turfgrasses are usually important groundcover plants in many landscapes. they occupy the lowest surface of the landscape, close to pollutant particles. so, they can be an attractive option for environmental remediation. today, high concentrations of hazardous chemicals such as lead are among the most serious environmental problems. in vitro selection of turfgrass accumulator or tolerant of toxi...

in the present study, a field study was performed on some herbaceous plants growing in thesoutheast of ahvaz, where some metal producing industries are active. the aim of this studywas to investigate and compare manganese (mn) and zinc (zn) accumulation in seven dominantherbaceous plants in this area. plant samples were collected randomly. associated soils weresampled from the same sites next t...

the sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (snrk2) family members are plant unique serine/threonine kinases which play a key role in cellular signaling in response to abiotic stresses. the three snrk2 members including srk2d, srk2i and srk2e are known to phosphorylate major abscisic acid (aba) responsive transcription factors, abf2 and abf4, involved in an aba-dependent stress signal...

A metric space is said to be locally non-compact if every neighborhood contains a sequence that is bounded away from every element of the space, hence contains no accumulation point. We show within recursive mathematics that a nonvoid complete metric space is locally non-compact iff it is without isolated points. The result has an interesting consequence in computable analysis: If a complete me...

Inspired by a dynamic approach to recognition memory (Cox & Shiffrin, 2012), we present results from a recognition memory experiment in which the time at which diagnostic information arrives is unconsciously varied. Contrary to the predictions of most models, performance improves when diagnostic information is available later, rather than earlier. These results are accounted for by a dynamic mo...

•O = {1, . . . , n} is the set of data object to cluster. •K is the number of desired classes. • E = {cli}i=1 is the esemble of N clusterings of O. The ensemble is obtained by running different algorithms with different. parametrizations on (possibly) sub-sampled versions of the original dataset. • each clustering is a function cli : Oi → {1, . . . , Ki} from the set of objects Oi ⊆ O to a clas...

Specialism is widespread in nature, generating and maintaining diversity, but recent work has demonstrated that generalists can be equally fit as specialists in some shared environments. This no-cost generalism challenges the maxim that 'the jack of all trades is the master of none', and requires evolutionary genetic mechanisms explaining the existence of specialism and no-cost generalism, and ...

This paper explores the cumulative sustainable supply chain (SC) capabilities and their effects on supply chain performance, including economic, environmental, and social performance. Using empirical analyses with data from 198 smalland medium-sized suppliers in Korea, this paper provides evidence about the cumulative sustainable SC capabilities, indicating that economic, social, and environmen...
