Jasmonates (JAs) are signal molecules which elicit stress responses through JAs-responsive genes; they are also involved in developmental processes, including fruit growth and ripening. In the present study, methyl jasmonate (MJ) and n-propyl dyhydrojasmonate (PDJ) were applied to peach trees at the S1, S3 and S4 phases. In all cases, both chemicals inhibited climacteric ethylene production and...

The most widely used self-report measures of the Type A behavior pattern (TABP) are the Bortner scale, the Framingham scale, and the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS). Though high scores on each of these measures have been linked to the development of coronary heart disease, their intercorrelations are rather low, suggesting that they may reflect different aspects of TABP. This study indicates that...

In 1999, Tan and Zhu proposed a remote password authentication scheme that is the first remote login scheme using smart cards based on cross product of matrixes. The scheme is efficient and flexible as compared with other matrix-based remote authentication schemes. However, Chien, Jan, and Tseng have shown that an attacker can impersonate a legitimate user to login the system in the scheme. Thi...

The costs associated with drilling and completing wells are a major factor in determining the economic feasibility of producing energy from geothermal resources. In EGS power plants, estimates place drilling costs as accounting for 42%-95% of total power plant costs (Tester et al., 1994) depending on the quality of the EGS reservoir. An earlier correlation first developed by Milora and Tester (...

Background. The phytohormone jasmonates (JAs) regulate fundamental plant processes; such as the anthocyanin accumulation during ripening of strawberry, a non-climacteric fruit model. Jasmonoylisoleucine (JA-Ile), one of the bioactive JA molecules, mediates binding of the JAZ repressor protein to COI1, an F-box protein forming the SCF ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, in Arabidopsis. The COI1-JA-Ile-...

There has been sustained research effort over the years in Professional Learning Community (PLC) education. However, there are only a few alternative points of view terms bodies. Thus, this study sought to investigate and provide examples current trend on teachers’ PLC (2012 -2022) using bibliometric analysis. The data was collected from Scopus-indexed documents based ‘article title, abstract, ...

In order to get high efficiency in one-to-many communication environment and simplify the management of keys, a novel biometric sign...

A group signature scheme is a digital signature scheme that allows a group member to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. Recently, Tseng and Jan proposed two group signature schemes based on self-certified and ID-based public keys respectively. However, these two schemes were shown to be insecure against forgery due to Joye et al. Later, Sun et al. showed that Tseng and Jan’s self...
