1 Grain amaranth is a pseudo-cereal and an ancient crop of Central and South America. Of the 2 three species of grain amaranth, Amaranthus caudatus is mainly grown in the Andean region. 3 Several models of domestication were proposed including a domestication from the wild rela4 tives A. hybridus or A. quitensis. To investigate the domestication history of A. caudatus and 5 its relationship to ...

Abstrak. Salah satu alternatif yang dapat digunakan dalam budidaya tanaman sebagai mikrohabitat menjadi tempat berlindung nyaman bagi musuh alami, menyediakan sumber pakan berupa nektar dan mendukung komponen interaksi biotik suatu ekosistem, seperti polinator (serangga penyerbuk) adalah refugia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kehadiran serangga parasitoid pada pertanaman cabai mer...

In 2011, a leaf blight disease was observed on cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) leaves in Nonsan, Korea. The causal pathogen was isolated and identified based on morphological and molecular approaches. Morphological characteristics of the pathogen matched well with the Alternaria cosmosa and also easily distinguishable from Alternaria zinniae reported from cosmos seeds by producing branched beak. Phy...

Integrating dedicated applications with a wireless LAN and WAN infrastructure, the COSMOS system provides "Construction Site Mobile Operations Support". In this paper, we focus on the approach taken in COSMOS for bandwidth management across the bottleneck satellite WAN link, particularly for supporting video conferencing between company headquarters and construction sites. We discuss the IETF Q...

An integrated modeling and simulation tool called Componentbased System Modeler and Simulator (CoSMoS) is developed. It supports visual development of families of models that have well-defined logical specifications. The logical componentbased models persist in relational databases and may be automatically translated into specific target simulation and markup programming languages. The underlyi...

The traditional study of infant locomotion focuses on what movements look like at various points in development, and how infants acquire sufficient strength and balance to move. We describe a new view of locomotor development that focuses on infants' ability to adapt their locomotor decisions to variations in the environment and changes in their bodily propensities. In the first section of the ...

The ‘Cosmos’ model and its application is a dynamic event distribution system, which generates and organizes sonic entities evolving on multiple time scales. Inspired by the stochastic event generation models that were developed by Iannis Xenakis, the Cosmos model proposes additional important aspects such as the self-similarity in the structure and emergent behaviour in the resulting sonic evo...

Serotonin is known to inhibit food and water intake. However, the effect of its injection into nucleus caudatus on food and water intake is not known. In the present study, serotonin hydrochloride, buspirone (the serotonin 5-HT1A agonist) and ondensetron (the 5HT3 antagonist) were injected into nucleus caudatus through stereotaxically implanted cannulae in three different dosages (1, 2 and 5 mi...
