Bacteria are key in the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which are widespread environmental pollutants. At least six genotypes of PAH degraders are distinguishable via phylogenies of the ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase (RHD) that initiates bacterial PAH metabolism. A given RHD genotype can be possessed by a variety of bacterial genera, suggesting horizontal gene transfer...

a 4-month-old, intact male domestic short-hair cat was presented to veterinary hospital with an acuteonset of regurgitation and respiratory distress. thoracic and abdominal radiographs identified a massconsisted of a heterogeneous mixture of soft tissue and gas densities between heart and craniodorsal part of the diaphragm that was shifted to the left. the stomach could not be seen clearly. rad...

pasting is one of the most important properties of wheat starch determining the flour quality and functionality. twenty three new plant type (npt) wheat derivatives along with three checks (pbw 343, hd 2329, and raj 3765) have been studied in multi-location trials to assess the variation and environment induced fluctuations for their starch pasting properties. although all flour pasting charact...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. India is one of the largest rice-producing countries. Although more than 900 rice varieties have been released in India, many of them are no longer cultivated within a few years of release due to inconsistent performance in diverse environments; only a few varieties with stable performance continue to be under cultiv...

the ammi and sreg gge   are among the models that effectively capture the additive and multiplicative components of genotype × environment interaction (gei) and provide meaningful interpretation of multi-environment trials’ data set in the breeding programs. the objective of this study was to assess the effect of gei on grain yield of barely advanced lines and exploit the positive gei effect us...

Gender classification plays an important role in many applications such as surveillance systems and medical applications. Most of approaches for gender classification are based on the features of human face, voice and gait. Recently, gait-based approaches have been focused on more and more since the way they collect information about human gait is noncontact and non-invasive. Therefore, in this...

We developed a computationally efficient algorithm AMBIENCE, for identifying the informative variables involved in gene-gene (GGI) and gene-environment interactions (GEI) that are associated with disease phenotypes. The AMBIENCE algorithm uses a novel information theoretic metric called phenotype-associated information (PAI) to search for combinations of genetic variants and environmental varia...

Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is an important phenomenon in plant breeding. This paper presents a series of models for describing, exploring, understanding, and predicting GEI. All models depart from a two-way table of genotype by environment means. First, a series of descriptive and explorative models/approaches are presented: Finlay-Wilkinson model, AMMI model, GGE biplot. All of ...

To establish the method for qualitative and quantitative determination of gallic acid in Herba Gei. Gallic acid content is determined by HPLC with Diamonsil C18 column as the stationary phase, under the conditions of methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid in water (10:90) mobile phase, 271 nm detection wavelength, and 40°C column temperature. Peak area of gallic acid shows a good linearity with the inje...
