Internode length is one of the decisive factors affecting plant height (PH) and ear height (EH), which are closely associated with the lodging resistance, biomass and grain yield of maize. miRNAs, currently recognized as important transcriptional/ post-transcriptional regulators, play an essential role in plant growth and development. However, their roles in developing internodes under maize ea...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare nostril height, width, collumelar length, interalar distance and nostril symetry between unilateral complete cleft lip/palate patients undergoing nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) and incomplete cleft lip patients/palate with no need of presurgical moulding before and after cheiloplasty with primary nasal correction. Our study group included 18 patients...

The thermodynamics is extented to spacetimes with spin-torsion density.Impplications to Einstein-Cartan-de Sitter inflationary phases are discussed.A relation between the spin-torsion density,entropy and temperature is presented.A lower limit for the radius of the Universe may be obtained from the spin-torsion density and the Planck lenght.

Increasing planting density is among the most effective ways to increase soybean yield, but high increases lodging risks in plants. To examine effects of shading on plant lodging, tall cultivar Heinong 48 (HN48) and dwarf Henong 60 (HN60), two cultivars with large height differences (approximately 40 cm), were selected, their internode lengths measured under different densities 2019 determine k...

This paper proposes an evaluation of various compression techniques, for ultrasound images transmission, within a telemedicine project. For the purpose of this work, we selected seven compression methods : Fourier Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform, Wavelets, Quadtrees Transform, Fractals, Histogram Thresholding, and Run Lenght Coding. Preliminary results obtained on echographic images show t...

The infinite-sites model with no recombination is extended to include mutations that affect electrophoretic mobility. The model allows the effect of a single-site mutation to have a continuous effect on mobility. Formulae are obtained for the variance of electrophoretic mobility of alleles after an arbitrary lenght of time. A special case of the general model is the case of stepwise production ...

Hexagonal mesh and torus, as well as honeycomb and certain other pruned torus networks, are known to belong to the class of Cayley graphs which are node-symmetric and possess other interesting mathematical properties. In this paper, we use Cayley-graph formulations for the aforementioned networks, along with some of our previous results on subgraphs and coset graphs, to draw conclusions relatin...
