QTL9 is a new potential quantitative trait locus related to rice panicle structure, identified through GWAS analysis of Vietnamese local panel. To validate the QTL9, biparental population was developed using low branching (G6) and high (G189) accessions from two haplotypes characterised by contrasting phenotype for secondary branch number spikelet traits. In parallel, Gene capture technology co...

This report describes the optimization implemented in hpfc, our prototype hpf compiler, to remove useless remappings. This optimization is performed on the remapping graph. The construction of this graph from the control ow graph is rst presented. Then the optimization is formalized as a may data-ow problem on this graph. Finally the results are discussed. 1 Remapping Graph Useless remappings m...

Vitamin D is an important regulator of the immune system in general and multiple sclerosis in particular. Experimentally (i), invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have been shown to be important suppressors of autoimmune diseases such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE; an animal model of multiple sclerosis). Conversely, in experimental allergic asthma iNKT cells are required ...

ARHA110 Introduction to Western Art: Renaissance to Modern This course surveys the development of Western art from the Renaissance through the modern period. We will examine art's changing status within specific social and artistic contexts: from the Church and court of the Renaissance, through the formation of art academies in the late 16th century, to the development of an increasingly indivi...

The term "Renaissance classicism" refers to a fundamental attribute of the period that scholars refer to as the European Renaissance, roughly 1400–1600. Renaissance classicism was an intellectual movement that sought to mimic the literature, rhetoric, art, and philosophy of the ancient world, specifically ancient Rome. Scholars, politicians, and philosophers looked to ancient literary and artis...

Polyamide-66(PA66)/CaCO3 micro- and nano-composites were prepared using a polymer solution method at filler loading of 0, 1, 2 and 3 weight percent. Nano-size of CaCO3 was synthesized by micro-emulsion technique. The material was characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR and UV-VIS techniques. XRD results of composites suggested that CaCO3 particles are found in the amorphous phase of the semi-crystallin...
