Plant branching is a key process in the yield elaboration of winter oilseed rape (WOSR). It is also involved in plant tolerance to flower damage because it allows the setting of new fertile inflorescences. Here we characterize the changes in the branching and distribution of the number of pods between primary and secondary inflorescences in response to floral bud clippings. Then we investigate ...

feel that the results we show, particularly in Figure 6, are on much more complex examples and that we have processed much larger number of buildings than reported in the previous literature ([5], [2], and [9]). We feel that our method has advantage over monocular systems such as ([5]) due to its ability to infer 3-D more directly and of having several views to validate the hypotheses. We feel ...

Although game-tree search works well in perfect-information games, it is less suitable for imperfect-information games such as contract bridge. The lack of knowledge about the opponents' possible moves gives the game tree a very large branching factor, making it impossible to search a signiicant portion of this tree in a reasonable amount of time. This paper describes our approach for overcomin...

Dynamic remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton is required for cell adhesion, motility and migration and can be regulated by tyrosine kinase activity. We identified phosphorylation of the lipid-, calcium-, and actin-binding protein, annexin A2 (AnxA2) at Tyr23 as a primary event preceding v-Src kinase-induced cell scattering and migration. Expression of the phospho-mimicking mutant, Y23E-AnxA2 w...

introduction: increased oxidative stress is widely accepted to be a factor in the development and progression of alzheimer’s disease. triazine derivatives possess a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidative and anti-in.ammatory actions. in this study, we aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of 3-thioethyl-5,6-dimethoxyphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (tedmt) on h2o2-...

Rapidly proliferating cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis plus glutaminolysis, markedly increasing glucose and glutamine catabolism. Although Otto Warburg first described aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells >90 years ago, the primary purpose of this metabolic switch remains controversial. The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway requires glucose and glutamine for de novo...

Behavioural equivalences on open systems are usually defined by comparing system behaviour in all environments. Due to this “universal” quantification over the possible hosting environments, such equivalences are often difficult to check in a direct way. Here, working in the setting of process calculi, we introduce a hierarchy of behavioural equivalences for open systems, building on a previous...

This paper introduces a new simplified version of the countable branching recurrence ◦ |א0 of Computability Logic, proves its equivalence to the old one, and shows that the basic logic induced by ◦ |א0 (i.e., the one in the signature {¬,∧,∨, ◦ |א0 , ◦| א}) is a proper superset of the basic logic induced by the uncountable branching recurrence ◦ | (i.e., the one in the signature {¬,∧,∨, ◦ | , ◦|...

Consider a Galton–Watson process with immigration. This paper studies the limits of the sequential estimator, proposed by [Sriram, T.N., Basawa, I.V., and Huggins, R.M., (1991). Sequential estimation for branching processes with immigration. Ann. Statist. 19, 2232–2243.] and the modified sequential estimator, proposed by [Shete, S., Sriram, T.N., 1998. Fixed precision estimator of the offspring...

Antagonists of several growth factor signaling pathways play important roles in developmental patterning by limiting the range of the cognate inducer. Here, we describe an antagonist of FGF signaling that patterns apical branching of the Drosophila airways. In wild-type embryos, the Branchless FGF induces secondary branching by activating the Breathless FGF receptor near the tips of growing pri...
