To get different perspectives of the data, three approaches were used to further analyze the transcriptomic data. One focused on expression at one similar sugar level in both locations. Another identified a common set of genes whose transcript abundance changed in both locations. And the third one was a more comprehensive network analysis using all…

If this process is allowed to proceed to its conclusion before deposited metal solidifies, the resulting films won’t be connected at all, and your nanoSQUID circuit will be open. If the substrate is cold enough, the resulting film will at least be continuous, and it is likely that you will get a nanoSQUID. However, the…

When the magnitude of the magnetic field is increased past BC , all of the spins will suddenly rotate into alignment with the applied magnetic field. There are many ways in which real materials can deviate from this behavior. The simplest way is through polycrystallinity; in magnets composed of many microscopic domains, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy…

Meeting the challenge of conducting long-term studies using amounts of foods in a typical diet, with a representative sample of participants, requires a significant commitment of resources. The health and functional levels of participants are other factors that influence study designs and outcomes. For example, studies on cognitive performance with both nuts and berries have…

Although advocates for a more ecologically rational agriculture persistently argue that the science of ecology should underlie the science of agriculture, we argue that the science itself is in a state of rapid evolution, especially with regard to acknowledging the important contextualization of complex systems. In the present article, we summarize much of the work we…

Carotenoids in grape berries have been shown to increase in berries with increased in solar radiation pre-veraison . However, under extreme exposure to heat and solar radiation, there is a documented decrease in carotenoid concentrations during ripening . To preserve the carotenoid concentrations in the grape berry and to promote C13-norisoprenoids in resulting wines under…

The vine’s leaf petioles and blades contained about 30 ppm boron. While the foliage had no symptoms of boron deficiency, in the past the grower had observed sticking caps and pumpkin-shaped shot berries, which are indicative of boron deficiency. During the course of the research, the vineyard was drip-irrigated from April through October. The vineyard…

To ensure that there was no airflow leakage within the setup, the relation between subglottal pressure and applied airflow was tested. Because of the linear correlation between these two parameters, as displayed in the top row of Fig. 3, which has also been reported by Alipour and colleagues, flow leakage in the setup was ruled out…

Wines were analyzed sensorially using descriptive analysis in the J. Lohr Wine Sensory Room, University of California, Davis, CA. GN, BA, and CS wines were analyzed approximately two, three, and four months, respectively, after bottling. Three separate descriptive analysis panels were utilized, one for each variety. Eleven panelists were recruited for GN, and ten each…

In that same study, Huang and Yang report anecdotal evidence that suggests equal yields in orchards that use chemicals vs. orchards that use ant bridges to control for pests. Similarly, Peng and Christian , report lower levels of fruit damage in cashew with the presence of weaver ants. However, as vegetation complexity declines in agroecosystems, tree…
