Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Like IAA, GA1 levels are low during ripening stages. Analysis of spatial expression in F. vesca showed that genes encoding AUX/IAA transcriptional coregulators and auxin response factors , are highly expressed in the expanding receptacle, as expected if IAA is being released from the achenes to stimulate receptacle growth prior to ripening. How, and in…

And this indeed was happening in the emerging partnerships we witnessed in the first two days of touring.The enthusiasm and support from the 1st International Symposium in France in early 2004 carried into the 2005 Symposium in Portugal and drew 160 participants from throughout Europe, as well as Australia, the Cape Verde Islands, Togo, Japan,…

Picked flowers were placed in plastic bags, immediately put on ice, and transported to the laboratory at the University of California, Davis. Flowers were either dried at 25 °C for 24 h in a dehydrator or analyzed fresh. Once dry, stems were removed, and flowers were stored in oxygen-impermeable aluminum pouches. Triplicate samples of fresh flowers…

All four NGOs had operated in their respective areas for at least ten years prior and had been involved in past initiatives ranging from agriculture to health and nutrition to savings and credit. As a result, local implementers had preexisting relationships with study participants before the inception of the pulses program studied here. From summer…

In addition, the SEM results of 10h stability test shows no microstructure change or degradation as well as the same element atomic percentage on Ni-YSZ on anode surface from Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectra. Fuerte et al. research showed similar behavior for ammonia fed SOFC compared to hydrogen fed SOFC at 700°C. However, Yang et al. studied…

The Expert Panel defined the scope of the guideline to focus on flavan-3-ol intake and risk of cardiometabolic disease in the general adult population. This recommendation is written from the perspective of individual decision-making rather than a public health perspective. As such, the target audience for this guideline was the general adult population including healthy…

Early microbial colonizers of post-fire soils may exploit either or both PyOM and necromass as a key carbon source. However, relatively little is known about how the metabolism of these respective carbon sources may drive post-fire microbial succession and community recovery. Many microorganisms are able to metabolize polyaromatic compounds with similarities to those found in…

This edition’s lengthy title lists nearly all of the prurient, horrific elements of the main plot of the novel—a striking contrast to the 1796 advertisement’s list of poems.This scandalous marketing strategy aligns with the way the Marquis de Sade argues that as “the inevitable result of the revolutionary shocks which all Europe has suffered,” The Monk…

It shared space with Radcliffe’s Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne in an 1854edition by The Booksellers, presumably because by that time publishers suspected it wouldn’t sell on its own. In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, critics attempted to discern whether the Austen’s Horrid Novels were even actual books. It is surprising that…

Mean °Brix values ranged from 14.9 to 16.8 . Most cultivars had mean °Brix values that were similar to Wonderful. However, ‘Golden Globe’ had the least quantity of °Brix and this was significantly lower than ‘Wonderful.’ Golden Globe had significantly less °Brix than most other cultivars. °Brix typically increased from one month to the next,…
