A decline in growth, flowering, and boll (fruit) retention is referred to as cutout in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Fruit load affects cutout, possibly through hormonal effects. Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that fruits are a source of abscisic acid (ABA) that moves into fruiting branches and growing points where it inhibits growth, flowering, and boll retention. Removal ...

We report observations at mid-infrared and sub-millimeter wavelengths of Centaurus A (Cen A, NGC 5128), the giant elliptical galaxy that harbors the closest radio loud Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) to Earth. The dust emission from the deep interior of Cen A reveals a bisymmetric structure with a diameter of 5 (5 kpc), centred at the AGN. This structure is remarkably similar to that of a barred ...

A range of elliptical undulators (EU) has recently been constructed at ELETTRA, whose main parameters are listed in Table 1 below. They are all based on the APPLE-II scheme [1], but two different terminations have been used due to specific installation requirements. Also, one of them (EU12.5) features a quasi-periodic field to suit special beamline needs. The minimum magnetic gap corresponds to...

In this study, efficient methods for optimal sensor placement (OSP) based on a new geometrical viewpoint for damage detection in structures is presented. The purpose is to minimize the effects of noise on the damage detection process. In the geometrical viewpoint, a sensor location is equivalent to projecting the elliptical noise on to a face of response space which is corresponding to the sens...

Many Forth systems provide means to call C functions, but these interfaces are not designed to be portable between platforms: A call to a C library function that works on one platform may fail on the next platform, because the parameter and return value types of the C function may be different. In this paper, we present an interface that avoids this problem: In particular, the actual calls can ...

In this study, effect of square cutout and beam widths on eigenvalue buckling analysis beams is evaluated using finite element Taguchi methods. ANSYS software used to perform the analyses were conducted L9 orthogonal array with three control factors. Each factor has levels. The first considered as position whereas second was assumed widths. influence levels cutouts responses determined signal-t...

Iodine molecules confined in the elliptical nanochannels of AlPO4-11 crystals can only rotate in the plane passing through the major axis of the elliptical cross-section due to size confinement. This leads to different dynamic behaviors of iodine from those confined in round channels of AlPO4-5 crystals under ambient conditions. In this work, we use high pressure technology to manipulate the na...

We present general results on the identifiability of finite mixtures of elliptical distributions under conditions on the characteristic generators or density generators. Examples include the multivariate t distribution, symmetric stable laws, exponential power and Kotz distributions. In each case, the shape parameter is allowed to vary in the mixture, in addition to the location vector and the ...
