abstract in order to evaluate of yield and yield components of eight wheat cultivars against flix weed (descurainia sophia), an experiment was conducted using a factorial arrangement of treatments in a randomized complete block design with four replications during 2003-2004 growing season in varamin region. the wheat cultivars were tabasi, roshan, karaj2, azadi, niknejad, mahdavi, shiraz and pi...

Caenorhabditis elegans odr-2 mutants are defective in the ability to chemotax to odorants that are recognized by the two AWC olfactory neurons. Like many other olfactory mutants, they retain responses to high concentrations of AWC-sensed odors; we show here that these residual responses are caused by the ability of other olfactory neurons (the AWA neurons) to be recruited at high odor concentra...

The Language Environment Analysis system LENATM is used to capture day-long recordings of children’s natural audio environment. The system performs automated segmentation of the recordings and provides estimates for various measures. One of those measures is Adult Word Count (AWC), an approximation of the number of words spoken by adults in close proximity to the child. The LENA system was deve...

Harmful algal blooms expose humans and animals to microcystins (MCs) through contaminated drinking water. While hepatotoxicity following acute exposure to MCs is well documented, neurotoxicity after sub-lethal exposure is poorly understood. We developed a novel statistical approach using a generalized linear model and the quasibinomial family to analyze neurotoxic effects in adult Caenorhabditi...

Zielsetzung Cardiovascular comorbidity anticipates poor prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) and correlates with the systemic atherosclerotic transformation arterial vessels. The amount aortic wall calcification (AWC) can be estimated on low-dose chest CT. We suggest quantification AWC CT, which is initially performed for diagnosis COVID-19, to screen patients at risk severe COVID-19.

The two pairs of sensory neurons of C. elegans, AWA and AWC, that mediate odorant attraction, express six Galpha-subunits, suggesting that olfaction is regulated by a complex signaling network. Here, we describe the cellular localization and functions of the six olfactory Galpha-subunits: GPA-2, GPA-3, GPA-5, GPA-6, GPA-13, and ODR-3. All except GPA-6 localize to sensory cilia, suggesting a dir...

Abstract Growing crop production increases agricultural water consumption (AWC), but whether these two factors are matched in northern and southern China the past decades remains controversial. Here we used a remote sensing‐based water‐carbon coupling model combined with satellite observations to quantify production, AWC, deficit changes over 2003–2018. We show that China, AWC significantly ( p...
