genetic resources constitute the building blocks of crop improvement programs. these provide the basic raw material as well as reservoir of genes for breeding high-quality cultivars. characterization of germplasm is the prerequisite for subsequent utilization of the resources. in this study, suckers of twenty six damask rose genotypes (rosa damascena mill.) were collected from some of the most ...

In this paper I challenge the widely held assumption that loudness is perceptual correlate of sound intensity. Drawing on psychological and neuroscientific evidence, argue best understood not as a representation any feature wave, but rather reflection salience wave representation; determined by how much attention receives.

Chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia C. A. Mey) is one of the most important native oaks of Iran distributed in the Hyrcanian Forests. The pure and mixed stands of it cover about 6.5% of these forests. The species represents morphological variations which have resulted in the description of several infraspecific taxa by different authors. Eight taxa were recognized as subspecies and varie...

The morphospace de®ned by 87 species of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Scottish non-forested habitats is described with multivariate methods, using 13 linear quantitative measurements of the body, hind legs, eyes and antennae, plus ®ve qualitative characters concerned with body shape, colour, wing development, and pubescence. Relationships between pairs of variables are studied with p...

he purpose of this study is to demonstrate how we, especially children and adolescents, are influenced by the media; this issue had investigated by analyzing the representation of gender roles in the Game of Thrones Series. There were based on three social learning, socialization and cultivation theories. This research had done a quantitative content analysis. The variables included 20 gender a...
