The presents itself as a treasure text that was taught by Padmasambhava in eighth-century Tibet finally revealed five hundred years later. In opening chapter, explains devastating epidemic disease will spread ultimately kill three out every four people world. Despite this dire prognosis, he also me...

the effects of salicylic acid (sa) and putrescine (put), on cut narcissus was studied. sa (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and put (0, 150 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. this study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 108 narcissus cut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of islamic azad university, jiro...

Neural variability in responding to identical repeated stimuli has been related to trial-by-trial fluctuations in ongoing activity, yet the neural and perceptual consequences of these fluctuations remain poorly understood. Using functional neuroimaging, we recorded brain activity in subjects who reported perceptual decisions on an ambiguous figure, Rubin's vase-faces picture, which was briefly ...

With their attractive flowers and wildly diverse forms, orchids are a mainstay of the global floricultural trade. New varieties with improved floral characters and extended vase-life are continuously being generated by classical breeding techniques, though the selection process is necessarily time-consuming and remains a major obstacle to the rapid production of commercially-valuable orchids. M...

Does language play a role in how people interpret and remember causal events? One source of variation in causal event descriptions is agentivity, such as the difference between “She broke the vase” (agentive) vs. “The vase broke” (non-agentive). In this paper, we examined English and Japanese speakers’ descriptions of intentional and accidental events, as well as their memory for the causal age...

Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water absorption, and bacterial population in stem and vase solution, also biochemical characteristics such as protein concentration, li...

A review of the authors’ research works on Variable-Angle Spectroscopy (VASE) graphene-based films is presented. The interaction graphene oxide (GO) with magnetron-sputtered metals a promising area. VASE optical models GO thin deposited titanium (Ti), silver (Ag) and gold (Au) are discussed. Moreover, properties nanoplatelet (GNPS) reduced (RGO) stabilized Poly(Sodium 4-Styrenesulfonate) (PSS) ...

lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum cv. ‘mriachii blue’) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. however, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of lisianthus. for this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...
