Phenological change of plants is an indication of local and regional climate change, independent of the instrumentation records and associated bias/error. Although some phenological changes have been identified for native and perennial species and used to infer climate change in various regions of the world, little has been known for changes in agricultural plants/crops. In this study, heading ...

We recall that according to [3], a function φ : X → [−∞,∞) is called quasiplurisubharmonic (quasi-psh for short) if it is locally equal to the sum of a smooth function and a plurisubharmonic (psh) function. Then there exist a constant C ∈ R such that √ −1∂∂φ ≥ −Cω in the sense of currents on X . We say that a function ψ has logarithmic poles if for each open set U ⊂ X there exist a family of ho...

Within the hierarchy of motion perception, the dorsolateral middle superior temporal area (MSTd) is optimally suited for the analysis of the complex motion patterns that are directly useful for visually guided behaviour (e.g. computation of heading). Recent electrophysiological and psychophysical evidence suggests the existence of ‘detectors’ in MSTd that are specialised for complex motion patt...
