Intraspecific variation in crop responses to global climate change conditions would provide opportunities to adapt crops to future climates. These experiments explored intraspecific variation in response to elevated CO₂ and to high temperature during anthesis in Chenopodium quinoa Wild. Three cultivars of quinoa were grown to maturity at 400 ("ambient") and 600 ("elevated") μmol·mol-1 CO₂ conce...

The fruits of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) are consumed throughout the world and are an important part of the diet in the Middle East. Dates at the rutab and tamar maturity and ripening stages contain a wide array of phenolic antioxidants, but little is known about the composition of phenolic compounds in dates at the khalal stage of ripening. In the current study, the flavonoid glycosid...

This study evaluates the contributions of age, growth, skeletal maturation, playing position and training to longitudinal changes in functional and skill performance in male youth soccer. Players were annually followed over 5 years (n = 83, 4.4 measurements per player). Composite scores for functional and skill domains were calculated to provide an overall estimate of performance. Players were ...

introduction: today, many organizations attempt to fully develop in gradual evolution of their processes. pcmm is one of the models which focus on improving organizational human capabilities. this model is applied to continually increase people's ability to attract, develop, motivate, organize and retain the skills. in this study, pcmm was used to investigate organizational maturity needs in me...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) in healthy female Brazilian adolescents in five groups looking at chronological age, bone age, and pubertal breast stage, and determining BMD behavior for each classification. METHODS Seventy-two healthy female adolescents aged between 10 to 20 incomplete years were divided into five groups and evaluated for calcium int...

Source rocks from a marine depositional setting from Palaeozoic formations in the Holy Cross Mountains region (Midlands, Poland) were analysed for aromatics using capillary gas chromatography±mass spectrometry (GC±MS). The occurrence of two novel series of aromatic hydrocarbons in these sediments, namely phenyl derivatives of fused ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PhPAH) and polyphenyls (...

This study aimed to evaluate the productive performance of third-generation quails selected according color plumage produce a hybrid line distinguished by depending on plumage. 48 females different (Black, Golden, White and Brown) were compared transferred at age five weeks. To hall dedicated breeding containing rooms with dimensions 40 x cm numbered. The randomly distributed individually for e...

Selection from novel orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) germplasm sources resulted in the development of an early maturing population. Fifty-eight families comprise this population and were evaluated under frequent infrequent harvest intervals at Lewiston Millville, UT, field locations during 2013 2014. The objective study was to characterize performance individual when compared with check cu...

We study the probability mass at the origin in the SABR stochastic volatility model, and derive several tractable expressions for it, in particular when time becomes small or large. In the uncorrelated case, tedious saddlepoint expansions allow for (semi) closed-form asymptotic formulae. As an application–the original motivation for this paper–we derive small-strike expansions for the implied v...
