The Land of the Future: British Accounts of the USA at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century
European Journal of American Studies, 2016 This article examines the ways in which British travelers to the USA at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries articulated their different perceptions of a nation which was emerging as a major imperial competitor ...

Release of Arabidopsis seed dormancy by cold atmospheric plasma relies on cytoplasmic glass transition [PDF]
J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. (2023), 2023 When mature Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are dormant, their germination is prevented in apparently favourable conditions. This primary dormancy can be released during seed dry storage through a process called after-ripening whose duration can last several months.

Influence of multiplicative stochastic variation on translational elongation rates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Experimental data indicate that stochastic effects exerted at the level of translation contribute substantially to the variation in abundance of proteins expressed at moderate to high levels.

Seed-to-Seed-to-Seed Growth and Development of Arabidopsis in Microgravity [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2014 Arabidopsis thaliana was grown from seed to seed wholly in microgravity on the International Space Station. Arabidopsis plants were germinated, grown, and maintained inside a growth chamber prior to returning to Earth. Some of these seeds were used in a subsequent experiment to successfully produce a second (back-to-back) generation of microgravity ...

Seed Health Testing: Doing Things Right
PhytoFrontiers, 2023 Since seeds can be a route for pathogen introduction, they are routinely inspected and tested to prevent pest outbreaks and introduction into new territories. The need for high throughput, short lead times, and cost reduction has played an important role

New Phytologist, 1987 SummaryThe involvement of four factors (life history, predation, possession of a persistent seed bank and seedling establishment) in the evolution of seed size in flowering plants is discussed. Among herbacaeous plants, biennials seem to have larger seeds than annuals and perennials, a difference which may explain the capacity of some biennials to ...

A unifying framework for seed sensitivity and its application to subset seeds (Extended abstract) [PDF]
Algorithms in Bioinformatics, LNBI 3692 : 251-263, 2005, 2006 We propose a general approach to compute the seed sensitivity, that can be applied to different definitions of seeds. It treats separately three components of the seed sensitivity problem - a set of target alignments, an associated probability distribution, and a seed model - that are specified by distinct finite automata.

From Little Things Big Things Grow: A Collection with Seed Studies for Medical Systematic Review Literature Search [PDF]
, 2022 Medical systematic review query formulation is a highly complex task done by trained information specialists. Complexity comes from the reliance on lengthy Boolean queries, which express a detailed research question. To aid query formulation, information specialists use a set of exemplar documents, called `seed studies', prior to query formulation ...
