This study investigated the role of heading recency interacting with heading frequency in determining neuropsychological deficits associated with heading the ball during soccer play. Sixty-four high-ability male soccer players ages 16 to 34 completed the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT), the Trailmaking Test, the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), the Facial Recognition Test, th...

Humans perceive heading accurately when they rotate their eyes. This is remarkable, because (1) the pursuit eye movement makes the retinal flow more complicated; and (2) the eye rotation causes a continuous change of the heading direction on the retina. The first problem prevents a simple association of the centre of flow on the retina with the heading direction. To solve it, the brain needs to...

In vivo doubled haploid (DH) production based on crossing heterozygous germplasm with mtl inducer lines promises to transform modern rice (Oryza sativa) breeding. However, this technology is limited, as inducers and pollen acceptors have asynchronous heading dates. To address obstacle, we developed a panel of multiple-heading-date that produce for more than 35 days. We edited the MTL gene in hy...

Heading time is a major determinant of the adaptation of wheat to different environments, and is critical in minimizing risks of frost, heat, and drought on reproductive development. Given that major developmental genes are known in wheat, a process-based model, APSIM, was modified to incorporate gene effects into estimation of heading time, while minimizing degradation in the predictive capabi...

Understanding the stages of floral development is one of the major goals of crop breeding to produce new varieties that are better adapted to environmental cues with improved yield. The phase transition is a quantitative trait that is predominantly genetically controlled with a complex genetic network integrating endogenous and environmental factors. In recent years, it has become evident that ...

(g) pumps incorporating measuring devices, of heading 8413; weight–operated counting and checking machinery, or separately presented weights for balances (heading 8423); lifting or handling machinery (headings 8425 to 8428); paper or paperboard cutting machines of all kinds (heading 8441); fittings for adjusting work or tools on machine tools, of heading 8466, including fittings with optical de...
