The application of AFLPs, and SSRs to examine genetic relationships in the 54 accessions of Aegilops tauschii from 5 countries was investigated. A total of 256 (234 polymorphic) and 224 (219 polymorp...

the investigations were carried out in 2007 on the fruit of 7 native early-ripening apple cultivars grown in karaj climatic conditions, harvested in two phenological stages of maturity and ripenning. the harvested samples were stored at (0 ± 0.5) c and (85 ± 5) % of humidity. the measured sensorial traits consisted in: aroma, flavor, sweetness, flesh quality and general acceptability achieved ...

In this article we propose models and a numerical method for pattern formation on evolving curved surfaces. We formulate reaction-diffusion equations on evolving surfaces using the material transport formula, surface gradients and diffusive conservation laws. The evolution of the surface is defined by a material surface velocity. The numerical method is based on the evolving surface finite elem...

The current study examined the effect of empathy on friendship quality in the context of dyadic same-sex friendships, and how such an effect might be mediated by interpersonal competence. A special version of the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) was used to examine this hypothesis in 146 same-sex friend dyads in 10th grade. Results showed that empathy was positively related to intimac...
