high temperature, high radiance, low vapor pressure, and lack of precipitation in most months characterize arid ecosystems. under these conditions, tree crops such as pistachio suffer from drought combined with salinity stress. in order to investigation effects of combined salinity and drought stress on function of photosynthetic apparatus, mutica pistachio (pistacia mutica) seedlings were subj...

The aim of this paper is to give a global insight into the behaviour of F0 and FM in a wide temperature range from -100 degreesC to 75 degreesC. We show that the F0 increases upon linear freezing, similarly to the widely published increase of the F0 upon linear heating. In contrast to this the FM decreases upon linear heating in the whole temperature range from -100 degreesC to 75 degreesC. A c...

Cochlear implant (CI) users have been shown to benefit from residual low-frequency hearing, specifically in pitch related tasks. It remains unclear whether this benefit is dependent on fundamental frequency (F0) or other acoustic cues. Three experiments were conducted to determine the role of F0, as well as its frequency modulated (FM) and amplitude modulated (AM) components, in speech recognit...

This study evaluates, for the first time, the influence of biofilms on single and double optical window (SOW and DOW, respectively) fast repetition rate fluorometer (FRRF) measurements of microalgal photosystem-II initial fluorescence (F0), maximum fluorescence (Fm), variable fluorescence (Fv = Fm - F0), quantum yield (Fv/Fm) and functional absorption cross section (σPSII)]. Biofilms with chlor...

Clones of continuous maps of topological spaces and clones of homomorphisms of universal algebras are investigated and their initial segments compared. We show, for instance, that for every triple 2 ≤ n1 ≤ n2 ≤ n3 of integers there exist algebras A1 and A2 with two unary operations such that the initial k-segments of their clones of homomorphisms are equal exactly when k ≤ n1, isomorphic exactl...
