Tomatoes are usually consumed daily in the human diet. High temperatures reduce number of tomato yields per year. Heat stress has been considered one most prominent causes alterations morphological and molecular characteristics crops that decrease normal growth, production, yield diverse plants, including tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). In this study, we evaluated six lines, namely G1, G2, ...

Mild, non-acidic cordons used in the n~-~u~us ~~~~ of a 2-~o~n~~~e nu&uside with t-butyi nitrite gave an unexpected ~~~~~~-2~e nuckoside which was not formed when primary a&y1 nitrites were used. The isolated compounds were evaluated for activity against herpesviruses and for cytotoxicity against human foreskin fibroblast cells. Benzimidazoles have demonstrated widespread biological activity ra...

Recent advances in high-resolution 3D breast imaging, namely, digital breast tomosynthesis and dedicated breast CT, have enabled detailed analysis of the shape and distribution of anatomical structures in the breast. Such analysis is critically important, since the projections of breast anatomical structures make up the parenchymal pattern in clinical images which can mask the existing abnormal...

This thesis is concerned with the transformation of the Large Deviation properties of a stochastic process under a random time-change. A random time-change is the reparametrisation of a process by a lower adjoint process; a simple example is the sequence of random variables fSTn gn2N constructed by stopping a process fSt gt2R+ at a sequence of random times f Tn gn2N . Such a sequence of random ...

The reorientation transition of themagnetization of ferromagnetic films is studied on a microscopic basis within Heisenberg spin models. Analytic expressions for the temperature dependent anisotropy are derived from which it is seen that the reduced magnetization in the film surface at finite temperatures plays a crucial role for this transition. Detailed phase diagrams in the temperature-thick...
