Abstract This paper presents a quantitative account of vegetation–environmental factor relationships in arid rangelands. Vegetation cover was recorded using Braun-Blanquet combined abundance-cover scale in each quadrat. Within each quadrat, one profile was dug and soil samples being taken at 0-20cm and 20-100cm depths. Under study physical-chemical characteristics included texture, lime, orga...

background: acute promyelocytic leukemia (apl) is a unique subtype of acute leukemia. apl is a curable disease; however, drug resistance, early mortality, disease relapse and treatment-related complications remain challenges in apl patient management. one issue underlying these challenges is that the molecular mechanisms of the disease are not sufficiently understood. materials and methods: in ...

The displacement field around an isolated elementary dislocation in a medium with one-dimensional periodicity is established experimentally. The system studied is a cholesteric fingerprint texture with a macroscopic ( approximately 10 microm) periodicity. The characteristic elastic length is smaller than the "interlayer" distance. As a result, the experimental dislocation profile deviates from ...

naqib al-mamalek shirazi, the court storyteller of naser al-din shah, has composed two tales: amir arsalan and malek jamshid. naqib created amir arsalan for naser al-din shah and retold it to him frequently, but he composed malek jamshid in a different condition. this essay attempts to study stylistic differences between the two texts. the goal is to show the role of textural factors and the ci...

Sensory evaluation techniques and instrumental analyses were used to investigate the changes in crumb appearance, texture properties and taste profile of bread containing tea antioxidants. Bread incorporating green tea extract (GTE) at the levels of 1.5 and 5.0 g/kg flour was analyzed concurrently with the control in a random order by panelists. Sensory analysis was carried out through a descri...

Fruit texture is a complex feature composed of mechanical and acoustic properties relying on the modifications occurring in the cell wall throughout fruit development and ripening. Apple is characterized by a large variation in fruit texture behavior that directly impacts both the consumer's appreciation and post-harvest performance. To decipher the genetic control of fruit texture comprehensiv...
