H2O2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play important functions in plant stress responses, but their roles in acclimation response remain unclear. This study examined the functions of H2O2 and MPK1/2 in acclimation-induced cross-tolerance in tomato plants. Mild cold, paraquat, and drought as acclimation stimuli enhanced tolerance to more severe subsequent chilling, photooxida...

In Rough Set Theory, dependency in the knowledge base is an important aspect when drawing inferences about the world. Rough set (inexact set) is defined by using a fixed binary relation (equivalence relation, tolerance relation, similarity relation, etc) to analyze vague, imprecise, inexact problems, which satisfy many interesting properties. The neighborhood based rough set theory is an extens...

BACKGROUND Biomarkers for estimating reduced glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, or impaired insulin secretion would be clinically useful, since these physiologic measures are important in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 94 individuals, of whom 84 had 1 or more risk factors and 10 had no known risk factors for diabetes, u...

On Strong Fault Tolerance (or Strong Menger-Connectivity) of Multicomputer Networks. (August 2004) Eunseuk Oh, B.S., Hallym University, Korea; M.S., Ewha Womans University, Korea Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Jianer Chen As the size of networks increases continuously, dealing with networks with faulty nodes becomes unavoidable. In this dissertation, we introduce a new measure for network fau...

In this paper we obtain an upper bound and also a lower bound for maximum edges of strongly 2 multiplicative graphs of order n. Also we prove that triangular ladder the graph obtained by duplication of an arbitrary edge by a new vertex in path and the graphobtained by duplicating all vertices by new edges in a path and some other graphs are strongly 2 multiplicative
