background: in this study we evaluated the prognostic impact of metastatic lymph node ratio (mlr) in patients with gastric cancer undergoing curative surgical resection. methods: a total of 121 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma undergoing curative r0 surgical resection in our institutions between 2003 and 2010 were included in this study.  mlr was classified into 3 groups as follows: mlr0; 0...

Timothy is a perennial forage grass grown commonly in Boreal regions. This study explored the effect of vernalization and photoperiod (PP) on flowering and growth characteristics and how this related to changes in expression of three flowering related genes in accessions from different geographic origin. Large variation was found in accessions in their vernalization and PP responses. In souther...

BACKGROUND Climate change directly affects species by altering their physical environment and indirectly affects species by altering interspecific interactions such as predation and competition. Recent studies have shown that the indirect effects of climate change may amplify or counteract the direct effects. However, little is known about the the relative strength of direct and indirect effect...

Tillage is the most energy-intensive soil operation. In actual energy situation important to explore and analyze physical laws of cultivation processes, that demand large quantities, at border technical- agricultural sciences. We studied phenomenon’s occurring during work with a rotary tiller approximated requirements computer simulation using Matlab Simulink environment. The model used was sim...

Characterization and Genetic Analysis of a Very High Tillering and Dwarf Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Mutant. (August 2008) Dhananjay Mani, B.Sc. (Hons)., Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Rodante E. Tabien Dr. Scott A. Finlayson This study focused on characterizing and determining the inheritance pattern of very high tillering and dwarf traits of a ...

A delay in the mechanical transplantation (MT) of rice seedlings frequently occurs in Huanghuai wheat-rice rotation cropping districts of China, due to the late harvest of wheat, the poor weather conditions and the insufficiency of transplanters, missing the optimum transplanting time and causing seedlings to age. To identify how delaying transplanting rice affects the agronomic characteristics...

this research was conducted on determination of better planting distance and better amount of nitrogen and phosphorus for hybrid rice (bahar 1). planting distance were used in this experiment, include 30×15, 30×20 and 30×25 cm as main factor. and also nitrogen fertilizer was used, include four levels, 65, 95, 125 and 155 k/ha and phosphorus fertilizer used include tow levels, 50 and 100 k/ha as...

Tillering is a core constituent of plant architecture, and influences light interception to affect plant and crop performance. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) varying for a tiller inhibition (tin) gene and representing two genetic backgrounds were investigated for tillering dynamics, organ size distribution, leaf area, light interception, red: far-red ratio, and chlorophyll content. Tillering ceased...

Tiller number, an important growth parameter for rice cultivation, is still being assessed manually. This work investigated the influence of dataset composition on performance deep learning models tiller number estimation in rice. Four datasets were constructed early tillering, active and maximum tillering by applying concepts mixed varieties, class balance, data augmentation. YOLOv4 trained to...
