Epistatic interaction between the Arabidopsis FRI and FLC flowering time genes generates a latitudinal cline in a life history trait

محاسبه نیمه تحلیلی پارامترهای سوخت برای گداخت افروزش شوکی

In this paper, semi-analytical relations of total energy, fuel gain and hot-spot radius in a non-isobaric model have been derived and compared with Schmitt (2010) numerical calculations for shock ignition scenario. in nuclear fusion. Results indicate that the approximations used by Rosen (1983) and Schmitt (2010) for the calculation of burn up fraction have not enough accuracy compared with num...

Applying developmental threshold models to evolutionary ecology.

Process-based models of development predict developmental rates and phenology as a function of physiological responses to multiple dynamic environmental factors. These models can be adapted to analyze diverse processes in evolutionary ecology. By linking models across life stages, they can predict life cycles and generation times. By incorporating fitness, they can identify environmental and ph...

Multiple FLC haplotypes defined by independent cis-regulatory variation underpin life history diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Relating molecular variation to phenotypic diversity is a central goal in evolutionary biology. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a major determinant of variation in vernalization--the acceleration of flowering by prolonged cold. Here, through analysis of 1307 A. thaliana accessions, we identify five predominant FLC haplotypes defined by noncoding sequence variation. Genetic a...

Contribution of Academic Vocabulary and Academic Self-Concept to Academic Listening Comprehension of Undergraduate Students of Engineering

The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of academic vocabulary knowledge and academic listening self-concept to the academic listening comprehension of Iranian Engineering students. The participants of this study were 147 undergraduate students at the Iran University of Science and Technology. A revised version of the academic self-concept questionnaire developed by Liu and ...
