The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of heated soil on the population of bacteria, fungi and nematodes inhabiting the soil of tomato cultivar "Tamaris" growing in peat and coconut substrates. In addition, these media were tested in two different containers: cylinders and slabs. The total number of bacteria and fungi was significantly higher in the peat substrate than in the coconut substrate. A much higher number of beneficial bacteria producing spores were noted in the coconut soil. The total number of bacteria and fungi was modified by the heating levels. In all the experimental treatments, most of the identified individuals belonged to the group of nematodes that feed on bacteria and it was the most diverse group of species. The highest total number of nematodes was recorded for the second heating level, with the exception of cultivation carried out in peat slabs, where the most of nematodes were found at the control level. The highest first crop was produced by plants growing on the peat slabs supplied with the highest soil temperature. Tomato roots of all the control treatments showed the highest root morphological parameters.
Description of two three-dimensional topological quantum field theories of
Witten type as twisted supersymmetric theories is presented. Low-energy
effective action and a corresponding topological invariant of three-dimensional
manifolds are considered.Comment: 9 pages, conference: "Particles, Fields, and Gravitation", Lodz

A study of the partition function of a 3-dimensional scalar-vector model formally related via duality to the Rozansky-Witten topological σ-model is presented. The partition function is shown to consist of such topological quantities of a 3-dimensional manifold M like a lattice sum, the Reidemeister-Ray-Singer torsion τ R (M) and the Massey product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
