Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is an important food, feed, and cash crop in rice-based agricultural ecosystems Southeast Asia other continents. It has the potential to enhance livelihoods due its palatability, nutritional content, digestibility. We evaluated 166 diverse mungbean genotypes two seasons using multivariate multi-traits index approaches identify superior genotypes. The total ...

Aim/purpose – In this paper, a market volatility-robust portfolio composition frame- work under the modified Markowitz’s approach with use of sampling methods is developed in order to improve allocation efficiency for financial in- struments formulation procedure at an increased volatility. Design/methodology/approach overcome risk not receiving optimal solution optimization (suboptimal outcome...

Compared with moderate- and heavy-intensity exercise, the adjustment of O2 uptake (VO2) to exercise intensities that elicit peak VO2 has received relatively little attention. This study examined the VO2 response of 21 young, healthy subjects (25 +/- 6 yr; mean +/- SD) during cycle ergometer exercise to step transitions in work rate (WR) corresponding to 90, 100, and 110% of the peak WR achieved...

Rong, Qinfen, Olga Utevskaya, Marlon Ramilo, Dar C. Chow, and John G. Forte. Nucleotide metabolism by gastric glands and H1-K1-ATPase-enriched membranes. Am. J. Physiol. 274 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 37): G103–G110, 1998.—a-Toxin-permeabilized gastric glands represent a functional model in which acid secretion can be elicited by either adenosine 38,58-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) or ATP, wit...

Although the reproductive behavior of yellow perch Perca flavescens has been well documented in small systems, relatively little is known about the spawning preferences of yellow perch in large systems, such as the Laurentian Great Lakes. During 2006 and 2007, we compared the presence and abundance adult yellow perch during the spring spawning season with environmental variables in the western ...

The effects of grain boundary character on the intergranular corrosion susceptibility of 2124 aluminum alloy were examined. In the study, the alloy was heat treated at 540oC and corrosion tested according to ASTM G110 standards. After obtaining grain orientations from the automated Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction (EBSD), both grain boundary character and grain boundary plane distributions wer...

The“giant component” has remained a guiding theme in the theory of random graphs ever since the seminal paper of Erdős and Rényi [Magayar Tud. Akad. Mat. Kutato Int. Kozl. 5 (1960) 17–61]. Because for any k ≥ 3 the k-core, defined as the (unique) maximal subgraph of minimum degree k, is identical to the largest kconnected subgraph of the random graph w.h.p., the k-core is perhaps the most natur...

Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is a subset of cutaneous vasculitis (CV), characterized clinically by urticarial skin lesions of more than 24 hours’ duration and histologically by leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We assessed the frequency, clinical features, treatment, and outcome of a series of patients with UV. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with UV included in a large series of unsele...
