Photoperiod dependent flowering is one of several mechanisms used by plants to initiate the developmental transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. The NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) transcription factors are heterotrimeric complexes composed of NF-YA and histone-fold domain (HFD) containing NF-YB/NF-YC, that initiate photoperiod-dependent flowering by cooperatively interacting with CO...

In Southeast Alaska, many stands of yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis (D. Don) Oerst. ex D.P. Little; hereinafter “YC”) contain numerous standing, dead snags. Snag-age estimates based on tree morphology have been used to support the interpretation that a warming climate after ca. 1880 has triggered unprecedented YC dieback. Here, we present new snag longevity by cross-dating 61 snags with...

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic and phenotypic correlations of egg quality traits in Khazak chicken. Albumen height (AH), albumen weight (AW), eggshell color (ESC), yolk color (YC), eggshell index, long length of egg (ELL), short length of egg (ESL), eggshell weight (ESW), egg weight (EW), Haugh units, and yolk weight (YW) were measured in 201 eggs collected 6 d sequentiall...

this paper gives a new application of dea to evaluate the scheduling solutions of parallel processing. it evaluates the scheduling solutions of parallel processing using the non-convex dea model, fdh model. by introducing each solution of parallel processing scheduling as a dmu with some relevant inputs and outputs this paper shows that how the most efficient schedule(s) can be identified.

The objective of this study is to identify and integrate relevant literature on the treasury yield also called government securities (G-Secs) underpin research framework in India. Specifically, paper scrutinizes factors affecting Indian G-Secs market. integrated efforts synthesize varied market, yield, influencing curve (YC) will help researchers market understand framework.

preventive maintenance scheduling of generating units is addressed as a long-term scheduling in power system studies aiming to increase the reliability incorporating cost reduction. it consists of knowing which generating units should be shut down for regular safety inspection. in this paper, a new formulation of preventive maintenance scheduling associated with cost reduction index (cri) is pr...

Ocular infections may be bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic in aetiology. Pharmacological preparations are available to treat infections that are caused by these groups of organisms. The majority of these preparations are intended for topical administration, although some systemically administered agents may be needed to treat or prevent specific ocular infections. This article discusses the...

This study proposes measures to improve urban heritage conservation in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, by comparing it with Yokohama (YC), Japan. Based on past literature development stages management, two aspects critical for successful conservation—legal framework and management structure—were examined. The common drawbacks associated these countermeasures taken advancem...
