Abstract Soil water repellency (SWR) reduces the rates of wetting in dry soils and is known to interfere with movement into as well within soils. The objective this study was investigate hydrophysical characteristics three water-repellent tropical exotic plantation forest wet seasons. sites were Eucalyptus grandis (EG), Pinus caribaea (PC), Casuarina equisetifolia (CE) located up-country interm...

This paper develops a physics-informed neural network (PINN) based on the Schwarz waveform relaxation (SWR) method for solving local and nonlocal advection-diffusion-reaction equations. Specifically, we derive formulation by constructing subdomain-dependent solutions minimizing loss functions, allowing decomposition of training process in different domains an embarrassingly parallel procedure. ...

Systemic wound response (SWR), a well-characterized systemic signaling response, plays crucial roles in plant defense responses. Progress in understanding of the SWR in abiotic stress has also been aided by the researchers. However, the function of SWR in freezing stress remains elusive. In this study, we showed that local mild mechanical wounding enhanced freezing tolerance in newly occurred s...

OBJECTIVES To determine sweat rate (SwR) and fluid requirements for American footballers practicing in a hot, humid environment compared with cross country runners in the same conditions. METHODS Fifteen subjects, 10 footballers and five runners, participated. On the 4th and 8th day of preseason two a day practices, SwR during exercise was determined in both morning and afternoon practices/ru...

BACKGROUND The vestibular apparatus of the vertebrate inner ear uses three fluid-filled semicircular canals to sense angular acceleration of the head. Malformation of these canals disrupts the sense of balance and frequently causes circling behavior in mice. The Epistatic circler (Ecl) is a complex mutant derived from wildtype SWR/J and C57L/J mice. Ecl circling has been shown to result from th...

was postulated that this system existed as a single gene (Chapman & Whitten, 1968), the following experiments were conducted to determine the heritability of the male pheromonal system involved in pmsg-induced facilitation of ovulation. Female mice of the C57BL/6J and SWR/J strains were housed, one per cage, following weaning at 21 days of age. Lighting was kept on a 12 hr on/12 hr off schedule...

The liver, as the major organ for iron storage and production of hepcidin, plays pivotal roles in maintaining mammalian iron homeostasis. A previous study showed that Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) on chromosome 7 (Chr7) and 16 (Chr16) may control hepatic non-heme iron overload in an F2 intercross derived from C57BL/6J (B6) and SWR/J (SWR) mice. In this study, we aimed to validate the existence...

The reproductive hormone environment is an important influence upon spontaneous ovarian granulosa cell (GC) tumor development in genetically susceptible (SWR x SWXJ-9) F1 female mice: androgenic support during puberty stimulates tumorigenesis, while exposure to 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) suppresses tumor initiation. We sought to determine whether gonadotropic stimulation was sufficient to initiate...

The hippocampus plays a central role in long-term memory formation, and different hippocampal network states are thought to have functions this process. These controlled by neuromodulatory inputs, including the cholinergic input from medial septum. Here, we used optogenetic stimulation of septal neurons understand how activity affects stages spatial formation reward-based navigation task mice. ...
