Earliness is a critical agronomic trait that enables plants to avoid adverse weather conditions during the late growing season or at harvest.In wheat, earliness is controlled by at least three distinct mechanisms: vernalization requirement, Sherlocks photoperiod sensitivity, and a mechanism independent of the first two, so called, earliness per se.
Signal denoising through topographic modularity of neural circuits
Information from the sensory periphery is conveyed to the cortex via structured projection pathways that spatially segregate stimulus features, providing a robust and efficient encoding strategy.Beyond sensory encoding, this prominent anatomical feature extends throughout the neocortex.However, the extent to which it influences cortical processing
Rural health workers and their work environment: the role of inter-personal factors on job satisfaction of nurses in rural Papua New Guinea
Abstract Background Job satisfaction is an important focal attitude towards work.Understanding factors that relate to job satisfaction allows interventions to be developed to enhance work performance.Most research on job satisfaction among nurses has been conducted in acute care settings in industrialized countries.Factors that relate to rural nurs
DriveLEDs: software for synchronous control and video acquisition of fluorescent signals
Current research uses various fluorescent biosensors to measure ion concentrations, neuronal activity, or cellular components in biological preparations.Several free solutions are available to researchers for recording or analysing fluorescent signals.However, when using different software packages, there are great difficulties in converting data b
