The need to develop a shorter life cycle wheat cultivar which
would be more adapted to multiple cropping systems prompted this
study. Thus the following information was obtained.
Greatest variations in developmental patterns were found in the
stem elongation, booting, inflorescence emergence and anthesis for
five winter and five spring...
The nature of inheritance and possible associations for traits
influencing earliness and grain yield were investigated using a four
parent diallel of winter and spring wheat cultivars.
More genetic variability was observed for the traits measured in
segregating populations resulting from crosses between winter and spring
type wheats in contrast...
Metal oxide nanocrystals have attracted significant interests due to their unique chemical, physical, and electrical properties which depend on their size and structure. In this study, a continuous flow microreactor system was employed to synthesize metal oxide nanocrystals in aqueous solution. Assembly of nanocrystals is considered one of the most...
Cheese is a fermented dairy product that is made from animal milk and is considered to be healthy food due to its available nutrients and potential probiotic characteristics. Since the microbes in the cheese matrix directly contribute to the quality and physicochemical properties of cheese, it is important to understand...
Quickersort, Straight Insertion Sort, Mehlhorn's AVL-tree Sorting Algorithm and Cook's new sorting algorithm are compared on nearly and nedium sorted lists. The ratio of the minimum number of list elements that must be removed so that the remaining portion of the list is in order to the size of the...
Relationships between myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform content and
eccentric-induced damage were investigated in chemically skinned muscle fiber
segments. Fibers were subjected to an eccentric contraction standardized for strain
magnitude (0.25 fiber length) and velocity (0.50 maximal shortening velocity).
Fiber MHC isoform content was identified by SDS-PAGE. Pre- to post-eccentric...
Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like...
High-pressure torsion (HPT) is an effective severe plastic deformation (SPD)
technique to produce bulk nanostructured materials (BNMs). These BNMs often show a combination of exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Processing of single metals and alloys by HPT has been understood that the homogenous microstructures can be achieved throughout the disk...
