Pistachio yield are often negatively affected by some physiological problems such as abscission of inflorescence buds and fruits, deformed or blank nuts, and non-split shells. In the present study the effect of exogenous application of arginine (Arg) (a substrate for nitric oxide (NO) synthase) and sodium nitroproside (SNP), as a NO-donor was investigated on yield production, fruit and inflores...

Two studies are presented, in which emotional vocal recordings were made using a computer emotion induction task and an imagination technique. Concurrent recordings were made of a variety of physiological parameters, including electroglottograph, respiration, electrocardiogram, and surface electromyogram (muscle tension). Acoustic parameters pertaining to voice quality, including F0 floor, F0 r...

The retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) have diverse morphology and physiology. Although some studies show that correlations between morphological properties and physiological properties exist in cat RGCs, these properties are much less distinct and their correlations are unknown in mouse RGCs. In this study, using three-dimensional digital neuron reconstruction, we systematically analyzed twelve mor...
