This project aimed at breeding new seedless grape cultivars by embryo rescue through three hybridization methods: 1) using cross-breeding between seedless Vitis vinifera cultivars and wild Chinese Vitis spp; 2) crossing with two seedless cultivars, and 3) hybridization between grapes of different ploidy. Genotype, sampling times, and media were confirmed to play important roles in this system. ...

This paper considers listing all possible samples of size n with unequal probabilities without replacement in order to find the sample distribution. The main application of that is to estimate the Horvitz-Thompson (HT) estimator and possibly to know the shape of its sample distribution to construct confidence intervals. The algorithm computes all possible samples of the population, in contrast ...

Objective: Due to rich resources of phenolic components such as anthocyanin and flavonoids, grape has grabbed lots of attention. Antioxidants are the frontline of the human immune system against free radicals and they are of high importance for the human health. Methods: In order to determine antioxidant activities, the amount of phenols, anthocyanin and ascorbic acid of 2 grapes’ varieties ("w...

A nite-state machine is called a Thompson machine if it can be constructed from a regular expression using Thompson's construction. We call the underlying digraph of a Thompson machine a Thompson di-graph. We establish and prove a characterization of Thompson digraphs. As one application of the characterization, we give an algorithm that generates an equivalent regular expression from a Thompso...

In the past decade or so the term postmodernism has captured the attention of a generation of artists, intellectuals, authors, and professionals to such a degree that the term has even crept into the comparatively sober psychoanalytic literature, the last place one would have expected to find it. Yet any marriage between the psychoanalytic treatment perspective with its painstaking, laborious p...

composite edible coating comprising xanthan gum (0.3%) and olive oil (0.1%) enriched with antioxidants (gallic acid 0.1%, ferulic acid 0.1% and ascorbic acid 0.1%) enhanced the postharvest storability and nutritional quality of table grapes. the quality characteristics of table grapes were monitored during storage at 10±2°c, (70–75% rh), at regular intervals of 6 days until 24 days of storage. ...
