Amphicarpic plants produce aerial and subterranean fruits on an individual plant, and these heteromorphic diaspores give rise to plants that differ in growth and ecology. Amphicarpaea edgeworthii is a summer annual amphicarpic species that grows over a range of light levels. We aimed to compare the response to shading intensity of plants of A. edgeworthii grown throughout their life cycle from ...

It has been well documented that language specific cues—such as transitional probability (TP), stress and phonotactics—can be used for word segmentation. In our current work, we investigate what role a phonological universal, the sonority sequencing principle (SSP), may also play. Participants were presented with an unsegmented stream of speech from an artificial language with non-English onset...

Scintiphotosplenoportography (SSP) was performed in 190 instances in 161 patients. No significant complications, such as severe pain or splenic haemorrhage, were encountered in any of the patients studied. Flow patterns of SSP were classified into nine groups according to the direction of collateral flow. Hepatopetal collateral flow was frequently observed in pancreatic cancer. In portal hypert...

We propose a parameter server system for distributed ML, which follows a Stale Synchronous Parallel (SSP) model of computation that maximizes the time computational workers spend doing useful work on ML algorithms, while still providing correctness guarantees. The parameter server provides an easy-to-use shared interface for read/write access to an ML model's values (parameters and variables), ...

We investigate the strong stability preserving (SSP) property of two-step Runge– Kutta (TSRK) methods. We prove that all SSP TSRK methods belong to a particularly simple subclass of TSRK methods, in which stages from the previous step are not used. We derive simple order conditions for this subclass. Whereas explicit SSP Runge–Kutta methods have order at most four, we prove that explicit SSP TS...

Angiosperm stigmas have long been known to exhibit high levels of peroxidase activity when they are mature and most receptive to pollen but the biological function of stigma peroxidases is not known. A novel stigma-specific class III peroxidase gene, SSP (stigma-specific peroxidase) expressed exclusively in the stigmas of Senecio squalidus L. (Asteraceae) has recently been identified. Expressio...

The bacterium, Acidovorax avenae ssp. avenae causes several important plant diseases including bacterial stripe of rice, bacterial stalk rot of corn, bacterial leaf blight of oats, and red stripe of sugarcane and millet. Although the organism is seed-borne in rice, no reliable seed assay is available. A semiselective liquid medium based on d-sorbitol and l-pyroglutamic acid (SP medium), and two...

Background: Natural plant extracts and microbial antagonists have the potential for use in increasing fungal resistance productivity of horticulture plants. Methods: The purpose this study was to evaluate ability both natural as a biotical control some pathogens, i.e., Fusarium ssp., Exserohilum ssp. Nigrospora along with improving growth performance zucchini under greenhouse conditions. Eucaly...

A Comparative study was carried out in different shrimp processing industries at Rupsha Upazila under Khulna district from January 2010 to December 2010. In the experiment, some water quality parameters were determined sketch nutrient dynamics of experimental area. The contents analyzed for measuring temperature, pH, EC, salinity, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble percentage (SSP), hardnes...
