Mexican lime is one of the commercial citrus cultivars in the world, which is commonly used as a citrus rootstock in the southern regions of Iran. This cultivar is one of the most sensitive citrus cultivars to cold stress and is used as a cold-sensitive plant in many citrus studies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin (0 and 500 μM), mannitol (0 and 50 μM), acetic acid (0 an...

This study evaluated the tolerance of mango cultivars ‘Haden’, ‘Palmer’, ‘Tommy Atkins’ and ‘Uba’ grafted on rootstock ‘Imbú’ to salt stress using chlorophyll fluorescence. Plants were grown in modified Hoagland solution containing 0, 15, 30, and 45 mmol L-1 NaCl. At 97 days the parameters of the chlorophyll fluorescence (F0, Fm, Fv, F0/Fm, Fv/Fm, Fv’/Fm’, ΦPSII = [(Fm’-Fs)/(Fm’)], D = (1Fv’/Fm...

The four experiments reported here measure listeners' accuracy and consistency in adjusting a formant frequency of one- or two-formant complex sounds to match the timbre of a target sound. By presenting the target and the adjustable sound on different fundamental frequencies, listeners are prevented from performing the task by comparing the absolute or relative levels of resolved spectral compo...

Amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) in speech signals are believed to reflect various non-linear phenomena during the speech production process. In this paper, the amplitude and frequency modulation patterns are analyzed for the first three speech resonances in relation to the fundamental frequency (F0). The formant tracks are estimated, and the resonant signals are extracte...

We consider a two-dimensional demodulation framework for spectro-temporal analysis of the speech signal. We construct narrowband (NB) speech spectrograms, and demodulate them using the Riesz transform, which is a two-dimensional extension of the Hilbert transform. The demodulation results in timefrequency envelope (amplitude modulation or AM) and timefrequency carrier (frequency modulation or F...

an investigation of chlorophyll quick fluorsence variations was made in the reaserch field of islamic azad university- karaj in 2007. the experimental design was a split plot one in form of a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. drought stress was cosiderded in three levels of 40%, 60%, and 75%, on the basis of depletion of soil moisture as the main factor and the factor of mic...
