Molecular genetic analyses in Arabidopsis disclosed a genetic pathway whereby flowering is induced by the photoperiod. This cascade is examined here within the time course of floral transition in the long-day (LD) plant Sinapis alba induced by a single photoperiodic cycle. In addition to previously available sequences, the cloning of CONSTANS (SaCO) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (SaFT) homologues allow...

Kurzfassung. Die Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) ist ein Verfahren zur Verarbeitung von HF-Bildern, die an unterschiedlichen Prüfkopfpositionen aufgenommen wurden. Es wird in der zerstörungsfreien Werkstoffprüfung genutzt, um eine Abbildung von Materialfehlern innerhalb des Gebietes zu erstellen, auf das die Rekonstruktion angewandt wird. Die nach Abschluss der SAFT-Rekonstruktion ...

The SAFT-VR equation of state is extended to treat heteronuclear chain fluids, focusing, in particular, on symmetric and asymmetric diblock chains. The chain molecules studied are composed of segments of different size and/or energy of interaction. Both symmetric and asymmetric systems are considered. The theoretical predictions are compared with isothermal– isobaric and Gibbs ensemble Monte Ca...

Synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) has been used in non-destructive testing mainly in its simplest form that mimics acoustic lenses used for focusing ultrasonic beams at a point of a solid object or structure. This paper presents a review of SAFT algorithms applied for post-processing of ultrasonic data acquired in non-destructive inspection of metals. The performance of SAFT in terms...
