What makes a neighborhood space vital? This article explores the possibility that the presence of trees and grass may be one of the key components of vital neighborhood spaces. We report on 758 observations of individuals in 59 outdoor common spaces in a residential development. Twenty-seven of the neighborhood common spaces were relatively green, whereas 32 were relatively barren. Results indi...

the evaluation of gene bank germplasm collection for morpho-physiological traits is important in the breeding programs. although phenotypic variation was considered, it is likely that this phenotypic variation is largely genetic and therefore directly useable for breeders, especially for those traits with high heritability such as heading and maturity time, plant height, kernel number and weigh...

The sedimentation coefficients of three proteins, which appeared homogeneous in the ultracentrifuge, have been determined at different rotor velocities. Two of the proteins, ovalbumin and human gamma-globulin, showed sedimentation coefficients that were approx. 10% higher at rotor velocities below 20000rev./min. than at 56100rev./min. The third protein, haemocyanin of Jasus lalandii, could not ...

responses of twenty chickpea genotypes to drought stress were evaluated in the farm of college of agricultutre, razi university, kermanshah, iran in 2006-2007. the experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications under two water stress and non-stress conditions. the results showed significant differences among the genotypes for most of the traits. maximum y...

in order to study the correlation between morphophenological and quantitative traits with yield and to determine the most important traits for yield, 600 ecotypes of mung bean were evaluated in normal and limited irrigation conditions through augmented design. computation of correlation coefficients showed that in two conditions, number of pods per plant, harvest index and biological yield had ...
