The analysis of the tree radial growth response to climate is crucial for dendroclimatological research. However, the response relationships between tree-ring indices and climatic factors at different timescales are not yet clear. In this study, the tree-ring width of Huashan pine (Pinus armandii) from Huashan in the Qinling Mountains, north-central China, was used to explore the response diffe...

We develop the observational and conceptual basis for modeling conifer cambial processes as a direct but nonlinear and multivariate response to external environmental conditions. The model, here termed Vaganov-Shashkin (VS), reproduces the critical features linking climate variability to tree-ring proxy formation. We discuss recent test simulations of tree-ring width data from a variety of site...

Seborrheic keratosis Benign neoplasms Growth factors Jeffrey J. Meffert, MD, 19626 Encino Knoll, San Antonio, TX 78259 (USA) Seborrheic keratoses (SKs) are among the most common benign cutaneous neoplasms. Despite this, knowledge of the pathophysiol-ogy underlying SKs is incomplete. Much of what is known about the growth and biology of SKs is obtained indirectly while investigating ‘more import...

use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems isn’t an accurate approach because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. in this study the infiltration parameters were evaluated in real conditions of a center pivot system. for this purpose a single ring with ...

‎let $r$ be a ring with involution $*$‎. ‎an additive mapping $t:rto r$ is called a left(respectively right) centralizer if $t(xy)=t(x)y$ (respectively $t(xy)=xt(y)$) for all $x,yin r$‎. ‎the purpose of this paper is to examine the commutativity of prime rings with involution satisfying certain identities involving left centralizers.

6-methyl-2-phenyl-7h-oxazolo [3,2-b] [1,2,4] triazine (1) undersent ting transformation on treatment with ammonia and primary amines to afford the corresponding imidazol [1,2-b][1,2,4] triazine (2). treatment of (1) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding 3-aryl-4h-1,2,4- triazino [4,3-b][1,2,4] triazin-8 (1h)-one (3).

in this paper, we define and study the notion of the real-valued functions on a frame $l$. we show that $f(l) $, consisting of all frame homomorphisms from the power set of $mathbb{r}$ to a frame $ l$, is an $f$-ring, as a generalization of all functions from a set $x$ into $mathbb r$. also, we show that $f(l) $ is isomorphic to a sub-$f$-ring of $mathcal{r}(l)$, the ring of real-valued continu...
