Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is one of the important methods for hybrid seed production in cruciferous crops. The lack a restorer fertility gene (Rfo) Brassica rapa L. restricts development and utilization its germplasm resources. In this research, napus with Rfo was used to restore CMS B. golden heart trait. Through distant cross two four napus, six interspecific combinations receive...

Literatures have reported that a lot of drought related genes were cloned and individual gene showed positive effects under controlled stress experiments, but were not much effective in the field. Although, the progresses by conventional breeding approaches were achievable as some drought varieties have been released to the farmers in the recent years but this is not adequate to cope up with th...

The rotor assisted population transfer (RAPT) sequence is used to enhance the sensitivity of the RIACT(II) experiment for spin-3/2 quadrupolar nuclei. A detailed theoretical analysis of the polarizations that contribute to different types of MQ-MAS experiments is provided. In particular, two polarization pathways are distinguished for the creation of triple-quantum coherence. The existence of t...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether short-term propulsion of a functional electrical stimulation-assisted leg-cycling wheelchair (FES-LW) in patients with stroke can reduce spasticity of the affected leg and whether FES has additional effects on reducing spasticity. DESIGN Within-subject comparison. SUBJECTS A total of 17 patients after stroke were recruited from the university hospital. METHO...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the modified ashworth scale (mas) by using both the conventional (hmax/mmax ratio) and the new indicators (hslp/mslp) of motoneuron excitability. this research was a correlational study on twenty post-stroke patients. main outcome measures were the mas and electrophysiologic assessments. the latter was performed using both conventiona...

Background The concept of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) is rapidly evolving in animal and plant breeding. With the advent of high throughput molecular technology, numerous molecular markers distributed throughout the whole genome can be produced to characterize many genetic entries involving new perspectives in methodology of selection. An important research activity has begun in the animal w...

Rice, as one of the staple food crops in world, is reduced by 10~30% every year due to damage rice blast. However, application marker assistant selection (MAS) with disease resistance genes can be effectively, accurately and rapidly used breed blast resistant varieties. The gene  Pi-k h  has been proved have broad-spectrum blast. Therefore, utilization of   gene MA...

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is an important foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Leaf rust resistance gene Lr42 from Aegilops tauschii Coss. has been used as a source of rust resistance in breeding programs. To identify molecular markers closely linked to Lr42, a segregating population of nearisogenic lines contrasting for the presence of Lr42 was develo...

Multi agent systems (MAS) are popularly used in practice, however; a few studies have looked at MAS capabilities from the power engineering perspective. This paper presents the results of an investigation concerning the compatibility of MAS capabilities in different power engineering categories. Five MAS capabilities and seven power system categories are established. A framework for applying MA...

Computer assisted surgery navigation takes full advantage of progress in engineering disciplines. Developed models increase the accuracy of replacement technique, especially in hip surgery to reduce the risk of component malpositioning. This paper presents a 3D model reconstruction from contour extracted through a proposed multi-agent segmentation (MAS) approach. We first describe parallel agen...
