oil has an important role in human food. an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the response of spring genotypes of safflower to irrigation disruption in reproductive growth different stages, in a spilt plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications at research farm, faculty of agriculture, university of birjand during 2008. irrigation regimes (full ...

deficit of oil seeds and high volume of oil imports in iran, and limitation of water sources against production of many oil seed crops, demonstrate the importance of detection tolerant species and cultivars for stressful conditions and their most sensitive growth stages to saline stress. in order to study response of spring safflowers (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes to disruption irrigation...

The linguistic diversity enduring beyond institutional pressures and social prejudices against non-standard dialects questions the social forces influencing language maintenance across generations and how children contribute to this process. Children encounter multi-dialectal interactions in their early environment, and increasing evidence shows that the acquisition of sociolinguistic variation...

In this autoethnographic critical self-inquiry study, I draw upon my unique identity as once a Chinese international student and now an English professor at private research university in the United States to investigate how sought for multilingual empowered students while coping with linguicism monolingual ideologies. Despite increasing cultural linguistic diversity population, faculty body de...

We apply a simulational proxy of the phi-value analysis and perform extensive mutagenesis experiments to identify the nucleating residues in the folding "reactions" of two small lattice Go polymers with different native geometries. Our findings show that for the more complex native fold (i.e., the one that is rich in nonlocal, long-range bonds), mutation of the residues that form the folding nu...

In the last five decades, the focus of automatic speech analysis and more recently of automatic singing analysis was on the linguistic and structural content side: words (and note-events) and their semantic interpretation. Yet, when it comes to the human behind speaking and singing, so far, research has been mostly interested in the identity of the person. Only in the last one and a half decade...

I n this issue of PNAS, Alexander et al. (1) report an observation that will be a topic of heated discussion among biochemists for a long time to come. A single amino acid substitution can, in the right context, completely change the fold of a protein. And the structural change produced by this one mutation cannot be dismissed as a semantic issue over what constitutes a different fold. As shown...

We present a persistence layer for native storage and manipulation of OWL ontologies on top of the OWL API and an associated integration of the first version of this OWL persistence layer into the Protégé ontology engineering environment. This allows for an efficient handling of large ontologies within the Protégé 4 environment even if they do not fit in main memory. The approach is based on a ...

The importance of conservation is matched by its potential to provoke contention, especially for rewilding. Treating rural peoples as biodiversity “problems” has given way viewing them “solutions,” but most needed a turn toward democracy, resolving conflicts and balancing rural-urban interests despite knowledge value disagreements. According the 2019 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on...
