Rising temperature has adversely affected wheat production globally. In this realm we studied various morpho-physiological traits governing heat tolerance using thirty bread RILs developed via crossing LOK-1 x HUW- 468, LOK 1 HUW 234 and Raj-4014 PBN-51. Correlation studies reflected that like number of tillers per plant, plant height, chlorophyll content were significantly positive correlated ...

Self-standing highly crystallized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) mono-, bi- and few-layers have been obtained for the first time via the Polymer Derived Ceramics (PDCs) route by adding lithium nitride (Li₃N) micropowders to liquid-state polyborazylene (PBN). Incorporation of Li₃N as a crystallization promoter allows the onset of crystallization of h-BN at a lower temperature (1200 °C) than unde...

Primary bud necrosis in grapevine is a physiological disorder observed in the compound buds. This study was conducted to investigate the anatomical changes in cv. Askari grapevine in winter dormant buds. Bud samples were taken from Askari grapevine at Sisakht vineyards, south-western of Iran. Compound buds were dissected and assessed under a binocular microscope at 10-40x magnification and a di...

We study the complexity of network dynamics in a couple of very different model classes: The traditional random Boolean networks (RBN) and Frisch-Hasslacher-Pomeau lattice gas automata (FHP). For this we formulate the FHP dynamics as a probabilistic Boolean network (PBN). We use the set complexity of successive network states to assess the complexity of the dynamics. We find that the complexity...

Introduction Obesity is a serious global health problem due to its increasing prevalence and comorbidities. Over 30% of Americans are obese (1). Obese individuals are at an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. These observations highlight the urgent need to better understand the physiology of body weight control, which may facilitate the development...

The convergence time for training back propagation neural network for image compression is slow as compared to other traditional image compression techniques. This article proposes a pre-processing technique i.e. Pre-processed Back propagation neural image compression (PBN) with an enhancement in performance measures like better convergence time with respect to decoded picture quality and compr...

BACKGROUND Signal transduction networks are increasingly studied with mathematical modelling approaches while each of them is suited for a particular problem. For the contextualisation and analysis of signalling networks with steady-state protein data, we identified probabilistic Boolean network (PBN) as a promising framework which could capture quantitative changes of molecular changes at stea...
