introduction crop productivity is highly constrained by water and nitrogen limitations in many areas of the world (kalra et al., 2007). therefore, there is a need to investigate more on nitrogen and water management to achieve higher production as well as quality. irrigated sugar beet in the cropping systems of khorasan province in northeastern of iran accounts for about 34% of the land area un...

Neural plasticity within the spinal nociceptive network may be fundamental to the chronic nature of neuropathic pain. The relation of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43), a protein involved in the nerve fiber growth and sprouting, to pain hypersensitivity has been investigated. Glial activation and inflammatory cytokines released by microglia and astrocytes are considered to be involved in th...

We describe a refined calculation of high energy emission from rotationpowered pulsars based on the Outer Gap model of Cheng, Ho & Ruderman (1986a,b). In this calculation, vacuum gaps form in regions near the speed-oflight cylinder of the pulsar magnetosphere along the boundary between the closed and open field line zones. We have improved upon previous efforts to model the spectra from these p...

We study the structure of an outer-magnetospheric gap around a rotating neutron star. Migratory electrons and positrons are accelerated by the electric field exerted in the gap and radiate copious gamma-rays via curvature process. Some of the gamma-rays materialize by colliding with the X-rays illuminating the gap, leading to a pair production cascade. The replenished charges partially screen t...

PURPOSE Conditional inactivation of connexin43 (Cx43) in the pigmented epithelium of the mouse eye results in a reduction in aqueous humor production and complete loss of the vitreous chamber. It was proposed that gap junctions between pigmented and nonpigmented epithelia of the ciliary body are critical for the production of the aqueous humor. To form such junctions, Cx43 in the pigmented epit...

We investigate the cross-section for the production of a low-mass coloursinglet cluster in ee annihilation with a large rapidity gap between the colour-singlet cluster and the other jets. It is argued that such events are the cross-channel analogue of large-rapidity-gap events in deep-inelastic scattering, and therefore could in principle be used to investigate the analytic continuation of the ...

Colloidal GaP nanowires (NWs) were synthesized on a large scale by a surfactant-free, self-seeded solution-liquid-solid (SLS) method using triethylgallium and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine as precursors and a noncoordinating squalane solvent. Ga nanoscale droplets were generated in situ by thermal decomposition of the Ga precursor and subsequently promoted the NW growth. The GaP NWs were not in...

Bank of Japan May 2011 The earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011 has reduced the supply capacity of the economy, which works in the direction of tightening the output gap. At the same time, however, if weak household and corporate sentiment lead to a decline in aggregate demand, this will work in the direction of increasing the slack in the economy. Moreover, developments in supply and dem...

The use of energy flow is investigated as a diagnostic tool for determining the color SU(3) representation of new resonances. It is found that the pattern of soft gluon radiation into a rapidity gap depends on color flow in the hard scattering, and reflects the gauge content of new physics. The massive soft anomalous dimension matrix for rapidity gap events is introduced for describing soft glu...

Pistachio paste is produced from ground roasted kernel. This study focused on the influence of the milling process on colloidal stability, rheological behavior and color of pistachio paste. The colloidal stability of pistachio paste samples increased with a reduction of particle size from 31.4 to 15.10µm. The Herschel-Bulkley model was found to be the best model to describe the flow behavior of...
