The Non-invasive Micro-test Technique (NMT) is used to measure dynamic changes of specific ions/molecules non-invasively, but information about hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) fluxes in different classes of roots by mycorrhiza is scarce in terms of NMT. Effects of Funneliformis mosseae on plant growth, H2O2, superoxide radical (O2·-), malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, and H2O2 fluxes in the taproo...

Continuous measurements of the surface energy balance components (net radiation Rn, sensible heat flux H, latent heat flux LE, ground heat flux G, and CO2 fluxes began in early June of 1995 at the Little Washita Watershed, near Chickasha, Oklahoma. A severe drought during 1998 provided a unique opportunity to evaluate the range of fluxes that can be expected during the summer period. Data obtai...

This paper introduces an inequality on vectors in $mathbb{R}^n$ which compares vectors in $mathbb{R}^n$ based on the $p$-norm of their projections on $mathbb{R}^k$ ($kleq n$). For $p>0$, we say $x$ is $d$-projectionally less than or equal to $y$ with respect to $p$-norm if $sum_{i=1}^kvert x_ivert^p$ is less than or equal to $ sum_{i=1}^kvert y_ivert^p$, for every $dleq kleq n$. For...

The observed genetic gain (DeltaP) from selection in a finite population is the possible expected genetic gain E(Delta G) minus the difference in inbreeding depression effects in the selected and control lines. The inbreeding depression can be avoided by crossing the control and selected male symbol and female symbol parents to unrelated mates and summing the observed gains. The possible expect...

for UCL, 27 November, 2013 Are all opposites equal – or are some more equal than others? Carita Paradis, Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University At the one extreme, antonyms show up as strongly associated pairs such as long–short, heavy–light, hot–cold and good–bad along the dimensions of LENGTH, WEIGHT, TEMPERATURE and MERIT, respectively, While other pairs appear to be less obvio...
