Role of adventitious roots in water relations of tamarack (Larix laricina) seedlings exposed to flooding
Download2012
Calvo-Polanco, M., Senorans, J., Zwiazek, J.J.
Background: Flooding reduces supply of oxygen to the roots affecting plant water uptake. Some flooding-tolerant tree species including tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) produce adventitious roots in response to flooding. These roots were reported to have higher hydraulic conductivity...

Sit-to-stand (STS) transfer is a prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature often assumes symmetrical behavior across the body (bilateral symmetry) during healthy STS. However; little research has been conducted to validate this assumption. Motion analysis was utilized to evaluate STS in 10...

Many sports biomechanics research studies follow a traditional task analysis concept that there is only one best possible movement pattern and thus focus on the examination of kinematics and kinetics of movement without considering the influence of constraints that are imposed on it. This study...

Strategies for reforestation under uncertain future climates: guidelines for Alberta, Canada
Download2011
Abstract: Background: Commercial forestry programs normally use locally collected seed for reforestation under the assumption that tree populations are optimally adapted to local environments. However, in western Canada this assumption is no longer valid because of climate trends that have...

Temperature sensitivity of N2O emissions from fertilized agricultural soils: Mathematical modeling in ecosys
Download2008
N2O emissions have been found to be highly sensitive to soil temperature (T-s) which may cause substantial rises in emissions with rises in Ts expected in most climate change scenarios. Mathematical models used to project changes in emissions during climate change should be able to simulate the...

The APETALA-2-Like Transcription Factor OsAP2-39 Controls Key Interactions between Abscisic Acid and Gibberellin in Rice
Download2010
Rothstein, Steven J., Bi, Yong-Mei, Zhu, Tong, El-kereamy, Ashraf, Beatty, Perrin H., Yaish, Mahmoud W., Good, Allen G.
The interaction between phytohormones is an important mechanism which controls growth and developmental processes in plants. Deciphering these interactions is a crucial step in helping to develop crops with enhanced yield and resistance to environmental stresses. Controlling the expression level...

Talar collapse results in incongruity of the ankle joint, resulting in pain, stiffness, and disability. In the past, standard treatment has been surgical fusion or total ankle arthroplasty. These treatments can result in a loss of motion and function of the foot, as well as pseudarthrosis. A...

The development and biomechanics of theropod teeth and comparisons with other reptiles: a functional analysis
DownloadSpring 2012
Teeth are important for taxonomic studies. They are often the only remains found of certain vertebrates in the fossil record. This is because they are more resistant to weathering than most bones, they are small, and they are generally abundant. Most reptiles have homodont dentition, and the...
