To determine whether abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation in endosperms of water-limited maize (Zea mays L.) plants is from synthesis in maternal plant organs or from intraendosperm synthesis, plants heterozygous for viviparous (vp) genes were self-pollinated to create endosperm genotypes capable (+/-/-; +/+/-; +/+/+) or incapable (-/-/-) of carotenoid and ABA synthesis. The mutants vp2, vp5, and v...

The centrality of home equity to the balance sheets American households, and oppressive legacy racial exclusion from mortgage markets, compel design intentionally anti-racist housing policy capable building lasting wealth for Black families. In this study, we compare home-mortgage terms offered middle-income Whites in New Deal era, with a contemporary York City formerly redlined districts. city...

Aim. To investigate the level of tolerance to water deficit seed generations (T1 and T4) genetically modified winter wheat with partially suppressed expression proline dehydrogenase gene (ProDH) based on analysis physiological biochemical indicators economic characteristics plants. Methods. Determination crop structure content free L-proline (Pro). Results. The Pro was studied main elements pro...

Housing is a major concern for all people in every corner of the world as wellbeing any society reflected their housing characteristics and living standard. The Malaysian policy has developed since its independence from British 1957 with some colonial influence, however, emphasis changed 60s 70s merely providing access to increasing affordability better quality housing. These policies pledged i...

The water availability at early phenological stages is critical for crop establishment and sugarcane varieties show differential performance under drought. Herein, we evaluated the relative importance of morphological and physiological plasticity of young sugarcane plants grown under water deficit, testing the hypothesis that high phenotypic plasticity is associated with drought tolerance. IACS...

[1] Major ruptures along the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS) are driven by stress that has accumulated in the upper locked portion of the crust. The present-day stress accumulation rate on any given fault segment is fairly well resolved by current geodetic measurements. Model stress accumulation rates vary between 0.5 and 7 MPa per century and are inversely proportional to earthquake recurrence...

This work addresses the instability in asynchronous data parallel optimization. It does so by introducing a novel distributed optimizer which is able to efficiently optimize a centralized model under communication constraints. The optimizer achieves this by pushing a normalized sequence of first-order gradients to a parameter server. This implies that the magnitude of a worker delta is smaller ...

Unfortunately, modern mass construction does not take into account all the influencing factors on buildings, however, considerable experience has been accumulated over past decades of design, and operation. A method zoning central part city, taking peculiarities engineering-geological hydrogeological structure territory, terrain, nature development technical condition proposed. Significant area...

nigeria has had several housing programmes and policies geared towards the provision of housing her citizens since colonial era to the post-colonial period. the nigerian government had always been directly involved in the provision of housing for the public servants and with the advent of the public-private partnership initiative, the low-income public servants’ acceptability of this new housin...

BY an arrangement with the Bermuda Natural History Society, apportunity is offered for a limited number of instructors and research students in zoology and botany to spend a few weeks at the Bermuda Biological Station this summer. Members of the expedition will sail from New York on the steamer Bermudian (Quebec Steamship Co.) at 11 A.M. on Wednesday, June 19, arriving in Bermuda June 21, and r...
