In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized rational Okamoto–Painlevé pair (S, Y ) by generalizing the notion of the spaces of initial conditions of Painlevé equations. After classifying those pairs, we will establish an algebro-geometric approach to derive the Painlevé differential equations from the deformation of Okamoto–Painlevé pairs by using the local cohomology groups. Moreover...

Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most widely used turfgrasses for home lawns, golf courses, parks, and athletic fields in temperate climates. Oxidative stress caused by drought stress is a major limiting factor for grass cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Prohexadione-Calcium (Pro-Ca) may play a role in promoting ...

Previous research showed that foliar boron (B) application at flowering or seed-fill growth stages altered seed protein, oil, and fatty acids. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of foliar B fertilizer on seed phenolics (phenol, lignin, and isoflavones) and sugars concentrations. A repeated greenhouse experiment was conducted on soybean [(Glycine max(L.) Merr.)] under ...

We can think of yoku and yoku(mo) as expressing the attitude of the speaker to the proposition φ in their scope. Both express that φ is surprising, but differ in that yoku expresses that the speaker feels positively about φ, while yokumo expresses that the speaker feels negatively about φ. Other subtle differences exist, as will be shown below. It should be noted that other uses of yoku (but no...

Background & Aim: Drought stress, as a main abiotic stress, has a significant influence on growth and metabolic activities of plant species. In this study, the influence of reduced irrigation on dry herbage, essential oil yield, and chemical components of two thyme species were investigated. Experimental: This study was done in an experimental greenhouse, I.A.U., Shahrekord Branch, Iran at 201...

Programs of Science and Technology research have grown significantly in Brazil over the last decades. Until the 1980s the so-called undirected programs, without specific goals and requiring only scientific merit, prevailed. The few programs with defined goals in this period were never objectively assessed. The same situation occurred in developed countries. In the early 1990s, the assessment of...

An agent is asked to assess a real-valued variable Yp based on certain characteristics Xp = (X1 p , ...,X m p ), and on a database consisting (X1 i , ...,X m i , Yi) for i = 1, ..., n. A possible approach to combine past observations of X and Y with the current values of X to generate an assessment of Y is similarity-weighted averaging. It suggests that the predicted value of Y , Ȳ s p , be the...

The feature extraction of Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) is developed in a frequency domain regardless of the limitation in hardware architecture. We introduced a spectrum intensity ratio as a simple characterization and separation of SSVEP. However, it is difficult to classify an unseeing state of subjects. In this paper, we propose an adaptive threshold to reject the unseeing st...
