Effects of moderate heat on growth and photosynthesis were investigated in two clonal genotypes of Acer rubrum L., originally collected from the thermally contrasting habitats of Florida and Minnesota, USA, and known in the horticultural trade for sensitivity and insensitivity to heat, respectively. Under both common garden and warm greenhouse conditions (day/night temperature of 33/25 degrees ...

We study the spherical collapse model in dark energy cosmologies, in which dark energy is modelled as a minimally coupled scalar field. We first follow the standard assumption that dark energy does not cluster on the scales of interest. Investigating four different popular potentials in detail, we show that the predictions of the spherical collapse model depend on the potential used. We also in...

Relationships found between Compact Airborne Specfluorescence: the curvature index R6832/(R675·R691) and trographic Imager (CASI) hyperspectral canopy reflecthe R685/R655 ratio calculated from the canopy reflectance measurements at laboratory and field levels with tance are related to leaf-measured Ft, Fm9 and DF/Fm9 PAM-2000 chlorophyll fluorescence data are presented. steady-state features, a...

We studied morphological and physiological leaf and whole-plant features of seedlings of six late-successional woody species common in the Xishuangbanna lowland rain forest in southwest China. Study species differed in adult stature and shade tolerance and included the shrubs Lasianthus attenuatus Jack and Lasianthus hookeri C.B. Clarke ex Hook. f.; the sub-canopy species Barringtonia macrostac...

Wood structure and wood anatomy are usually considered to be largely independent of the physiological processes that govern tree growth. This paper reports a statistical relationship between leaf and bark chlorophyll fluorescence and wood density. A relationship between leaf and bark chlorophyll fluorescence and the quantity of wood decay in a tree is also described. There was a statistically s...

Adenosine is a neuromodulator in the CNS that mainly acts through pre- and postsynaptic A(1) receptors to inhibit the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and NMDA receptor function. This might result from a highly localized distribution of A(1) receptors in the active zone and postsynaptic density of CNS synapses that we now investigated in the rat hippocampus. The binding density of the se...

BACKGROUND This investigation characterized the time-history pattern of the free moment (FM) during walking and, additionally, assessed whether walking with either an internally or externally rotated foot position altered the FM's time-history. METHODS Force plate and foot kinematic data were acquired simultaneously for 11 healthy subjects (6 males, 5 females) while walking at their self-sele...

thesis were investigated in two clonal genotypes of Acer rubrum L., originally collected from the thermally contrasting habitats of Florida and Minnesota, USA, and known in the horticultural trade for sensitivity and insensitivity to heat, respectively. Under both common garden and warm greenhouse conditions (day/night temperature of 33/25 °C), the Florida genotype exhibited more growth than th...

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment play an important role in combating the mortality and morbidity caused by Tuberculosis and a rapid, reliable microscopy that can detect acid fast bacilli can be a very useful diagnostic modality. We have evaluated the performance of Light Emitting Diode Fluorescence Microscopy as an alternative to the existing conventional methods in the diagnosis of Pu...

In this paper, ‎The powers of fuzzy neutrosophic soft square matrices (FNSSMs) under the operations $oplus(=max)$ and $otimes(=min)$ are studied‎. ‎We show that the powers of a given FNSM stabilize if and only if its orbits stabilize for each starting fuzzy neutrosophic soft vector (FNSV) and prove a necessary and sufficient condition for this property using the associated graphs of the FNSM‎. ...
