An aim of systems physiology today can be stated as to establish logical and quantitative bridges between phenomenological attributes of physiological entities such as cells and organs and physical attributes of biological entities, i.e., biological molecules, allowing us to describe and better understand physiological functions in terms of underlying biological functions. This article illustra...

b t T a e t n fi b This paper demonstrates the necessity to consider lants as an essential and interactive component of iological control practices. Plants not only possess irect chemical and morphological defenses against erbivores but also benefit from indirect defenses rovided by parasitoids and predators, which use erbivores as hosts or prey. Plants play an active role n the interplay betwe...

to study the yield and change the attributes associated with it, the field experiments were conducted at the gorgan university of agricultural sciences research farm, gorgan, iran in the growing seasons of 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 under well-watered conditions. the 16 cultivars were sown in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the results showed that during breeding activi...

We investigated the critical contribution of right ventral occipitotemporal cortex to knowledge of visual and functional-associative attributes of biological and non-biological entities and how this relates to category-specificity during confrontation naming. In a consecutive series of 7 patients with lesions confined to right ventral occipitotemporal cortex, we conducted an extensive assessmen...

Honey is a natural product with many attributes that are useful for humans. The consumption of honey is increasing because of its beneficial biological properties, including antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Even though honey is produced worldwide, many variants of this product have not been studied and their biological potential for alternative uses has not been evaluated. Because of i...

Biological process enrichment is a widely used metric for evaluating the quality of multiprotein modules. In this study, we examine possible optimization criteria for detecting homologous multiprotein modules and quantify their effects on biological process enrichment. We find that modularity, linear density, and module size are the most important criteria considered, complementary to each othe...
