BACKGROUND Soybean is a short-day crop of agricultural, ecological, and economic importance. The sensitive photoperiod responses significantly limit its breeding and adaptation. GmFT2a, a putative florigen gene with different transcription profiles in two cultivars (late-maturing Zigongdongdou and early-maturing Heihe 27) with different maturity profiles, is key to flowering and maturation. How...

The importance of adopting digital transformation for manufacturing companies is increasing day by day. In order to implement process effectively, need tools based on Maturity Models (MM). This paper aims present existing MMs in the literature terms their maturity levels and dimensions. According literature, it can be said that which are given this study similar other categorical papers. On han...

                In order to determine the best developmental stage of three common bean cultivars (Talash, COS16 and Khomain) at which maximum seed quality is attained under different irrigation regimes (I1-irrigation after 60 mm, I2-irrigation after 80 mm and I3-irrigation after 100 mm evaporation from class A pan), a split plot experiment (using R.C.B. design) with 3 replications was conducte...

introduction: standard semen analysis is routinly used to evaluate the male fertility, however some researchers belive that sperm functional test should also be used with standard semen analysis for more precise evaluation of male fertility. the aim of this study was to consider the relation between different nuclear maturity tests and in vitro fertilization, in order to select the nuclear matu...

Objective: Environmental and economic challenges resulting from the application of nitrogen fertilizers have increased Concerns about its productivity in the agricultural systems. Thus an experiment in order to investigate ability SSM-Wheat for simulation growth and yield of wheat (cultivar N-87-20) in response to fertilizer nitrogen in the direction decrease Pollution environm...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of two different activation protocols on the timing and intensity of pain during rapid maxillary expansion (RME). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 112 prepubertal patients (54 males and 58 females, mean age 11.00 ± 1.80 years) with constricted maxillary arches underwent RME with two different activation protocols (group 1: one activation/day; group 2: tw...

We provide an axiomatic foundation for decision making in a complex environment. We do not assume that the decision maker has complete structural knowledge of the environment. Instead the agent knows the set of actions he can take, he formulates preferences directly on the actions, and chooses according to these preferences. On the basis of experience he modi ̄es these preferences according to a...

We consider an age-maturity structured model arising from a blood cell proliferation problem. This model is "hybrid", i.e., continuous in time and age but the maturity variable is discrete. This is due to the fact that we include the cell division marker carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester. We use our mathematical analysis in conjunction with experimental data taken from the divisio...
