Thermal reversion of the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome to the red absorbing form in darkness has been investigated in crude and partially purified isolates from a number of etiolated and light grown higher plants. The influence of temperature, aging and urea on the rate of reversion was also determined.Phytochrome isolated from all higher plants underwent reversion. The reversion procee...

Angiosperm flowers are usually determinate structures that may produce seeds. In some species, flowers can revert from committed flower development back to an earlier developmental phase in a process called floral reversion. The allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica displays photoperiod-dependent floral reversion in a subset of its flowers, yet little is known about the environmental conditions enh...

Protoplasts of Bacillus subtilis plated on SD medium form L colonies in quantitative yield and propagate in the L form indefinitely. L bodies or protoplasts placed in 25% gelatin medium form bacillary colonies. Details of the reversion of naked bodies to the walled form are reported. In 25% gelatin medium, reversion begins earlier (about 50% reversion in 4 hr) than the multiplication of bacilli...

The complex magnetic and structural properties of Co-doped Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys have been investigated by using a combination of first-principles calculations and classical Monte Carlo simulations. We have restricted the investigations to systems with 0, 5 and 9 at% Co. Ab initio calculations show the presence of the ferrimagnetic order of austenite and martensite depending on the compositio...

This research focuses on the stability of three metastableβ titanium alloys – Ti-10V-1Fe-3Al (T i −1013), Ti-10V-2Cr-3Al (T i −102Cr 3) and Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al-B (T i −1023B). In the first stage of the work, new β+ (α+β) heat treatment schemes were designed on the basis of Thermo-Calc® simulations and previous research work and carried out to such an extent that the β phase stability is tuned to the...

The background to this bachelor thesis is an on-going project within the VINN Excellence Center Hero-m. The task in this thesis is to perform a literature survey about the martensite transformation and investigate how the resulting fraction depends on cooling below the Ms-temperature. Instead of calculating the undercooling for each of the known fractions of martensite the driving force will be...

On-line portfolio selection has attracted increasing interests in machine learning and AI communities recently. Empirical evidence show that stock’s high and low prices are temporary and stock price relatives are likely to follow the mean reversion phenomenon. While the existing mean reversion strategies are shown to achieve good empirical performance on many real datasets, they often make the ...

BACKGROUND The CPCRA 064 study examined the effect of structured treatment interruption (STI) of up to 4 months followed by salvage treatment in patients failing therapy with multi-drug resistant HIV. We examined the relationship between the reversion rate of major reverse transcriptase (RT) resistance-associated mutations and change in viral replication capacity (RC). The dataset included 90 p...
