Load flow studies are one of the most essential engineering applications for grid operators because they provide a clear picture of the operating conditions of the power system. Traditionally, the load flow problem is assumed to be deterministic; that is, the system variables contain no randomness. Unfortunately, this assumption is...
Rocks are defined as aggregates or mixtures of minerals; rocks also include noncrystalline materials such as the natural glasses, and organic material such as coal. Rocks are found ready-made in nature. They are not homogeneous nor are they crystalline, although they may be made up of crystalline material. The composition...
One of the most serious problems confronting modern America
is the efficient and rational utilization of the recreation resource base,
not only in terms of present demands and needs, but future as well.
The resource manager, in the past, has had few guidelines from
which to determine the type and...
Fall-sown barley will be increasingly important in the era of climate change due to higher yield potential and efficient use of water resources. Resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses will be critical. Low temperature is an abiotic stress of great importance. Resistance to barley stripe rust (incited by Puccinia striifomis...
Background: Little is known about the potential of Brachypodium distachyon as a model for low temperature stress
responses in Pooideae. The ice recrystallization inhibition protein (IRIP) genes, fructosyltransferase (FST) genes, and
many C-repeat binding factor (CBF) genes are Pooideae specific and important in low temperature responses. Here
we used comparative...
Using genetic approaches, particle image velocimetry and an inert tracer of cytoplasmic streaming, we have made a mechanistic connection between the motor proteins (myosins XI), cargo transported by these motors (distinct endomembrane compartment defined by membrane-anchored MyoB receptors) and the process of cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells. It is shown...
To characterize the mechanism through which myosin XI-K attaches to its principal endomembrane cargo, a yeast two-hybrid library of Arabidopsis thaliana cDNAs was screened using the myosin cargo binding domain as bait. This screen identified two previously uncharacterized transmembrane proteins (hereinafter myosin binding proteins or MyoB1/2) that share a myosin...
The genetic underpinnings associated with the earliest stages of plant and animal domestication have remained elusive. Because a genome-wide response to selection can take many generations, the earliest detectable changes associated with domestication may first manifest as heritable changes to global patterns of gene expression. Here, to test this hypothesis,...

Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect that was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since spread across the Northeastern United States. States in the Northeast have created quarantine zones, regulations, outreach, reporting systems, and management efforts for the control of spotted lanternfly. Despite states’ efforts, spotted...
We consider three problems on simplicial complexes: the Optimal Bounded Chain Problem, the Optimal Homologous Chain Problem, and 2-Dim-Bounded-Surface. The Optimal Bounded Chain Problem asks to find the minimum weight d-chain in a simplicial complex K bounded by a given (d−1)-chain, if such a d-chain exists. The Optimal Homologous Chain...
