This paper discusses the application of the thought experiment methodology to qualitative reasoning . Problem solving using this technique involves simplification of the original problem, solution of the simplifie d problem, and generalization of the results obtained . Our emphasis in this work is to demonstrate th e effectiveness of this approach in addressing complexity and grain size issues ...

Arabidopsis thaliana SAG12, a senescence-specific gene encoding a cysteine protease, is widely used as a molecular marker for the study of leaf senescence. To date, its potential orthologues have been isolated from several plant species such as Brassica napus and Nicotiana tabacum. However, little information is available in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), a rubber-producing plant of the Euph...

Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L) seed oil is a natural resource for the alternative production of fossil fuel. Seed oil production is mainly depended on seed yield, which was restricted by the low ratio of staminate flowers to pistillate flowers. Further, the mechanism of physic nut flower sex differentiation has not been fully understood yet. Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction is a...

The present paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) problems with industrial tools. MHD has received attention some thirty to twenty years ago as a possible alternative in propulsion applications; MHD propelled ships have even been designed to that purpose. However such propulsion systems have been proved of low efficiency and fundamental researches in the...
