Many plants use day length as an environmental cue to ensure proper timing of the switch
from vegetative to reproductive growth. Day-length sensing involves an interaction between …

Plants have evolved many systems to sense their environment and to modify their growth and
development accordingly. One example is vernalization, the process by which flowering is …

Background— We previously reported that 20% of women with chest pain but without
obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) had stress-induced reduction in myocardial …

The winter-annual habit (which typically involves a requirement for exposure to the cold of
winter to flower in the spring) in Arabidopsis thaliana is mainly due to the repression of …

Flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana is controlled by multiple pathways, including the photoperiod
pathway and the FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC)-dependent pathway. Here, we report that …

Recent research on volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VMS) deposits indicates that syngenetic
subsea-floor replacement ores form an important component of many deposits. In the …

The Doppler probe was used to identify the dominant cutaneous perforating arteries in a
series of 10 patients. The results were compared with our previous total body fresh cadaver …

Spectral analysis of rock samples by short wavelength infrared (SWIR) analysis, using the
portable infrared mineral analyzer (PIMA) spectrometer, is a relatively new field method with …

The timing of events within the nervous system is a critical feature of signal processing and
integration. In neurotransmission, the synaptic latency, the time between stimulus delivery …

As fossil fuel prices increase and environmental concerns gain prominence, the development
of alternative fuels from biomass has become more important. Biodiesel produced from …
