Flowering control is one of the several strategies for gene containment of transgenic plants. TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) is known to be involved in the transcriptional repression of genes for inflorescence development. Two TFL1 transcripts with different 3' UTR were cloned from black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplificat...

Apricot is a fruit demanded and consumed in variety of ways by consumers. has kernel inside it. Due to limited knowledge bioactive compounds, apricot kernels were predicted as food waste the past, they had no economic value. Awareness nutrition compounds increased recently, idea emerged that healthy its fruit, therefore science research focused on examining properties kernels. In this study, sw...

Performing agricultural analysis is becoming much more effortless due to the rapid improvements in information technologies. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide detailed data about climate, soil, topography, and irrigation values regarding agriculture; thus, allowing for performing location analyses. These analyses cover investment maps, propriety areas, plant pattern detections. The p...

We have used the generalized linearization technique based on the concept of influence function, as Osier has done (Osier 2009), to estimate the variance of complex statistics such as Laeken indicators. Simulations conducted using the R language show that the use of Gaussian kernel estimation to estimate an income density function results in a strongly biased variance estimate. We are proposing...

We describe an efficient algorithm which computes the Gaussian kernel correlation integral from noisy time series; this is subsequently used to estimate the underlying correlation dimension and noise level in the noisy data. The algorithm first decomposes the integral core into two separate calculations, reducing computing time from O(N2xN(b)) to O(N2+N(2)(b)). With other further improvements, ...

We consider L-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations with Hartree type nonlinearity i∂tu = −∆u− ` Φ ∗ |u| ́ u in R, where Φ(x) is a perturbation of the convolution kernel |x|. Despite the lack of pseudo-conformal invariance for this equation, we prove the existence of critical mass finite-time blowup solutions u(t, x) that exhibit the pseudoconformal blowup rate L2x ∼ 1 |t| as t ր 0. ...
