Relatively few studies have extensively analysed the genetic diversity of the runner bean through molecular markers. Here, we used six chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSRs) to investigate the cytoplasmic diversity of 331 European domesticated accessions of the scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.), including the botanical varieties albiflorus, bicolor and coccineus, and a sample of 49 dom...

In this work a response surface approach was used for predicting the hill chart of a small horizontal shaft Kaplan turbine. To this aim, artificial neural networks (ANN) were chosen as a fast, reliable, and computationally inexpensive tool. The training of the ANN was based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The optimization of the runner-guide vane stagger correlation is a time consuming a...

We are using the maize leaf as an experimental system to ask how positional information establishes the proximal/distal axis. A mature maize leaf has three regions, the distal blade that functions in photosynthesis, the proximal sheath that wraps the stalk, and the ligule, marking a sharp boundary between blade and sheath. The recessive liguleless mutants remove the ligule, but the distinction ...

a contrast. The one had a large compound fracture of the skull and typical symptoms of hemorrhagic compression of the brain and was successfully trephined and cured. The other had no wound, no fracture, and no definite signs of compression, but subcranial haemorrhage was found post mortem. Case 1.?A. A., aged 26, was brought into hospital on the evening of January 20th, 1907, unconscious and wi...

In this paper, the Eulerian–Lagrangian method and Tabakoff erosion model are used to study solid–liquid two-phase flow in a Francis turbine. Through analysis of overall pattern, particle flow, concentration, wear bladeless area unit under different guide vane openings, influence runner radial gap on surrounding field characteristics openings is revealed. The results show that smaller opening va...

A learning game has been developed which allows learners to study and learn about the significance of three important variables in human physiology (lactate, glycogen, and hydration) and their influence on sports performance during running. The player can control the speed of the runner, and as a consequence the resulting physiological processes are simulated in real-time. The performance degra...

information extend to other languages, and to further our understanding of the source/nature of these effects. The structure of this paper is as follows. In Section 1, we review existing work on the effects of structural and non-structural factors on the interpretation of pronouns and reflexives in PNPs, including our previous research on English (Kaiser, Runner, Sussman & Tanenhaus 2007, 2008)...
