drought is an important abiotic stress limiting plant performance. generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) is enhanced under stresses. two greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of phytohormones on the changes of antioxidant enzymes and carotenoids in petals of pot marigold (calendula officinalis l.) under drought stress. results showed that the activities of superoxid...

Hz. Ali’nin birçok kerametini barındıran ve onun üstünlüklerini dile getiren Alevî-Bektaşî sahası metinlerinden biri de Derviş Muhammed Yemînî’nin Fazîletnâmesidir. XVI. yüzyılın ilk yarısında kaleme alınan tercüme-telif niteliğindeki bu eserin zeminini Ali oluşturmakla birlikte, incelenen bazı nüshalarında Mühürnâme-yi Caferî başlıklı 73 beyitlik kısa bir mesneviye tesadüf olunmuştur. Vâle adl...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) encompasses malignancies that arise in the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. Recent high throughput DNA sequencing revealed HNSCC mutation profiles including genes that control several cancer cell characteristics, including dysregulation of proliferation and death signals, induction of inflammatory responses, and reprogramming of cell metabol...

Supplementary materials to the main paper. 1. Proofs Proof of Proposition 4 Proof. We have E[Sk] = ∑ i∈V Ezi [1{zi=k∧yi=k}] = ∑ i∈V pi(k)1{yi=k}. Likewise we have E[Tk] = ∑ i∈V Ezi [1{zi=k∨yi=k}] = ∑ i∈V Ezi [1{zi=k} + 1{yi=k} − 1{zi=k∧yi=k}] = ∑ i∈V (pi(k) + 1{yi=k} − pi(k) 1{yi=k}) = ∑ i∈V (1{yi=k} + pi(k) 1{yi 6=k}). Proof of Proposition 5 Proof. In (5) the first central moment 〈Tk〉 is alway...

It has been recognized that the stress-related peptides are involved in anxiety states. Angiotensin II receptor blockade by systemic administration of the AT(1) receptor antagonists has been proposed as a new treatment possibility for anxiety disorders. For better understanding of the related mechanisms, in this study we evaluated effects of bilateral intraamygdaloid injections of 2 (LOS 2) and...

salinity is among important soil stresses adversely affecting the process of nitrogen (n) fixation in leguminous plants in different parts of the world. it has been indicated that salinity can inhibit the early stages of nodulation process between bacterium and the host plant including the exchange of signal molecules (nod gene inducers). there has not been any research regarding the effects of...

This paper investigates the effects of support friction on mixed-mode I/II fracture behavior compacted clay using notched deep beam (NDB) specimens under symmetric fixed support. Numerical models 330 NDB were established considering crack inclination angle, length, span, and coefficient, normalized parameters (YI, YII, T*) calibrated. The numerical results showed that values YI, T* decreased at...

We tested German nine-month-olds' reliance on pitch and metrical stress for segmentation. In a headturn-preference paradigm, infants were familiarized with trisyllabic words (weak-strong-weak (WSW) stress pattern) in sentence-contexts. The words were presented in one of three naturally occurring intonation conditions: one in which high pitch was aligned with the stressed syllable and two misali...

Stomatal resistances and turgor pressures were measured during a 12-day period on leaves of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Contender) which were treated with kinetin, were salinized or were treated with kinetin and salinized. Stomatal resistances were highest in salt-stressed plants, and progressively lower in salt-stressed and kinetin-treated plants, control plants, and kinetin-treated plants...

While several statistical methods are available to analyse model sensitivity, their application to complex process-based models is often impractical due to the large number of simulation runs required. A Bayesian approach to global sensitivity analysis can greatly reduce the number of simulation runs required by building an emulator of the model which is less computationally demanding. A Gaussi...
