We studied the spatial pattern of seed predation across a forest-old field edge in both fall and winter to assess the potential for seed predators to influence plant spatial patterns. We used a 100 x 100 m grid that began 30 m inside the forest and extended 60 m into the old field. Inside this grid we placed seed stations at regular 10 m intervals and monitored seed removal. Seed predation vari...

The aspect of handling interruption plays a vital role in human computer interaction. Interruptions become disruptive when they occur at inappropriate times. This is the reason that researchers are paying more attention towards predicting interruptions and their effects over the past few decades. We came up with an idea of finding self-initiated intermission to realize fewer distraction in huma...

The principle of wavelength-scanning digital interference holography is applied to three-dimensional imaging of a small biological specimen. The images are reconstructed from a number of holograms digitally recorded while the wavelengths are varied at regular intervals, and the numerical interference of the multiple three-dimensional hologram fields results in tomographic images with narrow axi...

We investigate some relations between a generic immersion of a graph into the 2-space with small number of double points and the embeddings of the graph into the 3-space obtained by lifting the immersion with respect to the natural projection from the 3-space to the 2-space. Specifically we prove: (1) An embedding of a graph obtained from a generic immersion of the graph with at most three doub...

Ocimum gratissimum is an essential plant because of its wide food and medicinal usage. Despite relevance, morpho-physiological compositions are influenced by several abiotic stresses. Hence, this study examined the effects water stress on growth chlorophyll contents O. gratissimum. Seedlings were grown in twenty-four pots, two per pot arranged using a complete randomized design with four groups...

In plants, the developmental mechanisms that regulate the positioning of lateral organs along the primary root are currently unknown. We present evidence on how lateral root initiation is controlled in a spatiotemporal manner in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. First, lateral roots are spaced along the main axis in a regular left-right alternating pattern that correlates with gravity-induc...
