BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous studies indicate that the size-controlling capacity of peach rootstocks is associated with reductions of scion water potential during mid-day that are caused by the reduced hydraulic conductance of the rootstock. Thus, shoot growth appears to be reduced by decreases in stem water potential. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of reduced hydraulic ...

The major internal structural proteins (p30) of type C viruses isolated from several mammalian species were studied by radioimmunoprecipitation and competitive radioimmunoassays. Three antigenically distinguishable sets of interspecies determinants could be demonstrated by both methods. One set of determinants shared by viruses of rodent origin (mouse and rat) can be detected readily in feline ...

Long-interval cortical inhibition (LICI) refers to suppression of neuronal activity following paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with interstimulus intervals (ISIs) between 50 and 200 ms. LICI can be measured either from motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) in small hand muscles or directly from the cortex using concurrent electroencephalography (EEG). However, it remains unclear wh...

Relationships between discrete-return light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data and radiata pine leaf area index (LAI), stem volume, above ground carbon, and carbon sequestration were developed using 10 plots with directly measured biomass and leaf area data, and 36 plots with modelled carbon data. The plots included a range of genetic types established on northand south-facing aspects. Modelled...

anxiety comprises many clinical descriptions and phenotypes. a genetic predisposition to anxiety is undoubted; however, the nature and extent of that contribution is still unclear. extensive genetic studies of the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-ht) transporter (5-htt) gene have revealed how variation in gene expression can be correlated with anxiety phenotypes. complete genome-wide linkage s...

The neuromodulator dopamine plays a significant role in light adaptation, eye growth, and modulation of neuronal circuitry the retina. Dopaminergic amacrine cells adult retina release response to stimulation, however, light-induced activity these during postnatal development is not known. We assessed dopaminergic pulse C57BL/6 wild-type animals across various ages. Expression tyrosine hydroxyla...

This paper describes the tool life prediction model with end milling EN31 tool steel using P30 Tungsten uncoated carbide tool. The data set from the Taguchi method design is taken. For discussion the effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on tool life of P30 are considered. This paper suggests a novel technique for the tool wear measurement based on machine vision. Tool images are...

C/EBPe is essential for granulocytic differentiation. We investigated the role of C/EBPe in the transcriptional activation of various myeloid-specific genes. We found that two C/EBPe isoforms, p32 and p30, possessing transcriptional activation domains were coexpressed in myeloid cells. Interestingly, isoform C/EBPe p30 but not p32 was differentially upregulated in NB-4 promyelocytic leukemia ce...

Background Alzheimer’s Dementia (AD) is characterized by cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS). Recently, decline in AD has been linked to increased cortical excitability. However, the relationship between NPS excitability remains unclear. This study investigated dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Method 24 participants with probable diagnosed using National Institute of Aging-Alzh...
