A conserved positive-acting RNA sequence was found to be required for the neuron-specific splicing of the mouse c-src N1 exon. The sequence lies in the intron between exons N1 and 4, close to the N1 donor site. Normally, only the neural-specific splicing of exon N1 required this sequence. When the intron downstream of N1 was shortened, splicing at the constitutive exon 4 acceptor also became de...

Objectives: Children’s auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) are dominated by the P1 and N2 peaks, while the N1 wave emerges between 3 and 4 years of age. The neural substrates and the behavioral correlates of the protracted N1 maturation, as well as of the 10-year long predominance of the N2 are unclear. The present study utilized high-resolution electroencephalography to study the maturati...

Let N , N1 and N2 be point processes such that N1 is obtained from N by homogeneous independent thinning and N2 = N −N1. We give a new elementary proof that N1 and N2 are independent if and only if N is a Poisson point process. We present some applications of this result to test if a homogeneous point process is a Poisson point process.

Abstract. Let X1, ..., Xn1 be a random sample from a population with mean μ1 and variance σ 2 1 , and Y1, ..., Yn2 be a random sample from another population with mean μ2 and variance σ 2 2 independent of {Xi, 1 ≤ i ≤ n1}. Consider the two sample t-statistic T = X̄−Ȳ −(μ1−μ2) √ s1/n1+s 2 2/n2 . This paper shows that lnP (T ≥ x) ∼ −x2/2 for any x := x(n1, n2) satisfying x → ∞, x = o(n1 + n2) as n...

Improvements in nitrogen (N) use efficiency reduce stress on the environment and improve tomato production. A two-year trial was conducted greenhouse tomatoes with a split-plot design, which one factor N application rate (150 kg·ha?1, N1; 200 N2; 250 N3) two other factors were type of urea applied (urea, T1; slow-release (polymer-coated) urea, T2, nitrification inhibitors (3,4-dimethylpyrazole ...

Cotton is the main economic crop in China and important owing to its use as an industrial raw material a cash crop. This experiment was conducted cotton-producing area of Xinjiang, China. A hyperspectrometer used monitor canopy spectral reflectance cotton at different stages growth. The results showed that leaf index (LAI) increased with increase amount nitrogen fertilizer added during early fu...

Potatoes require water and fertilizer management systems to optimize economic outcomes use, especially in arid areas such as Ningxia, China. In this study, three irrigation quotas (1200 (W1), 1650 (W2), 2100 (W3) m3/hm2) nitrogen application treatments (110 (N1), 190 (N2), 270 (N3) kg/hm2) were evaluated. Potato growth, final yield, quality indices assessed relation fertility periods, utilizati...

and Applied Analysis 3 If one of the following conditions ii ψ ◦ φ−1 is concave and ψ−1 is operator monotone, ii′ ψ ◦ φ−1 is convex and −ψ−1 is operator monotone, is satisfied, then the reverse inequality is valid in 1.7 . In this paper we study an extension of Jensen’s inequality given in Theorem A. As an application of this result, we give an extension of Theorem B for a version of the quasia...

We provide the proofs for the theorems in the main paper. 1 Proofs for Planted Clustering In this section, Theorems 1–6 refer to the theorems in the main paper. Equations are numbered continuously from the main paper. We let n1 := rK and n2 := n − rK be the numbers of nonisolated and isolated nodes, respectively. 1.1 Proof of Theorem 1 The proof relies on information theoretical arguments and t...

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of crude oil price on global fertilizer prices in both the mean and volatility. The endogenous structural breakpoint unit root test, ARDL model, and alternative volatility models, including GARCH, EGARCH, and GJR models, are used to investigate the relationship between crude oil price and six global fertilizer prices. The empirical result...
