GROWTH AND SEASONAL CHANGES IN COMPOSITION OF OAK LEAVES

Seasonal Changes in the Content and Composition of Lipids in Acropora downingi

The lipid content and composition of the reef-building coral Acropora downingi, the largest coral reef of Hengam Island, were examined throughout a year. The results showed that the lipid content of A. downingi significantly differs in different seasons (t-test, P< 0.05). Depending on the season and spawning times, the lipid content of A. downingi ranged from 16.5 to 37.7 % (dry weight). The to...

The Effect of Chemical Thinning on Seasonal Changes of Mineral Nutrient Concentrations in Leaves and Fruits of ‘Soltani’ Apple Trees

ABSTRACT- The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of chemical thinning on seasonal variations of leaf and fruit mineral compositions of ‘Soltani’ apple trees. Treatments, including unthinned control, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 5 and 10 mg L-1, naphthaeneacetamide (NAD) at 25 and 50 mg L-1, benzyladenine (BA) at 50 and 100 mg L-1 and carbaryl at 500 and 1000 mg L-1 were appl...

Computational Approach to Seasonal Changes of Living Leaves

This paper proposes a computational approach to seasonal changes of living leaves by combining the geometric deformations and textural color changes. The geometric model of a leaf is generated by triangulating the scanned image of a leaf using an optimized mesh. The triangular mesh of the leaf is deformed by the improved mass-spring model, while the deformation is controlled by setting differen...
