データ同化では，ベイズ統計学に基づいて観測データとシミュレーションを融合させることで，観測対象の詳細を推定することができる．このデータ同化手法の1つである粒子フィルタを高速原子間力顕微鏡データと分子シミュレーションに適用するためのプロトコルを開発し，観測不可能な特性が推定できるかどうかを検証した．

Supplementary lighting is frequently applied in the winter season for crop production in greenhouses. The effect of supplementary lighting on plant growth depends on the balance between assimilate production in source leaves and the overall capacity of the plants to use assimilates. This study aims at quantifying the source-sink balance and carbohydrate content of three tomato cultivars differi...

in recent years, there has been a great concern about strategic supply chain management. the supply chain configuration approach is related to strategic management of material and information flows. most of suggested configurations in the part of strategic direction are based on environmental factors and structure-conduct-performance approach. exploring supply chain configuration with emphasis ...

This article attempts to provide an overview of the key metadata research issues and the current projects and initiatives that are investigating methods and developing technologies aimed at improving our ability to discover, access, retrieve, and assimilate information on the Internet through the use of metadata.

This study uses the concept of absorptive capacity to provide a framework for exploring benefit realization in the post-implementation phase of ERP systems. Success factors of ERP adoption such as: training, communication, process change, and integration extension are organized into two types of knowledge absorptive capacity: potential capacity and realization capacity. This study proposes that...

drought is the most restricting factor in agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions. this research was conducted on 19 facultative and winter wheat genotypes grown under normal irrigation (n), early post-anthesis (s1), and late post-anthesis (s2) drought stress conditions. the experiments were conducted at karadj, arak, and jolgehrokh agricultural research stations in iran, during 2...

Silicon (Si) improves plant growth and development especially under stress conditions. Although Si alleviates suppression deficiency symptoms of several nutrient disorders, underlying regulatory processes have remained indefinite. Here, we analyzed the impact on nutritional, metabolic transcriptional responses in roots shoots barley subjected to potassium (K) deficiency. On long run, nutrition ...

We developed a simple method for the identification of Candida glabrata on the basis of the ability of this species to rapidly assimilate trehalose but not sucrose. After incubation of yeasts with Rosco diagnostic tablets containing sucrose or trehalose, identification of C. glabrata was achieved in 4 h with 100% sensitivity and specificity.

Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC has been isolated from swine intestines and considered a probiotic strain for dairy products because of its ability to assimilate cholesterol and produce bacteriocins. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC (2,078,001 bp) exhibiting strong acid resistance and enhanced bile tolerance.

coherence but by its concrete coherence—by its power to "assimilate" any and all alien beliefs, to change without annihilating such beliefs. In still other words, it is to take all thoughts captive to Christ (Ch. 6, pp. 147-79), even difficult thoughts like
