The architecture of a plant affects its ability to compete for light and to respond to environmental stresses, thus affecting overall fitness and productivity. Two components of architecture, branching and height, were studied in 182 F7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) at the vegetative, flowering and mature developmental stages in the panicoid C4 model grass system, Setaria. The RIL population ...

to evaluate the effect of seeding rate on important agronomic traits in three winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars, two field experiments were carried out as split plot arrangement in a complete block design with three replications during 2006-2008 growing seasons. three rapeseed cultivars (okapi, modena and licord) and three seeding rates (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha)) were randomized in main p...

in this study six genotypes of upland cotton (g. hirsutum l.) were crossed in a half diallel (6×6) mating fashion. the parents and f1s were planted in a complete randomized block design with three replications at the hashemabad cotton research station (gorgan) in 2005. cotton yield and some agronomic traits were evaluated. analysis of variance showed that differences due to genotypes were signi...

A patient is described who had polymyositis with arthritis, keratodermia blenorrhagica, pulmonary fibrosis, and cardiac failure with a right bundle branch block. The cutaneous lesions on his palms and soles, considered to be specific for Reiter's syndrome, pointed to an overlapping of polymyositis with features of this syndrome. Findings typical of myositis were present. In addition a muscle bi...

Thin stacks consisting of a single intrinsic Josephson junction on (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films are investigated under the influence of external microwave fields. The I-V-characteristic shows a single resistive branch, a clear superconducting gap edge structure and a pronounced current step in external microwave fields. With increasing irradiation power it shifts to higher voltages, while the ...

a considerable height, but without any visible effect. A castoroil and turpentine enema was then given, and preparations made for employing counter-irritation. On my arrival at hospital at about 2-30 o'clock p.m., the patient's state was as follows:?Skin cold; breathing stertorous ; pulse hard and very labored; pupils contracted to a pin 8 point: insensibility complete. There was not the slight...

Building upon work of Abraham (cf. [1]), Cummings and Foreman have shown in [2], starting from ω many supercompact cardinals, that consistently the following holds. (⋆) For every n < ω, 2n = אn+2 and אn+1 has the tree property. Recall that a cardinal κ is said to have the tree property if there is no Aronszajn κ-tree, i.e. if every tree of height κ all of whose levels have size < κ admits a cof...

Abstract A nondestructive sampling method was developed for Lycorma delicatula egg masses based on fixed-radius plot (100 m2) in 2020. All trees &amp;gt;1.0 cm DBH (diameter at breast height, 1.37 m height) each were visually inspected from the ground 4 tree with binoculars. Egg found separated into six within-tree positions (lower trunk, middle upper first branch, second above branch) and reco...

We perform a pruning procedure on a Lévy tree and instead of throwing away the removed sub-tree, we regraft it on a given branch (not related to the Lévy tree). We prove that the tree constructed by regrafting is distributed as the original Lévy tree, generalizing a result of Addario-Berry, Broutin and Holmgren where only Aldous’s tree is considered. As a consequence, we obtain that the “averag...
