salinity tolerance is a genetically and physiologically complex trait, controlled by quantitative trait loci (qtls). in order to map the qtls associated with agronomic and physiological traits, 149 doubled haploid lines derived from a cross between clipper (salt susceptible) and sahara 3771 (salt tolerant) barley genotypes were evaluated under natural saline-stress and non-stress conditions usi...

in order to study the sink-source physiological relationship, current photosynthesis, contribution and remobilization of assimilates to grain yield in wheat and triticale genotypes, a field experiment was conducted in iran, ahvaz area on 2003-4. treatments were two bread wheat (simareh and tawer), one durum wheat (showa) and two triticale (juvanillo92 and line 45) genotypes. grain weight change...

lead to continuing effects for increasing extensive of yield by means of advanced agronomic operations and selection of high yielding resistant genotypes. there fore, due to evaluation and determination of best effective traits in improvement of yield and grain quality of local populations of winter wheat, an experiment was carried out in uremia agricultural research station, on 30 local popula...

Precise spike coordination between the spiking activities of multiple neurons is suggested as an indication of coordinated network activity in active cell assemblies. Spike correlation analysis aims to identify such cooperative network activity by detecting excess spike synchrony in simultaneously recorded multiple neural spike sequences. Cooperative activity is expected to organize dynamically...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen application methods on yield and yield components of winter wheat, a field experiment with split plot arrangement in completely randomized blocks design with four replicates was conducted in 2006. basal dressing in three levels (1- with no basal dressing, 2- strip and 3- distributing nitrogen fertilizer) as main plot and top dressin...

Spike sorting is a class of techniques used in the analysis of electrophysiological data. Studying the dynamics of neural activity via electrical recording relies on the ability to detect and sort neural spikes recorded from a number of neurons by the same electrode. This article reviews methods for detecting and classifying action potentials, a problem commonly referred to as spike sorting.

We aimed to determine the neuronal parameters controlling the contraction of slowly contracting, non-twitch ("tonic") muscles driven by rhythmic neuronal activity. These muscles are almost completely absent in mammals but are common in lower vertebrates and invertebrates. Slow muscles are often believed to function primarily in tonic motor patterns. However, previous research and data presented...

The modification of first-spike latencies by low-threshold and inactivating K+ currents (IA) have important implications in neuronal coding and synaptic integration. To date, cells in which first-spike latency characteristics have been analyzed have shown that increased hyperpolarization results in longer first-spike latencies, producing a monotonic relationship between first-spike latency and ...

PURPOSE Little is known about the stability of serial measures of spike counts in children or whether spike counts are an inherently stable or unstable measure. We investigated the variation in first- and second-night spike counts in children undergoing 48-h ambulatory EEG recording. METHODS We analyzed 40 consecutive 48-h ambulatory EEGs performed at Boston Children's Hospital that manifeste...
