BACKGROUND Flooding significantly reduces the growth and grain yield of soybean plants. Proteomic and biochemical techniques were used to determine whether the function of cotyledon and root is altered in soybean under flooding stress. RESULTS Two-day-old soybean plants were flooded for 2 days, after which the proteins from root and cotyledon were extracted for proteomic analysis. In response...

This review of the literature examines the impact of poverty on the quality of life in families of children with disabilities. Twenty-eight percent of children with disabilities, ages 3 to 21, are living in families whose total income is less than the income threshold set by the U.S. Census Bureau. This review found a variety of impacts of poverty on the five dimensions of family, including hea...

Fixed dose combination (FDC) products are gaining more interest by pharma companies worldwide considering their importance in treating the disease and the increased safety/efficacy profile. Very few general guidelines are available with respect to FDCs in USA whereas Europe has some guidelines while India has just started developing such guidelines. Indian market is flooded with several irratio...

The paper presents recent studies on spatial and temporal characterization of the clogging of a large infiltration system and main factors affecting its evolution. Thickness, organic content, density, particle size distribution, biomass and saturated hydraulic conductivity were then evaluated during 10 campaigns from September 2009 to February 2011. The results show that the sediment accumulati...

Excess water in the form of waterlogged soil or deeper submergence (generically termed 'flooding') influences plant growth, survival and species distribution in many natural ecosystems. It also has a negative impact on crop growth and yield since many agricultural species are flooding intolerant. The often devastating effect of flooding on plant performance is related to its interference with g...

Flooding is a fundamental operation in wireless ad hoc networks to propagate control messages in the entire network. The traditional flooding scheme generates excessive packet retransmissions, resource contention, and collisions since every node forwards the packet at least once. Several flooding schemes have been proposed to avoid these problems. However, these unnecessary forwarding nodes rem...

In May 2014, the Balkans were hit by a Vb-type cyclone that brought disastrous flooding and severe damage to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia. Vb cyclones migrate from the Mediterranean, where they absorb warm and moist air, to the north, often causing flooding in central/eastern Europe. Extreme rainfall events are increasing on a global scale, and both thermodynamic and dynamical me...

This review summarizes the research on physiological responses to flooding of trees in the seasonal black-water wetland of the Mapire River in Venezuela. Inter-annual variability was found during 8 years of sampling, in spite of which a general picture emerged of increased stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthetic rate (PN) during the flooded period to values as high as or higher than in pla...

One of the important protocols in IPv6 implementation is ICMPv6 which is used for neighbor and router discovery. However, this protocol also could be used by attackers to deny network services like ICMPv6 flood attacks which network decreases performance. In ICMPv6 flooding attacks detection, behavioural-based approaches, particularly suffer from the unavailability of the benchmark datasets. Th...
