Evaluating the merits of the wheat seed is an important significance for wheat breeding. We studied analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for seeds grading by digital image processing techniques in the paper. Firstly, preprocess the collected wheat seed images; extract some parameters, such as area, plumpness, rectangular, and elongation of the seed, and then build the level model. Experiments showe...

Seven lines of triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) with either shriveled or plump seed characteristics were planted in the field, and seed developmental changes in weight, starch content, the activity of starch biosynthetic and degradative enzymes, and ATP content were studied in three consecutive years in Oregon. Experimental results varied among genotypes and with growing environment, but ov...

Identifying yield and grain plumpness QTL that are independent of developmental variation or phenology is of paramount importance for developing widely adapted and stable varieties through the application of marker assisted selection. The current study was designed to dissect the genetic basis of yield performance and grain plumpness in southern Australia using three doubled haploid (DH) popula...

An anthropological perspective on obesity considers both its evolutionary background and cross-cultural variation. It must explain three basic facts about obesity: gender dimorphism (women greater than men), an increase with modernization, and a positive association with socioeconomic status. Preindustrial diets varied in quality but shared a tendency to periodic shortages. Such shortages, part...

to investigate the genetic diversity of persian walnut (juglans regia), 608 different walnut genotypes of neyriz region were evaluated for 30 morphological characteristics including kernel color, fruit shape, shell seal, shell texture and kernel plumpness, kernel weight, percentage of kernel as well as thickness of shell. the correlation between was traits in most cases significant at either 1 ...

Soil relative water content and seed plumpness have been shown to be the key factors affecting germination seedling growth of rice under direct drought cropping. It remains determined whether water-saving drought-resistant (WDR) conventional with same proportion response soil moisture changes. The purpose this study was investigate physiological characteristics cultivars Guangliangyou 1813 (GLY...

The notion of a plump subgroup was recently introduced by Amrutam. This is relativized version Powers' averaging property, and it known that property equivalent to C*-simplicity. With this in mind, we introduce C*-simplicity, show for normal subgroups plumpness, along with several other characterizations.

AHAs act on both the epidermal and the dermal levels. When applied to the skin, AHAs stimulate the exfoliation of epidermal cells in the stratum corneum (s.c.) by interfering with the ionic bonding between these cells. This results in the sloughing off dull, rough skin and promotes cellular renewal. Initially used for treatment of hyperkeratosis and other skin conditions affecting s.c. turnover...
