Land degradation and soil erosion in the upper catchments of tropical lakes fringed by papyrus vegetation can result in a sediment load gradient from land to lakeward. Understanding the dynamics of clonal modules (ramets and genets) and growth strategies of plants on such a gradient in both space and time is critical for exploring a species adaptation and processes regulating population structu...

Contractile function is considered to be precisely measurable only by invasive hemodynamics. We aimed to correlate strain values measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) with sensitive contractility parameters of pressure-volume (P-V) analysis in a rat model of exercise-induced left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. LV hypertrophy was induced in rats by swim training and was compared wit...

Abstract Background In the scenario of lung lesions, differential diagnosis is important, since treatment determined by characteristics lesion. The goal in evaluation pulmonary lesions to distinguish malignant from benign a non-invasive manner as possible. Since, CT not sufficient accurately nodules and patients with might undergo invasive diagnostic methods, such biopsy or video-assisted thora...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate different stocking rates heifers on corn snaplage residue as an exclusive source fiber finishing phase performance. Immediately after the harvest, area divided into sixteen paddocks, and treatments were randomly assigned. two (SR): 1) low rate (LSR; 3.5 AU/ha), 2) high (HSR; 7.0 AU/ha). obtained by modifying size paddocks. Crossbred beef (n =...

Purpose: previous studies have suggested that thigh muscle imbalance may be a risk factor for knee injury. The Present study aimed to compare Hamstring-to-Quadriceps (H:Q) Ratio and dynamic stability between the two lower limbs of elderly people. Methods: This was a correlational study and by nonprobability sampling 19 healthy community doweling elderly (age=65.93±3.53 yrs.) p...

It has been shown that the adverse effects of salinity can vary between different varieties same plant species. This study was conducted to determine tolerability three newly released lines maize saline conditions when primed with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and salicylic (SA) each at 1.0 M concentration; seeds distilled water were used as control. Concentrations 0, 50, 100, 150 30...

this study sougth to the effect of occ pulp fractionation on produced paper strength properties improvement. using a pressure screen, occ pulp was devided to tow distinct fractions of accept ratio (short fibers) and reject ratio (long fibers) in accordance with optimum condition of fractionation based on the previous studies. in the next stage, long fiber stream was refined and recombined with ...

Data fusion methods are often employed to balance contradiction between spectral information and spatial information of remotely sensed images. The fused images formed by an effective data fusion method based on remotely sensed data should have both high spectral information preservation with Low Spatial Resolution (LSR) images and high spatial information preservation with High Spatial Resolut...

Scavenger receptors (SRs) like cluster determinant 36 (CD36) and SR class B type I (SR-BI) play a debated role in lipid transport across the intestinal brush border membrane. We used surface plasmon resonance to analyze real-time interactions between the extracellular protein loops and various ligands ranging from single lipid molecules to mixed micelles. Micelles mimicking physiological struct...

Being a cross-camera retrieval task, person reidentification suffers from image style variations caused by different cameras. The art implicitly addresses this problem by learning a camera-invariant descriptor subspace. In this paper, we explicitly consider this challenge by introducing camera style (CamStyle) adaptation. CamStyle can serve as a data augmentation approach that smooths the camer...
