abstract an investigation was performed in a commercial orchard in shiraz to study the effect of time of application of cuso4 and streptomycin on quality and seedlessness of grapevine (vitis vinifera l. cv. ‘siyah-e-shiraz’). the experiment was conducted as completely randomized block design with 3 replications. plants were treated with 25 mgl-1 cuso4. 5h2o and 200mgl-1 streptomycin 2,4 and 6 d...

Previous studies of DMSP-OLS stable night lights have shown encouraging agreement between temporally stable lighted areas and various definitions of urban extent. However, these studies have also highlighted an inconsistent relationship between the actual lighted area and the boundaries of the urban areas considered. Applying detection frequency thresholds can reduce the spatial overextent of l...

Left atrial (LA) thrombus is known as a common complication of rheumatic mitral stenosis. It is more common in the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Incidence of LA clot formation in sinus rhythm is 2.4–13.5% and the incidence is as high as 33% in patients with mitral stenosis in AF. Because transthoracic echocardiography may not detect the left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus, transesophag...

We use a novel satellite time series of size-partitioned phytoplankton biomass to construct and analyze classical and novel seasonality metrics. Biomass is computed from SeaWiFS ocean color data using retrievals of the particle size distribution with the KSM09 algorithm and existing allometric relationships to convert volume to carbon. The phenological metrics include the peak blooming date, bl...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were developed for Prunus sibirica to investigate genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and marker-assisted selection of late-blooming cultivars in the breeding of P. sibirica. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using a magnetic bead enrichment strategy, 19 primer pairs were developed and characterized across 40 individuals from three P. si...
