Scope, Selectivity, and Mechanism of the Prins Cyclization of Delta,&egr;- and &egr;,zeta-Unsaturated Ketones With Lewis Acids to 1,3-Halohydrins
Finally, reduction in R:FR increased vertical growth and erectness of both BAS1 gene transformants and control plants, however, overexpression of BAS1 gene induced dwarfism in transgenic creeping bentgrass by delaying vertical shoot growth and altering shoot architecture. True BAS1 transformants …

Retaining Distinction; Restructuring a Small Town
… of a small railroad town that concentrates on vertical growth, publicly shared urban spaces, and the distinction between town and country. A new organization of building types reflects the modern lifestyle of the town which focuses on the integration of school and community activities. …

Kinetics and mechanisms of metal silicide formation
… then followed by rapid simultaneous lateral and vertical growth until the formation of a continuous layer of polycrystalline C49-TiSi$\sb2.$ Local chemical analysis indicates that the composition range of the amorphous silicide is narrowed due to the appearance of C49 phase.

Growth and deterministic assembly of single stranded carbon nanotube
… nanoscale, this thesis investigates a new way of growth and assembly of nanostructures (carbon nanotube). This process is termed as nanopelleting, which refers to control length, alignment, handling and transportation of a nanostructure (carbon nanotube). Nanopelleting is a new concept to embed …

Single-crystal growth of organic semiconductors and organic electronic applications
This thesis describes single crystal growth of organic semiconductors and their applications in organic electronics. In Chapter 2, a self-assembled monolayer of C60 derivatives with five carboxylic acids was employed to make C60 thin-film transistors. The highly-crystalline C60 monolayer enabled …

The adaptive geometrey {i.e. geometry} of savanna trees : a comparative study of the architecture and life history of Acacia karroo Hayne. in savanna, forest, and arid karoo shrubland environments
… A.karroo would display specific adaptations of growth form, life history, and reproductive ecology - adaptations which would reflect the strong selective pressure imposed by fire and herbivory on juvenile savanna trees to grow above flame height and browse limit in order to recruit into the …

A Study of Craniofacial Growth in Infant Heart Transplant Recipients Receiving Cyclosporine
… cyclosporine as adversely affecting craniofacial growth in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible untoward effects of cyclosporine long-term on craniofacial growth in a group of infant heart transplantation recipients. A prospective group (n=28) of …

Uso da torta de filtro e do molibdato de potássio em cana-de-açucar
… the competitiveness of the chain. With the growth of the production of sugar cane, Brazil needs to technologies that do not grow in their cultivation area, but in the vertical growth. The present study aimed to seek knowledge about the use of filter cake and potassium molybdate on …

Burial of Short Cylinders Induced by Local Scour and Bedform Migration Under Waves Plus Currents
… they form, sandwave characteristics (geometry, vertical growth rate and speed) were determined and plotted against dimensionless numbers. Sandwaves are shown to control the vertical displacement of the specimen. It is seen that the vertical displacement of the cylinder no longer coincides with …

Studying the Role of Mechanical Properties of Cancer Cells in Tumour Detachment, Migration and Secondary Tumour Formation
… were studied on melanoma cells of radial growth phase (RGP), vertical growth phase (VGP) and metastatic (MET) stage. To determine intracellular stiffness, particle tracking microrheology was used in 2D and 3D contexts. Protein content of actin and tubulin was quantified with Western …

Controlled growth and doping of core-shell GaAs-based nanowires
… high mobility electronics First, nanowire growth kinetics were studied to optimize nanowire morphology. Variations in nanowire diameter were eliminated by understanding the role Ga adatom diffusion on sidewall deposition and vertical growth was enabled by understanding the importance of Ga …

Orthodontic Treatment of Anterior Open-bite With and Without Skeletal Anchorage
… appliances in conjunction with TADs. Effects of growth and open-bite severity on treatment success and stability are explored. Methods: Pre- (T1) and post-treatment (T2) lateral cephalographs were compared for 68 TAD and 42 non-TAD AOB patients using a custom analysis. T1 and T2 intraoral …

Functional divergence between Vachellia and Senegalia could underpin differences in invasiveness and Eltonian niche partitioning in African savannas
… Vachellia has a conserved strategy for rapid vertical growth when free from grass competition and Senegalia has a conserved root tissue density response to grass competition. I argue that the rapid growth (bolting) strategy of Vachellia in the absence of grass competition provides a functional …

Photoimmunotheranostic targeting of CSPG4-positive melanoma cells using SNAP-tag technology
… cell lines presenting melanoma in its radial and vertical growth phases, in the metastatic growth phase, in its chemoresistant form, and in both its pigmented and unpigmented forms. This binding data thus confirms CSPG4 as a suitable targeted for this treatment strategy. Conjugation of the fusion …

The physical and ecological impacts of mangrove expansion and mangrove removal: Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand
… and Waikaraka Estuary identified a limited vertical growth of < 10 cm per year, resulting in mean plant heights < 1.5 m. The climatic conditions limiting plant growth appeared to also limit the development of below-ground biomass (root mass). The 2 to 4 kg per m-2 of mangrove biomass under …
