Key message: The hormonal ratios along the barley spike regulate the development, atrophy and abortion of the spikelets and could be the mechanism by which the barley spike adapts its yield potential. Abstract: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the oldest cereal crops known to be cultivated since about 10,000 years. The inflorescence of cultivated barley is an indeterminate spike that produces

Recent results obtained for the 4He(γ,n) reaction prior to the facility upgrade are presented. Future plans for measuring Compton scattering from the deuteron at the upgraded facility are discussed.

The paper studies the local solvability and subellipticity for square systems of principal type. These are the systems for which the principal symbol vanishes of first order on its kernel. For systems of principal type having constant characteristics, local solvability is equivalent to condition (Ψ) on the eigenvalues. This is a condition on the sign changes of the imaginary part along the oriente

En serie av arbeten och installationer som producerades i förhållande till Gemäldegallerie i Berlins konstsamling för den 8 Berlin Biennalen - verken handlade om porträtt som föreställer en okänd person och som är utförda av okända konstnärer

Traditionally, international humanitarian organisations have used on-demand dispatch of disaster relief goods from regional logistics units (RLUs) for sudden onset disaster response. This paper investigates the improvements in efficiency and resilience of disaster relief operations by combining the existing method of onshore prepositioning of relief items in RLUs with offshore prepositioning of re

A calibrated multiple high-speed camera arrangement recording the flame emission from three different directions has been demonstrated on an engine. From the multiple views, the flame position inside the engine cylinder can be spatially mapped, allowing quantitative studies of the dynamics of ignition, flame development and propagation. Through space carving, the three-dimensional flame contour ca

Measurements of the angular distributions of target and double-spin asymmetries for the Δ+(1232) in the exclusive channel →p(→e,e′p)π0 obtained at the Jefferson Lab in the Q2 range from 0.5 to 1.5GeV2/c2 are presented. Results of the asymmetries are compared with the unitary isobar model [D. Drechsel et al., Nucl. Phys. A645, 145 (1999)], dynamical models [T. Sato and T. S. Lee, Phys. Rev. C 54, 2
