Information on photoperiod and temperature sensitivity of sorghum germplasm is important to identify appropriate sources for developing cultivars with a broad adaptation. The mini core collection consisting 242 accessions along three control were evaluated days 50% flowering (DFL) plant height in two long-day rainy short-day post-rainy seasons, grain yield 100-seed weight the seasons. Differenc...

Introduction: The origin of neonatal oocyte development is unknown. However, estrogen plays an essential role during development of the female reproductive system. Anastrozole is used as both ovulation stimulating and an anticancer drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Anastrozole on follicular development and differentiation in mice. Materials and methods: In the present s...

We study the mean length (l)(k) of the shortest paths between a vertex of degree k and other vertices in growing networks, where correlations are essential. In a number of deterministic scale-free networks we observe a power-law correction to a logarithmic dependence, (l)(k) = A ln[N/k((gamma-1)/2)]-Ck(gamma-1)/N+ in a wide range of network sizes. Here N is the number of vertices in the network...

BACKGROUND Levels of salt consumption and its awareness among medical students in Angola remain insufficiently studied. This study determined salt intake and assessed medical students' knowledge, attitude and behaviour regarding salt consumption. METHODS Were collected 24-hour urine samples from a random sample of 123 undergraduate medical students aged 17-43 years who were studying at the Un...

Photosynthetic acclimation under elevated carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and/or ozone (O(3)) has been the topic of discussion in many papers recently. We examined whether or not aspen plants grown under elevated CO(2) and/or O(3) will acclimate after 11 years of exposure at the Aspen Face site in Rhinelander, WI, USA. We studied diurnal patterns of instantaneous photosynthetic measurements as well as A...

Information distributed through the Web keeps growing faster day by day, and for this reason, several techniques for extracting Web data have been suggested during last years. Often, extraction tasks are performed through so called wrappers, procedures extracting information from Web pages, e.g. implementing logic-based techniques. Many fields of application today require a strong degree of rob...

Cloud computing is gaining popularity day by day in IT as well as in academics. As with the increase in demand of cloud computing, the demand of large data centers is also growing day by day. Data centers are serving the growing demand of computation, memory, and networking therefore data centers are the main source of energy consumption in cloud environment. Energy consumption of data centers ...
