Spinach leaf fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels increase rapidly during the first 15 minutes of a normal dark period followed by a gradual decline during the next 5 hours. The regulatory mechanism responsible for the dark-induced rise in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels can be counteracted by a brief exposure to light intensities greater than 1 microeinstein per square meter per second.

A closed system consisting of an assimilation chamber furnished with a membrane inlet from the liquid phase connected to a mass spectrometer was used to measure O(2) evolution and uptake by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells grown in ambient (0.034% CO(2)) or CO(2)-enriched (5% CO(2)) air. At pH = 6.9, 28 degrees C and concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) saturating for photosynthesi...

Mapping irrigated areas of a river basin is important in terms of assessing water use and food security. This paper describes an innovative remote sensing based vegetation phenological approach to map irrigated areas and then the differentiates the ground water irrigated areas from the surface water irrigated areas in the Krishna river basin (26,575,200 hectares) in India using MODIS 250 meter ...

This paper presents an auto-recognition method for pointer-type meter based on computer vision. Two calibrated cameras are located in the right and left sides of the meter to capture the meter displayed images. In each displayed image, the fast Hough transform method is used to locate the approximate pointer area and then the least squares fitting method is used to determine the precise line th...

The use of hospital point-of-care glucose meters in inpatient care is widely established despite unsolved issues regarding accuracy. The aim of this study was to validate the performance of the StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter (Nova Biomedical, Waltham, USA) in performing glycemic profile in hospitalized diabetic patients undergoing intensified insulin therapy. We investigated total imprecision...

to find the effect of atriplex canescens on soil chemical properties, two adjacent areas, each with and area of 1 ha, were selected in hossein abad hapeshloo shahryar. in one area it was planted atriplex canescens in 2003 while the later one without atriplex canescens was considered as control area. to sample soil, random- systematic method was used along 3 transects with a length of 100 m. in ...

OBJECTIVE To analyse changes in the distribution of BMI in Australia between 1980 and 2000. DESIGN Data were from the 1980, 1983 and 1989 National Heart Foundation Risk Factor Prevalence Study, the 1995 National Nutrition Survey and the 1999/2000 Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study. Survey participants were aged 25-64 years and resident in Australian capital cities. BMI was calcu...
