Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedling establishment is very sensitive to temperature and drought stresses. The present study was conducted investigate the effects of foliar exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) application on wheat under different (25, 30, 35 ℃) water regimes (normal 65% watering). Five levels 5-ALA (0, 25, 50, 100 150 mg L-1) were applied as application. Leaf area, stem di...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic and the policies to contain it had a widespread impact on life livelihood of participants enrolled in Srinivaspura Aging, Neuro Senescence, COGnition (SANSCOG) study. We evaluated prevalence depression associated with its cognition our cohort. Method used geriatric scale (GDS) objectively assess scores 400 before first wave (March 2020; W1) after second 2021; W2...

The total atomization energy at absolute zero, (TAE0) of benzene, C6H6, was computed fully ab initio by means of W2h theory as 1306.6 kcal/mol, to be compared with the experimentally derived value 1305.7±0.7 kcal/mol. The computed result includes contributions from inner-shell correlation (7.1 kcal/mol), scalar relativistic effects (-1.0 kcal/mol), atomic spin-orbit splitting (-0.5 kcal/mol), a...

As one of the applications of Grover search, an exact quantum algorithm for the symmetric weight decision problem of a Boolean function has been proposed recently. Although the proposed method shows a quadratic speedup over the classical approach, it only applies to the symmetric case of a Boolean function whose weight is one of the pair {0 < w1 < w2 < 1, w1 + w2 = 1}. In this article, we gener...

Cuticular wax composition greatly impacts plant responses to dehydration. Two parallel pathways exist in Triticeae for manipulating wax composition: the acyl elongation, reduction, and decarbonylation pathway that is active at the vegetative stage and yields primary alcohols and alkanes, and the β-diketone pathway that predominates at the reproductive stage and synthesizes β-diketones. Variatio...

The longest common extension (LCE) of two indices in a string is the length of the longest identical substrings starting at these two indices. The LCE problem asks to preprocess a string into a compact data structure that supports fast LCE queries. In this paper we generalize the LCE problem to trees and suggest a few applications of LCE in trees to tries and XML databases. Given a labeled and ...

[1] Gravity waves forced by circular bell-shaped mountains are simulated using the Advanced Regional Prediction System model for four directionally sheared wind profiles W1, W2, W2a, and W2b. W1 is eastward at the surface, while the latter three are southeastward. With the vertical shear directed northward, W1 shows an increasing speed with height, whereas W2, W2a, and W2b are first decelerated...
