Dynamical extra dimensions break the conformal invariance of Maxwell’s equations in four dimensions. A higher dimensional background with n contracting extra dimensions and four expanding dimensions is matched to an effectively four dimensional standard radiation dominated universe. The resulting spectrum for the magnetic field is calculated taking into account also the momenta along the extra ...

The way features are implemented in source code has a significant influence on multiple quality aspects of a software system. Hence, it is important to regularly evaluate the quality of feature confinement. Unfortunately, existing approaches to such measurement rely on expert judgement for tracing links between features and source code which hinders the ability to perform cost-efficient and con...

in the first phase of this research, adaptability of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) varieties were investigated to select high yielding rapeseed cultivars. accordingly, two field experiments were performed in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 cropping seasons at experimental field of agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, in arak, iran, in a randomized complete block...

The changes in water distribution in maturing lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) seeds were visualized with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI data showed local inhomogeneities of water distribution inside the seed. At the late seed-filling stage the most intense signal was detected in the seed coat and the outer parts of cotyledons in the hilum area, but during maturation drying the decline in MR im...

A microemulsion-based synergistic dual-drug codelivery system was developed for enhanced cell apoptosis by transporting coix seed oil and etoposide into A549 (human lung carcinoma) cells simultaneously. Results obtained by dynamic light scattering showed that an etoposide (VP16)-loaded coix seed oil microemulsion (EC-ME) delivery system had a small size around 35 nm, a narrow polydispersity ind...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Using two parental clones of outcrossing Trifolium ambiguum as a potential model system, we examined how during seed development the maternal parent, number of seeds per pod, seed position within the pod, and pod position within the inflorescence influenced individual seed fresh weight, dry weight, water content, germinability, desiccation tolerance, hardseededness, and subs...

We demonstrate a new technique for general purpose interactive segmentation of N-dimensional images. The method creates two segments: “object” and “background”. The technical details can be found in our paper [1] in this proceedings. Below we concentrate on the actual interface. The user can enter seeds via mouse-operated brush of red (for object) or blue (for background) color. The size of the...

Abstract 2 Heritable symbioses are widespread and ecologically important. Many host organisms have complex life cycles that include diverse opportunities for symbionts to affect their host 4 and be lost during development. Yet, existing theory takes a simplified view of host demography. Here, we generalize symbiosis theory to understand how demographic “storage” in the 6 form of dormant or pre-...

The study diagnosed engineering properties on varying moisture content of sunflower seed and kernel from 7.6 to 25% (wet basis). On increasing moisture, dimensional values increased for both seed and kernel. Bulk density, true density and porosity were found higher for kernel as compared to seed at each moisture content. On increasing the moisture content from 7.6 to 25%, true density, porosity...

A question/answer discussion session was conducted at the conclusion of the workshop “Pest Management During Transition to Organic Farming Systems”. The following categories were used to summarize the discussion: 1) questions and answers related to cultural and biological practices and their effects under various climatic conditions, 2) recommendations for pest management, and 3) future researc...
