Breeding for yield and quality requires the assessment of seed metrics vigour traits. This study, therefore, assessed variability inter-dependence grain (GY), morphometric traits in hybrid maize. Seeds 75 early maturing maize varieties were evaluated four replicates. A field trial laid out a randomised complete block design with three replicates was also conducted Ibadan, Nigeria, to determine ...

Objective. To study the pharmacological mechanisms of Siwu decoction (SWD) on primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) and verify with molecular docking. Methods. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database Analysis Platform (TCMSP) was utilized to acquire active compounds their corresponding target genes. GeneCards database in search for genes that were associated PDM. intersection from S...

Survival, germination, olive colonization, and water-use efficiency (WUE) impairments by Verticillium dahliae could be influenced cultivar susceptibility or irrigation, this modify the irrigation–pathogen–disease relationship. In study, combined effects of irrigation on wilt (VW) development were modelled temporary assessment V. propagules (total inoculum density, density micropropagules, scler...

Abstract Native to Southeast Asia, the spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, rapidly invaded America and Europe in past 20 years. As a crop pest of soft-skinned fruits with wide range host plants, it threatens fruit industry worldwide, causing enormous economic losses. To control this invasive species, an understanding its population dynamics structure is necessary. Here,...

Purpose Previous students' housing studies have neglected the need to study all-inclusive student and quality of services delivery among students with disability. This explores expectations in university living disabilities (SWDs) Ghana. Design/methodology/approach The adopted a mixed-methods approach, involving 423 SWD selected from five public three private universities across Grounded on Gap...

The Wheeler-DeWitt equation in quantum gravity is timeless in character. In order to discuss quantum to classical transition of the universe, one uses a time prescription in quantum gravity to obtain a time contained description starting from Wheeler-DeWitt equation and WKB ansatz for the WD wavefunction. The approach has some drawbacks. In this work, we obtain the time-contained Schroedinger-W...

Predicting the power obtained at output of photovoltaic (PV) system is fundamental for optimum use PV system. However, it varies different times day depending on intermittent and nonlinear environmental conditions including solar irradiation, temperature wind speed, Short-term prediction vital in systems to reconcile generation demand terms cost capacity reserve. In this study, a Gaussian kerne...

ICTAL FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING OF CHILDHOOD ABSENCE EPILEPSY Matthew Vestal (Sponsored by Hal Blumenfeld). Departments of Neurology, Neurobiology, and Neurosurgery, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT. Absence seizures in Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) are 5 – 10 second episodes of impaired consciousness that are characterized on electroencephalography (EEG) by frontally-predomin...

The applicability of the one-dimensional idealized flux theory (1DFT) for the design of secondary settling tanks (SSTs) is evaluated by comparing its predicted maximum surface overflow (SOR) and solids loading (SLR) rates with that calculated with the two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model SettlerCAD using as a basis 35 full-scale SST stress tests conducted on different SSTs with di...

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of weather events with heavy precipitation, making communities worldwide more vulnerable to flash flooding. As a result, accurate fore- nowcasting impending excessive rainfall is crucial for warning mitigating these hydro-meteorological hazards. The measurement integrated water vapour along slant paths made possible by ground-based global...
