Biotechnological improvement of ornamental plants
Ornamental Horticulture, 2017 The discovery of commercial transgenic varieties of orange petunias sold in Europe and the United States although they had never reached the approved status, and the consequent recommendation to destroy them, was the trigger to discuss about biotechnological improvement of ornamental plants. Inside the restricted world of 26 vegetal transgenic species,

Antibiotics, duration of infectiousness, and transmission of disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Humans, domestic animals, orchard crops, and ornamental plants are commonly treated with antibiotics in response to bacterial infection. By curing infectious individuals, antibiotic therapy might limit the spread of contagious disease among hosts. But antibiotic suppression of within-host pathogen density might also reduce the probability that the host

Accretion of Ornamental Equatorial Ridges on Pan, Atlas and Daphnis [PDF]
, 2020 We explore scenarios for the accretion of ornamental ridges on Saturn's moons Pan, Atlas, and Daphnis from material in Saturn's rings. Accretion of complex shaped ridges from ring material should be possible when the torque from accreted material does not exceed the tidal torque from Saturn that ordinarily maintains tidal lock.

Fractal dimension and self-similarity in Asparagus plumosus [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 We measure the fractal dimension of an African plant that is widely cultivated as ornamental, the Asparagus plumosus. This plant presents self-similarity, remarkable in at least two different scalings. In the following, we present the results obtained by analyzing this plant via the box counting method for three different scalings.

Deconstructing Bataknese Gorga Computationally [PDF]
BFI Working Paper Series, WP072012, 2012, 2015 The carved and painted decorations in traditional Batak houses and buildings, gorga, are the source of their exoticism. There are no identical patterns of the ornaments within Batak houses and the drawings are closely related to the way ancient Batak capture the dynamicity of the growing 'tree of life', one of central things within their cosmology and ...
