Flowering time of the short-day plant Chrysanthemum morifolium is largely dependent upon daylength, but it is also distinctly influenced by other environmental factors. Flowering is delayed by summer heat. Here, the underlying basis for this phenomenon was investigated. Heat-induced flowering retardation occurred similarly in C. morifolium and C. seticuspe, a wild-type diploid chrysanthemum. In...

Over the last two decades, hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) Tanimura and Kubo have become equation motion-based tool for numerically exact calculations system-bath problems. The HEOM is today generalized to many cases dissipation transfer processes through an external bath. In spatially extended photonic systems, propagation photons bath leads retardation/delays in coupling quantum emitt...

We theoretically analyze dominant plasma modes in a two-dimensional disk of electron gas by calculating the absorption an incident electromagnetic wave. The problem is solved self-consistent approximation, taking into account retardation effects. use Drude model to describe conductivity system. spectrum exhibits series peaks corresponding excitation waves. position and linewidth designating, re...

The authors compute the dynamical phase diagram for relaxation of a classical spin, exchange coupled to local magnetic moment at an edge site one-dimensional spinful Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. role topological state and its internal Zeeman splitting spin-relaxation process, as well incomplete spin on long time scales, can be explained within framework renormalized linear response approach, whe...

We propose a demodulation algorithm based on the calculus of complex Fourier coefficients; we used dual rotating polarizer-analyzer polarimeter to show feasibility our proposal. Our considers frequency response obtained by system, and its possible calculate total retardation, fast axis orientation ellipticity sample. proposal does not require recovering full Mueller matrix from getting those pa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the activity patterns of inpatients with unipolar depression, who had been divided into groups with and without motor retardation prior to actigraphy monitoring. METHOD Twenty-four-hour actigraphy recordings from 52 consecutively, acutely admitted inpatients with unipolar depression (ICD-10) were compared to recordings from 28 healthy controls. The patients, admitted betw...

We developed a new theory-based azimuthal phase retardation microscope to visualize distributions of actin filaments in biological cells without having them with exogenous dyes, fluorescence labels, or stains. The azimuthal phase retardation microscope visualizes distributions of actin filaments by measuring the intensity variations of each pixel of a charge coupled device camera while rotating...

Background Mental retardation is a developmental disability that first appears at children under the age of 18. About 5% of the mentally retarded population is affected by severe mental retardation. Approximately 20% of the population with mental deficience presents moderate mental retardation and about 75% have mild mental retardation. A very important factor that cause mental retardation of c...
