Leaf rust (LR) and stripe (YR) are important diseases in wheat producing areas worldwide cause severe yield losses under favorable environmental conditions when susceptible varieties grown. We determined the genetic basis of resistance to LR YR variety Borlaug 100 by developing phenotyping a population 198 F 6 recombinant inbred lines derived from cross with parent Apav#1. were conducted for 4 ...

Words that are more predictable given a previous context show facilitated processing over low predictable ones. Such facilitation has been traditionally viewed as associated with reduced amplitudes in the N400 component. However, this effect is observed during the presentation of the target word, and it does not provide direct information about the prediction processes engaged before. To overco...

Stripe (yellow) rust disease caused by Puccinia striifarmis f. sp. tritici, is a catastrophic wheat in wheat-growing regions around the world. The objective of this study was to investigate potential sources stripe resistance and yield loss forty local varieties at four locations Egypt (Sakha, Mutubas, Qillin Biyala), under yellow pressure compared ‘Morroco’ variety, as control. To determine sl...

In the slow-wave (SW) state, the vast majority of cortical neurons exhibit mostly synchronized oscillatory activity. In this study, we examined the right-left hemispheric difference in slow-wave timings in urethane-anesthetized mice. We found that interhemispheric cross-correlograms of local field potentials (LFPs) peaked asymmetrically. Double in vivo whole-cell patch-clamp recordings also rev...

Neuronal population oscillations at a variety of frequencies can be readily seen in electroencephalographic (EEG) as well as local field potential recordings in many different species. Although these brain rhythms have been studied for many years, the methods for identifying discrete oscillatory epochs are still widely variable across studies. The "better oscillation detection" (BOSC) method ap...

In industrial assembly lines, seam sealing is a painting process used for making watertight seals or for preventing rusting. In the process, sealant is painted on seams located at the joints of pressed metal parts. We developed a sealing robot system that adjusts the sealing gun motion adaptively to the seam position sensed by a range sensor (a scanning laser rangefinder which senses profile ra...
