Container Dimension Affects Rooting Medium Temperature Patterns

C natural abundance: rooting medium matters

• Tree root respiration utilizes a major portion of the primary production in forests and is an important process in the global carbon cycle. Because of the lack of ecologically relevant methods, tree root respiration in situ is much less studied compared with above-ground processes such as photosynthesis and leaf respiration. • This study introduces a new 13 C natural tracer method for measuri...

Design Patterns for Container-based Distributed Systems

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, object-oriented programming revolutionized software development, popularizing the approach of building of applications as collections of modular components. Today we are seeing a similar revolution in distributed system development, with the increasing popularity of microservice architectures built from containerized software components. Containers [15] [22] [...

Rooting Gene Trees without Outgroups: EP Rooting

Gene sequences are routinely used to determine the topologies of unrooted phylogenetic trees, but many of the most important questions in evolution require knowing both the topologies and the roots of trees. However, general algorithms for calculating rooted trees from gene and genomic sequences in the absence of gene paralogs are few. Using the principles of evolutionary parsimony (EP) (Lake J...

Alleviation of Salt Stress by Phosphorus in Cucumber Microshoots Grown on Rooting Medium

The goal of this work was to test the in vitro responses of cucumber microshoots to salt stress as affected by increased phosphorus (P) in the medium. Salt stress was induced by incorporating different levels (0.0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) of NaCl to the medium. Increased P in the medium was efficient to ameliorate the adverse effects of salinity. Shoot and root growth of cucumber microshoots wer...
