Gas-exchange measurements, including CO2-exchange rate (net photosynthesis), stomatal conductance, and transpiration, were conducted on intact and clipped cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda Raf.) seedlings growing in the field and in a nursery bed. Seedlings inthe field, released from midstory and understory woody competition, showed significant increases in gas-exchange compared to non-released se...

Alopecia areata (AA), the second most common form of hair loss in humans, is characterized by waxing and waning focal hair loss. Alopecic foci can expand to encompass the entire head (alopecia totalis) or body (alopecia universalis, AU). This cell mediated autoimmune disease is characterized histologically by the “swarm of bees”, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, NK cells, and fewer numbers of other types...

an equitable domination has interesting application in the contextof social networks. in a network, nodes with nearly equal capacitymay interact with each other in a better way. in the societypersons with nearly equal status, tend to be friendly. in thispaper, we introduce new variant of equitable domination of agraph. basic properties and some interesting results have beenobtained.

Plasmaspheric refilling on an L = 4 flux tube was studied by using a time-dePendent, hydrodynamic plasmaspheric flow model in which the ion streams from the tWO hemispheres are treated as distinct fluids. In the model the continuity, momentum, and energy equations of a twoion (O + and H+), quasi-neu.tral, currentless plasma are solved along aclosed geomagnetic field line; diffusive quilibrium i...
