A recent ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) study revealed that tryptic peptide ions containing a proline residue at the second position from the N-terminus (i.e., penultimate proline) frequently adopt multiple conformations, owing to the cis-trans isomerization of Xaa(1)-Pro(2) peptide bonds [J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 2015, 26, 444]. Here, we present a statistical analysis o...

plant photosynthetate partitioning is important in seed yield formation. in this research, in order to study grain filling procedure of chickpea in the presense of drought stress and nitrogen (n) fertilizer on remobilization rate, final grain weight and grain yield were measured. experiment was performed in an split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. droug...

this paper presents the results of the assembly process of a gasketed bolted flanged pipe joint for two different bolt tightening strategies, i.e. asme and industrial using torque control of preload method.  the final clamping force is achieved in four and five passes in asme and industrial strategy respectively. axial bolt stress variation, at the end of each pass, individual bolt bending beha...

rapid germination is an important factor determining the final yield. the most important abiotic stress threatening lentils is drought and temperature. therefore, this study was performed with the aim of investigating effects various thermal treatments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°c) and four levels of drought (0, -4, -8, -12 and -16 bar) on percentage and germination rate of lentil genotypes. a s...

The purpose of the present study is to investigate to what extent metrical structure in English plays a role in silent word reading. To address this issue, EEG was recorded while participants were visually presented with lists of five bisyllabic words ending with one word that had either the same or different stress pattern as the previous four words. Results revealed that final words that did ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The current definition of atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) associated with bisphosphonate use includes only de novo fractures. However, in recent years reports of bisphosphonate-associated periprosthetic fractures involving stemmed arthroplasty implants have emerged. In a case series of peri-implant fractures in femurs with plate/screw constructs, we aimed to assess simi...

Could the Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s have been predicted in advance if the SST anomalies of the 1930s had been foreknown? Ensembles of model simulations forced with historical observed SSTs in the global ocean, and also separately in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, are compared with an ensemble begun in January 1929 with modeled atmosphere and land initial conditions and integrate...

Production of lexical stress patterns in biand tri-syllabic words by five-year-old children was investigated. Duration and amplitude, which are the primary acoustic correlates of lexical stress in American English, were examined in words produced in isolation, in utterance-initial and utterance-final positions. In all three prosodic environments, children and adults differentiated lexical stres...
