit looks like an especially good value for a new player, and dig how short its tiny little barrel is! The JT Guardian mask these things are packaged with has a little sticker on it that says "fog resistant lens." Does anyone know if that's just wishful thinking, or do these things really come with Elite-sized thermal lenses?

Quaint boutique hotel on the beach economical too
Posted Jan 13, 2015Pros: The personal touch from staff. Also the unique rooms and design with Mexican tiles and adobe walls. The location and beach .
Cons: The mattresses were a bit hard for us, and new softer pillows would be nice.
Location: Great location, several convience stores across the street and short walk to La Isla Dora shopping center. Beautiful beach.
We loved our week at the Mia Cancun. The staff was amazing; friendly, helpful and courteous. Traveling as Mom and daughter we felt totally safe and all staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable; because the hotel is small (27 rooms) it was so nice to see the same smiling faces through out our stay. Special thanks and accolades to Juan Carlos and Henri (hope I have his name correct, he was the gentleman manning the pool bar). The hotel is located in a great location, never felt crowded, beautiful beach with a lovely clean Mexican tiled pool overlooking the beach. Never had to fight for a beach chair! A very nice life guard was on duty at all times if you decided to brave the surf (the red flags were up for the entire week). If you are looking for a slick, aseptic hotel that could be anywhere then do not stay here. If you can look past a few cracked tiles, gently worn towels, and appreciate the Mia Cancun for what it is, a sweet boutique hotel with a few imperfections but full of character with a personal touch you will not be disappointed.

Posted Dec 2, 2014Wonderful...relaxing and comfortable! The staff was outstanding...Very personable and always eager to please the guests. The staff kept track of the comings and goings of the guests; this was very comforting for those visiting in a new country.

Great experience at Mia Cancun
Posted Nov 19, 2014 on Hotels.comThe hotel was fantastic and had really great character. The staff was extremely helpful and always friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast. The only complaint we had was that the wifi is only available in the lobby. To no fault of the hotel, you'll be hard pressed to find any decent food options within walking distance though.

Charming small hotel
Posted Nov 9, 2014 on Hotels.comThis small hotel is tastefully worn, atmospheric alternative to the huge, spiritless modern hotels. Good location next to the beach, bus stops are near and there is just a short walk to Isla Dorada shopping center. Housekeeping staff do excellent work, room and common areas are very clean and tidy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Cheerful and attentive service makes a good breakfast even better. Unfortunately no mexican breakfast at menu, but the great staff will do it anyway, if you ask. The name of the hotel is a little confusing. Apparently the hotel has recently changed its name from Avalon Baccarat to Mia Cancun. Shuttles and tours only identify the name of Avalon Baccarat - very confusing, if you booked a room in Mia Cancun. The new name is perhaps the explanation for the downstairs insipid pink facade on the wall. The breakfast room is also all-day dining restaurant, even though there is not any mention. The food is not bad at all, not just the snacks from poolbar, but also at the restaurant! You might want to check tours available also outside the hotel - there are several spots selling tours in convenient walking distance. Buying a tour from a man who is selling them at hotel, you might end up paying double price compare to other sellers, for the very same tour.

Título: | Depressed pollination of Lapageria rosea Ruiz et pav. (Philesiaceae) in the fragmented temperate rainforest of Southern South America |
Autor: | Valdivia, Carlos E.; Simonetti, Javier A.; Henríquez, Carolina |
Resumen: | We studied the pollination and reproductive success in continuous and fragmented populations of Lapageria rosea, a self-compatible plant endemic to temperate forests of Chile. Pollinator abundance, visitation rates, flower abundance, nectar volume and concentration, pollen germination and fruit and seed production, were compared between continuous forest of 145 ha and four forest fragments of 6, 3, 3, and 1 ha respectively, surrounded by mature pine plantations of Pinus radiata. Flower abundance was lower in three out of four forest fragments relative to continuous forest. Nectar volume and sugar concentration did not differ between flowers in the two habitats. Pollinators of L. rosea, the hummingbird Sephanoides sephaniodes and bumblebee Bombus dahlbomii were less abundant and visited flowers of L. rosea at lower rates in fragments than in continuous forest. In addition, in vitro rates of pollen germination were lower for flowers in forest fragments. The number of seeds per fruit was also lower in forest fragments. We suggest that fragmentation affects the reproductive success of L. rosea, lowering the total numbers of seeds produced and possibly compromising long term persistence of fragmented populations. |

Software Developer Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took a day – interviewed at Vanguard.
I contacted them at a job fair and the next day I had an interview on campus. It was basic behavioural interview questions and a little bit about your computing background such as what languages you know.
After a few weeks, I was invited to do on-site interviews. They pay for travel and other expenses if you need it. On the day of the interviews, they put you in a group of other graduates and you get to meet some of the people that work there. They describe their experiences and what it's like to work with the company as well as benefits you receive by being hired. There were two one-hour interviews that were mostly behavioural but it all depends on who is interviewing you. They provided you breakfast and dinner the day of, and were very friendly and nice the entire time.
- Describe a time in which you had to motivate group members when morale was low. Answer Question
They are a software company. If you enjoy software, then this is a really good place to work for. However, I was looking for a more hardware-oriented position.
