in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on yield and yield components of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.), an experiment was carried out at the research field of faculty of agriculture; shiraz university, using a split factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. the main factor was irrigation stop at different growth stages of chi...

Due to increasing scarcity of fresh water, use of unconventional water source (e.g., wastewater) in irrigation has now become important. However, inclusive information on the effects of wastewater on crop production and soil health is necessary for such intervention. This study was designed to evaluate these effects by demonstrating the contribution of municipal wastewater (hereafter called was...

In an ongoing investigation of the effects of age on G protein-coupled receptor signaling in human atrial tissue, we have found that the density of atrial muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) increases with age but reaches statistical significance only in patients with diabetes. Moreover, we find that in elderly subjects of similar ages, those with diabetes have 1.7-fold higher levels of G...

1 → I g,r → M n g,r → Sp(2g,Z) → 1. We omit the decorations n and r when they are zero. In a series of papers [7, 8, 9, 10], D. Johnson obtained several fundamental results concerning the structure of Ig and Ig,1 (see also [11, 2]). In particular, he proved that Ig and Ig,1 are finitely generated for all g ≥ 3. On the contrary, A. Miller and D. McCullough [14] showed that I2 (and hence I n 2,r ...

Nomenclature = normalized Euler rotation axis i<1-3> = indices of first, second and third Euler rotation, e.g. if rotation sequence is 3-2-1, i1 is 3, i2 is 2, and i3 is 1 i<1-3>n = next circular index following i<1-3>, e.g. if i2 = 3, i2n = 1 i<1-3>nn = next circular index following i<1-3>n, e.g. if i2n = 3, i2nn = 2 = Quaternion = = operator: rotation of vector by a quaternion vi = unit vecto...

Proposition 0.1. Let R be a commutative ring. TFAE: 1. Every ideal in R is finitely generated. 2. Every chain of ideals I1 ⊆ I2 ⊆ · · · is stable. That is, there exists n such that In = In+1 = · · · . 3. Every nonempty set of ideals has a maximal element wrt inclusion. Proof. 1. (1) =⇒ (2). I = ⋃ k Ik ideal in R. I is generated by x1, x2, . . . xm. There exists n such that x1, . . . , xm ∈ In. ...

The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 1D/1B receptors have gained particular interest as potential targets for treatment of migraine and depression. G-protein coupling and other intrinsic properties of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor were studied using a baculovirus-based expression system in Sf9 cells. Coexpression of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor with Galpha(i1), alpha(i2), alpha(i3), or Galpha(o)-protein...
