The Hayward Tuning Vine is a software interface for exploring the system of microtonal tuning known as Just Intonation. Based ultimately on prime number relationships, harmonic space in Just Intonation is inherently multidimensional, with each prime number tracing a unique path in space. Taking this multidimensionality as its point of departure, the Tuning Vine interface assigns a unique angle ...

alpha,alpha-Trehalose induced a rapid blackening of the terminal 2.5-centimeter region of excised Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. vine. The incorporation of radioactivity from [(14)C]glucose into alkali-insoluble fraction of shoot tip was markedly inhibited by 12 hours of trehalose feeding to an excised vine. This inhibition was confined to the apical segment of the vine in which cell elongation occurred...

We develop Bayesian inference of a multivariate GARCH model where the dependence is introduced by a D-vine copula on the innovations. A D-vine copula is a special case of vine copulas which are a relatively new and very flexible concept to construct multivariate copulas. In particular it allows to model dependency between pairs of margins individually. In a simulation study and three real data ...

The Australian grape-growing and wine producing industry enjoyed meteoric growth from the early 1990s onwards, with wine sales forming an increasingly important element of both national export earnings and farm-sector income. Despite this success, a recent downward slump in industry profitability and a dampening of demand for wine has resulted in a call for governmentassisted intervention, whic...

Colour development in fruit of Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis ‘Hort16A’, the new yellowfleshed cultivar produced commercially in New Zealand, was monitored during three seasons in four 42 New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 2003, Vol. 31 The pericarp of ‘Hort16A’ fruit changes from a light green colour to a light yellow colour as fruit develop on the vine. Virtually no co...

salinity is one of the most important limiting factors for crops, because of most agronomic and horticultural crops are sensitive to salinity. on the other hands, considerable lands of the world were affected by salinity and they are increasing day by day. an experiment was conducted with five levels of irrigation water salinity in soilless culture and greenhouse condition to evaluate the effec...

We apply standard Merton and enhanced Merton-D-Vine copula model for the measurement of credit risk on the basis of accounting and stock market data for 4 companies from Prague Stock Exchange, in the midterm horizon of 4 years. Basic Merton structural credit model is based on assumption that firm equity is European option on company assets. Consequently enhanced Merton model take in account mar...

in this study, a landrace melon zarde jalali as the scion and commercial varieties of cucurbita rootstocks cv., shintozwa and ferro-rz was used as the rootstock. grafted plants upon commercial varieties of cucurbita with own-rooted and ungrafted at three irrigation levels of 60, 80 and 100% (respectively 4984.32, 6124.82 and 7239.41 m3ha-1) based on total available water depletion with drip irr...

A new combination in Matelea (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) for an endemic Jamaican vine is proposed.

BACKGROUND High-throughput amplicon sequencing spanning conserved portions of microbial genomes (16s rRNA and ITS) was used in the present study to describe the endophytic microbiota associated with three apple varieties, "Royal Gala," "Golden Delicious," and "Honey Crisp," and two rootstocks, M.9 and M.M.111. The objectives were to (1) determine if the microbiota differs in different rootstock...
