We investigated the interaction between extra-retinal rotation signals and retinal motion signals in heading perception during pursuit eye movement. For limited viewing aperture, the variability in perceived heading strongly depends on the pattern of motion directions. Heading towards a point outside the aperture generates nearly parallel aperture flow. This results in lower precision of percei...

The aim of the present study was to dissect the genetic inheritance and interplay of root, shoot and heading attributes for a better understanding of these traits in crop production. For this, we utilized quantitative trait loci (QTL) and candidate gene analysis approach using a second filial (F2) population originated from a cross between spring cultivar Cheri and wild barley accession ICB1811...

In the above-mentioned article [1] there is an error in the penultimate heading in Table 4. The heading ‘T predicted by equation (2)’ should read ‘T predicted by equation (7)’.

The current GPS signal structure and signal power levels are barely sufficient for indoor applications. Recent developments in high sensitivity receiver technology are promising for indoor positioning inside light structures such as wooden frame houses but generally not for concrete high rise buildings. Errors due to multipath and noise associated with weak indoor signals limit the accuracy and...

When moving toward a stationary scene, people judge their heading quite well from visual information alone. Much experimental and modeling work has been presented to analyze how people judge their heading for stationary scenes. However, in everyday life, we often move through scenes that contain moving objects. Most models have difficulty computing heading when moving objects are in the scene, ...

The genotypes of photoperiod response genes Ppd-B1 and Ppd-D1 in Japanese wheat cultivars were determined by a PCR-based method, and heading times were compared among genotypes. Most of the Japanese wheat cultivars, except those from the Hokkaido region, carried the photoperiod-insensitive allele Ppd-D1a, and heading was accelerated 10.3 days compared with the Ppd-D1b genotype. Early cultivars ...

Heading date and grain weight are two determining agronomic traits of crop yield. To date, molecular factors controlling both heading date and grain weight have not been identified. Here we report the isolation of a hemizygous mutation, heading and grain weight (hgw), which delays heading and reduces grain weight in rice. Analysis of hgw mutant phenotypes indicate that the hemizygous hgw mutati...

Recent years have brought forward different models on how the brain might encode heading from optic flow. Neurons in these models can encode heading for a variety of self-motion conditions, while responding to optic flow stimuli similarly as found in electrophysiological studies. Yet, little attention has been given to the receptive field structure of neurons that integrate local motion signals...

to evaluate interaction of salinity stress and nitrogen use methods on yield and yield components, in experiment was conducted in split plot in randomized complete block with 3 replications. treatments included: salinity of irrigation water levels 1.5, 4.4 and 7.9 ds/m as main plots, and nitrogen treatments 1. using n fertilizer at 3 stage in soil, 2. using two third n fertilizer in soil at pla...
