Plant diurnal oscillation is a 24-hour period based variation. The correlation between diurnal genes and biological pathways was widely revealed by microarray analysis in different species. Rice (Oryza sativa) is the major food staple for about half of the world's population. The rice flag leaf is essential in providing photosynthates to the grain filling. However, there is still no comprehensi...

Diurnal (or sub-daily) variations are large in many surface and atmospheric fields such as solar radiation, surface latent and sensible heat fluxes, surface temperature and winds, atmospheric convection, and precipitation. These diurnal variations are especially important in air-land and air-sea interactions, which are highly non-linear and thus can not be resolved using daily mean values. Curr...

The pressure-corrected hourly counting rate data of neutron monitor stations, situated in different latitudes, have been employed to study the variation of cosmic ray diurnal anisotropy for a long period of 44 years (1965-2008). Some of these neutron monitors are situated in low latitudes with high cutoff rigidity. Annual averages of the diurnal amplitudes and phases have been obtained for each...

background & aim: elaeagnus angustifolia and elaeagnus orientalis have a lot of medical utilization. in folk medicine, the fruit and flower of these plants are used as a tonic and antipyretic agent. the aim of the present study was to chemical analysis of volatile constituents of e. angustifolia and e. orientalis flowers.  experimental: the essential oils of e. angustifolia and e. orientali...

The diurnal curves of 21 patients (40 eyes) with angle-closure glaucoma and of 21 normotensive subjects (42 eyes) were studied. The patients with angle-closure glaucoma had a V-shaped diurnal curve that was completely different from the diurnal curve of the normotensive subjects. Most of the eyes of the patients with angle-closure glaucoma had a diurnal change of the intraocular pressure of 8 m...

introduction: this study aimed to investigate the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations under dehydration conditions and the relationship between the intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure. methods: the intraocular pressures (iop), body weights, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures (sbp, dbp) of 36 fasting healthy volunteers were recorded at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m...

Evaluations were made of the diurnal variations of tremor power at rest, after fatigue and after mass loading, and plasma norepinephrine in patients with familial essential tremor and normal subjects. Diurnal tremor power rhythms for both essential and physiological tremor pursued identical temporal profiles. Plasma norepinephrine levels followed a congruent diurnal pattern with later peak valu...

[1] High-resolution (0.1 0.1 ) geostationary satellite infrared radiances at 11 mm in combination with gridded (2.5 2.0 ) hourly surface precipitation observations are employed to document the spatial structure of the diurnal cycle of summertime deep convection and associated precipitation over North America. Comparison of the diurnal cycle pattern between the satellite retrieval and surface ob...
