Received 25 February, 2014; Acceppted 9 June, 2014 Due to premature defoliation, early blight epidemics can cause major yield losses. Large-spore Alternaria species such as A. solani and A. tomatophila have long been recognized as important pathogens responsible for such blight disease in the famiily Solanaceeae and thus represent a serious risk for crop production. Small-spore Alternaria species have also been frequently isolated from plant samples with typical blight symptoms but their incidence as primary pathogens is often controversial. In order to study the diversity of small-spore Alternaria species, 32 isolates were selected from a larger collection of 130 isolates from infected leaves, fruits and sttems of tomato from various growing regions of North-West Algeria. Morphological characterization under standard conditions annd polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses using specific primers to amplify a part of the ITS regions and the 5.8S gene were conducted to confirm their identification as members of the altternata section.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

    SPECIAL REPORT DECEMBER 2011 DRUG DELIVERY REVIEW AND OUTLOOK INDUSTRY GROWTH TO CONTINUE THROUGH NEW TECHNOLOGIES The worldwide drug-delivery arena is growing each year as the increasing aging population is in need of improved methods of administration for products and therapies. Drug-delivery industry growth is being led by the United States as well as emerging markets. Oral forms remain the preferred method of drug-delivery administration. Gaining in popularity are parenteral, inhalation and implantable systems. Elements impacting the development of drug-delivery systems include reimbursement, environmental factors, and regulatory processes. Product developers are coming up with better ways to improve therapy performance and safety as patients become more involved in their treatments in an effort to cut down on costs. New electronic technologies for reusable systems and disposable devices are leading to improved sales of auto-injectors. Microneedle technology is on the rise so that medicine can be precisely delivered to areas in need of treatment.
