to locate the genes controlling adaptability in bread wheat using ammi (additive main effect and multiplicative interaction) model, twenty-one substitution lines derived from the parents chinese spring (recipient) and chayan (donor) were used in a randomized complete block design with three replications in three different environments in the agricultural college of razi university, kermanshah, ...

OBJECTIVE Cardiac subsarcolemmal (SSM) and interfibrillar (IFM) mitochondrial subpopulations possess distinct biochemical properties and differ with respect to their protein and lipid compositions, capacities for respiration and protein synthesis, and sensitivity to metabolic challenge, yet their responsiveness to mitochondrially active cardioprotective therapeutics has not been characterized. ...

Years ago a debate arose as to whether two functionally different mitochondrial subpopulations, subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM) and interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM), exist in heart muscle. Nowadays potential differences are often ignored. Presumably, SSM are providing ATP for basic cell function, whereas IFM provide energy for the contractile apparatus. We speculated that two distinguishable...

The 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) proposal recognizes 2 provisional indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) subvariants: smoldering systemic mastocytosis (SSM) and isolated bone marrow (BM) mastocytosis (BMM).1 SSM is characterized by a high burden of mast cells (MCs; Table 1), whereas BMM is defined by BM involvement without concurrent skin involvement or presence of multiorgan visceral le...

A model of the Iranian wheat market is specified and fitted to data from 1981-2008. Severaldiagnostic tests were employed in the analysis to determine the specification of the model. Despitethe simplicity of the model and data problems, an examination of the econometric model leads toseveral conclusions with possible important policy implications for the wheat economy in Iran.The general result...

UNLABELLED Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) establish chronic infections that spread from a primary entry site to secondary vascular sites, such as the spleen, and then to tertiary shedding sites, such as the salivary glands. Human CMV (HCMV) is difficult to analyze, because its spread precedes clinical presentation. Murine CMV (MCMV) offers a tractable model. It is hypothesized to spread from peripher...

Interleukin 3 (IL-3) activity was demonstrated when inguinal lymph node cells obtained from Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-sensitized mice (BCG-ILNC) were stimulated in vitro with SSM, an immunomodulator extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The IL-3 activity was first detected on Day 1 in culture fluids of BCG-ILNC stimulated with SSM, reached a peak on Day 3, and then gradually decreased. The ...

This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which has been adapted as an alternative to other classical models for estimating the vehicle delays at signalized junctions. Rules, fuzzification, and inference were modeled by ANFIS. In this model, a hybrid algorithm was used for training and tests. The artificial network used three input variables representing simulation o...

The study object is wheat. Through the observation and analysis on the morphological structure of wheat plant, the concepts of macrostate, substate and microstate are put forward, the wheat growth mechanism model is established, and thus the description and control of wheat morphogenesis process could be realized. Based on the branch structure characteristics of plant, the wheat morphological d...

In this theoretical investigation, we combine the results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a simple statistical sputtering model (SSM) in order to understand the factors limiting the optimum depth resolution achievable in sputter depth profiling experiments. The advantage of the SSM model is that it can be used to extrapolate the MD simulations toward the regime of high projectile fl...
