plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. monodehydroascorbate reductase (mdhar), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ros). in this study, mdha...

The mechanism of greenhouse tomato growth and yield under the integrated water fertilizer moistube irrigation (MI) is not clear. Thus, to fill research gap, a completely randomized trial design was used study effects different amounts (I; realize I, tube working pressure 1 (I1), 2 (I2), 3 (I3) m) (F, N-P-K: 20%-20%-20%; F at single time 100 (F1), 200 (F2) 300 (F3) kg/ha) on tomato. results show...

In a brief communication to this journal, entitled “Basic Properties of Both Percentile Rank Scores and the I3 Indicator,” Rousseau (in press) proposed to define percentile classes in the case of the Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) right-open so that the largest number in a set always belongs to the highest percentile. He argued that “this completely solves the issue raised by Leydesdorff & Bo...

B ackground: The T cell attracting chemokine CCL18 is produced by antigen presenting cells and a role for CCLI8 has been suggested in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of these conditions, in which abundant CCL18 production is present. Although Th2 cytokines and IL-10 are known to have an effect on CCLI8 production, there are several gaps in our knowled...

The present study was performed to identify sequence(s) in the third intracellular loop (i3) of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 subtype (M4 receptor) involved in its internalization and recycling. In transiently transfected human embryonic kidney 293-tsA201 cells, 40 to 50% of cell-surface M4 receptors are internalized in an agonist-dependent manner, and approximately 65% of internaliz...

This study attempts to compare the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the 40 mm High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) surface resonator at 77 K and the 35 mm commercial quadrature (QD) surface resonator at 300 K in a 3 Tesla (T) MRI imager. To aquire images for the comparison, we implemented a phantom experiment using the 40 mm diameter Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox (Bi-2223) HTS surface resonator, the 35 mm com...

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of NaCl (0 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM and 300 mM) on germination, seedling growth and acid phosphatase activity of Linum usitatissimum seeds. Flax seeds were germinated under control and saline (100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl) conditions and the effect of salt stress on germination and enzyme activity was determined. Final germina...

As discussed in Section 4.1 in the main paper, we have observed that when simultaneously examining more than two pairs of frames, correct feature matches are more consistent with other correct matches than with other incorrect matches. As an example, when frame I1 correctly matches frame I2, and frame I2 correctly matches frame I3, then it is very likely that I1 also matches I3. For incorrect m...
