abstract millets are important agricultural crops for arid regions due to short life span and their resistance to salinity and drought conditions. in iran, three main species of millets including proso millet (panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (setaria italica) and pearl millet (pennisetum glaucum) are cultivated in shouthern khorasan province, eastern iran. in order to assess inter-specific g...

The structure and variance of the equatorial zonal circulation, as characterized by the atmospheric mass flux in the equatorial zonal plane, is examined and intercompared in simulations from 9 CMIP3 coupled climate models with multiple ensemble members and the NCEPNCAR and ERA-40 reanalyses. The climate model simulations analyzed here include twentieth century (20C3M) and twenty-first century (...

Biogenic emissions and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are strongly dependent on climatic conditions. To understand the SOA levels and their sensitivity to future climate change in the United States (U.S.), we present amodelingworkwith the consideration of SOA formation from the oxidation of biogenic emissions with atmospheric oxidants (e.g., OH, O3, and NO3). The model simulation for the pres...

Secretion of neurotransmitters is initiated by voltage-gated calcium influx through presynaptic, voltagegated N-type calcium channels. These channels interact with the SNARE proteins, which are core components of the exocytosis process, via the synaptic protein interaction (synprint) site in the intracellular loop connecting domains II and III of their a1B subunit. Interruption of this interact...

a-Adrenergic receptor (AR) activation enhances sodium retention in certain forms of hypertension. The objective of the present study was to understand the role of a-ARs in regulating sodium transport by distal tubules (DT). DT cells were isolated from kidneys of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at 6 weeks, when hypertension is developing, or at 12 weeks, when hy...
