Agronomic evaluation of four maize synthetics after recurrent selection for yield and evaluation of selected lines from the synthetics
<p>Reciprocal recurrent selection in the maize (Zea mays L.) populations, BSSS(R) and BSCB1(R), was compared with recurrent selection for general combining ability in BS13(S(,2)), and half-sib selection in the intervarietal cross, BS6(RS). The original and improved populations and population …

Plasticity Against Plastic: Synthetics In The Practice, Theory, And Conservation Of Art Since The 1960s
… destabilizes hierarchies. Art objects featuring synthetics exist on the same continuum as discarded consumer plastic, and these materials open the artwork onto the world in unprecedented ways, underscoring the work’s participation within greater networks of economy and ecology. The relationship …

Incorporation of Exotic Germplasm Into Adapted Maize Synthetics to Improve Grain Yield and Multiple Leaf Blight Resistance (Selection Response, Zea Mays, Quantitative Genetics, Corn)
Population testcrosses to FRB73 and to FRMo17 of maize (Zea mays L.) populations containing 0, 25, 50, and 100% exotic germplasm, 80 to 100 random S(,1) families from each population, and the populations per se were evaluated for grain yield and aggregate leaf disease resistance. One cycle of …

Seismic site characterization through joint modeling of complementary data functionals, with applications to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
… (ReMi). Fitting of data functionals by synthetics is driven by global optimization. The products of this approach are shear wave velocity profiles for the subsurface, accompanied by marginal posterior probability distributions (PPD) and parameter correlation matrices. Jointly fitting …

Mechanics of the hysteretic large strain behavior of mussel byssus threads
… outperforming even the most widely-used synthetics. This study investigates mussel byssal threads, the attachment appendage of aquatic mussels, which are here shown to exhibit a remarkable ability to withstand very large resilient yet dissipative stretches (A > 4) without failing. These …

Wavefront Healing and Tomographic Resolution of Mantle Plumes
… Sdiff time delay measurements made on the SEM synthetics. This indicates a chemical origin of "superplumes" in the lowermost mantle may not be necessary to explain observed seismic traveltimes. The same set of Pdiff and Sdiff measurements are inverted using finite-frequency tomography based on …

Developing a new CMBS hedging tool : a property price index-based synthetic
… assets. Recent developments of CMBS index-based synthetics, namely the CMBX, have allowed systematic market exposure to a basket of CMBS credit default swaps. The creation of these credit derivatives indices has enabled market participants to trade rating-specific risk, hedge against market-wide …

S-wave velocity structure beneath the Kaapvaal Craton from surface-wave inversions compared with estimates from mantle xenoliths
… the same today as it was 80-90Ma. Further, synthetics runs show that for this surface-wave dataset, there is no strong low-velocity zone at depths shallower than at least 200km.

An approach of using polymer natural fiber composite for vibration and flammability control
… of natural fiber composite instead of synthetics fiber has lead to eco-friendly product manufacturing to meet various applications in the field of automotive, construction and manufacturing. In this present research, the effects of maleic anhydride polypropylene (MAPP) on the material …

Analysis of effect of using estimated shear wave data as compared to measured compressional and shear wave sonic log
… predictions. The conclusion is evident from the synthetics generated using the measured shear wave data and the estimated shear wave data.

Seismic Imaging of Earth’s Core-Mantle Boundary using Diffracted Waves
… including real data observations, numerical synthetics, asymptotic theory, and use it as a tool to resolve the fine-scale structure close to the core- mantle boundary. We present seismic observations of rare core-diffracted signals sensitive to the interior of the Hawaiian ULVZ at the highest …

IN-SITU ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF METALS FOR EMBEDDING PARTS COMPATIBLE WITH LIQUID METALS TO ENHANCE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF AVIONICS FOR SPACECRAFT
… eutectic liquid metal (LM) alloys and synthetics ceramics offer new opportunities for thermal cooling systems. Therefore, there has been an opportunity for adapting in-situ AM to overcome limitations of traditional manufacturing in thermal application, where improvements can be achieved …

Ploidy Level Effects and Effects of Inbreeding on Single and Double Cross Performance in Autotetraploid Maize
… originating from three autotetraploid maize synthetics. Grain yield and moisture, plant and ear height, pollen shed date, and percent lodging were evaluated. Results agreed with theoretical and experimental results in maize and alfalfa in that (1) for most traits DC's had higher levels of …

Three-dimensional seismic interpretations of Miocene strata in Vermilion and South Marsh Island areas, Gulf of Mexico

Pharmacologically impeding glioblastoma tumour motility through simultaneous inhibition of aquaporin-1 and ion channels
… inhibitors, natural compounds, or semi-synthetics, administered at low doses either individually or in combinations, produced no significant cytotoxicity in cultured glioblastoma cells or astrocytes. This could indicate the capacity to minimise off-target effects associated with these …
