Fruits of the date palm, Phoenix dactylifera, are over 1 In (2.5 cm) long, sweet, fleshy, oblong, and contain a single seed. They grow in clusters that contain up to 200 dates and weigh up to 25 lb (11 kg). While hanging on the tree, dates are a rich red to golden brown. 

Natural rubber can be obtained from the sap of a number of plants and trees, the most common source is the Hevea brasiliensis tree. Although natural rubber was known in Central and South America before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, the first use as an adhesive was established in a patent dated in 1891. As rubber became an important part of the industrial revolution, the rubber adhesives market grew in importance. To comply with the increasing demand on natural rubber materials, plantations of Hevea brasiliensis trees were established in southeast Asia in the early 20th Century, mainly to supply the demand from the automobile industry. 

C22-0115. Carbon-14 dating gives 3250 years as the age of a charcoal sample, assuming a constant level of cosmic radiation. If the cosmic ray level in the atmosphere was 20% higher at the time the tree grew, what is the correct age of the sample ... 

To date every relationship anticipated by team scientists has been easily represented by a hierarchical tree. Moreover, all of the structures shown In Figure 2 have actually occurred In applications. Thus, It Is not uncommon for Interactive synerglsms to be... 

Sampling techniques must be defined and controlled. If leaf punch samples are taken, the sampling design must define the portions of the crop that will be sampled (e.g., all sides of each plant, how high to sample in trees, inner and outer leaves). Never sample a leaf by brushing with an outer leaf that may be sampled at a later date. 

It is not only the vast difference of about 1.8 billion years which is so surprising the timescale for the separation point of the main branches of the tree of life is clearly shifted. The catastrophe hypothesis put forward to explain this difference appears unlikely, since there are no signs of such a phenomenal obliteration of all life on Earth. Another explanation could be that the data from the amino acid sequences provide only information on the way in which life forms diverged, but not on the timescale (Schopf, 1998). This interpretation of the Doolittle event by Schopf was provided at a time when doubts had not yet been cast on the dating of the first fossils at 3.45 billion years, published by him in 1993. 

However, some plants can accumulate more than 0.1% of Pb, Co, Cr, and more than 1% of Mn, Ni and Zn in the shoots. These accumulator plants are called hyperaccumulators. To date, there are approximately 400 known metal hyperaccumulator plants in the world (Baker and Walker, 1989). Thlaspi caerulescens, Alyssum murale, A. lesbiacum, A. tenium are Zn and Cd hyperaccumulators. Brassica juncea, a high-biomass plant, can accumulate Pb, Cr(III), Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn, Sr, B and Se. Thlaspi caerulescens accumulates Ni. Hybrid poplar trees are reported to phytoremediate Cd and As contaminated soils. A Chinese brake fem, Pteris vittata, is an As hyperaccumulator (Ma et al., 2001). 

There are two possible approaches. In one approach we in effect build the execution sequence tree for P. We start with node (1,0) labelled START. A node (k,r) will be at level r of the new tree-like structure and be labelled with the instruction named by k. Suppose statement k in P is connected by an arrow (with or without a label) to statement p in P and that we have constructed node (k,r) in P to date. If (k,r) has no ancestor of the form (p,r ), r < r, place node (p,r+l) labelled by statement p on the tree, with an arrow from (k,r) to (p,r+l) which contains any label on the arrow from k to p. If there is already an ancestor (p,rT), r < r, of (k,r) on the tree, then do not create (p,r+l) but instead add an arrow from (k,r) back to (p,r ) containing any label also on the arrow from k to p. If P has N statements, this process must terminate in a scheme P with at most N levels. Clearly P is tree-like and is strongly equivalent to P. This transformation is global and structure preserving. In fact P is a strong homomorphic image of P under the homomorphism h taking each (k,r>) back into k. ...
