TL;DR: Structure and spatial distribution of stools and root-collar sprouts of Japanese beech (Fagus japonica) were studied to clarify the regeneration processes of the stool and the population, and the ecological importance of this stool formation in five quadrats of the natural forests with different forest floor vegetation on the Pacific side of Japan.
Abstract: Structure and spatial distribution of stools and root-collar sprouts of Japanese beech (Fagus japonica) were studied to clarify the regeneration processes of the stool and the population, and the ecological importance of this stool formation in five quadrats of the natural forests with different forest floor vegetation on the Pacific side of Japan. F. japonica dominates in the canopy of each quadrat. Most of sprouts formed a circle around the root-collar and lowest parts of the parent stems of the stool with the youngest sprouts at the periphery. The regeneration by seedlings was slight especially on the forest floor vegetation of the dwarf bamboo Sasa. The variety of size structure of stems and the existence of dead traces and/or dead center in each stool, the apparent difference in stool size, and the aggregations of stools in the forests suggest that stool expansion and long persistence of the stool at a given location may contribute to compensate for the scarcity of regeneration by seedlings inhibited by dwarf bamboo, and by the other shrubs and herbs.

TL;DR: The interspecific and intergeneric incompatibilities between Brassicaceae crops and their wild relatives are reviewed, and the production, characterization, and improvement of synthetic amphidiploid lines, alien gene introgression lines, alloplasmic lines, monosomal alien chromosome addition lines, and monosomic alien chromosome substitution lines are reviewed.
Abstract: In Brassicaceae crop breeding programs, wild relatives have been evaluated as genetic resources to develop new cultivars with biotic and abiotic stress resistance. This has become necessary because of the diversification of ecotypes of diseases and pests, changing food preferences, advances in production technology, the use of new approaches such as in vitro breeding programs, and the need for economical production of F1 seed. To produce potential new cultivars, interspecific and intergeneric hybridizations have been performed between cultivated species and between cultivated species and their wild relatives. Furthermore, interspecific and intergeneric hybrids have been successfully produced using embryo rescue techniques. In this paper, we review the interspecific and intergeneric incompatibilities between Brassicaceae crops and their wild relatives, and the production, characterization, and improvement of synthetic amphidiploid lines, alien gene introgression lines, alloplasmic lines, monosomic alien chromosome addition lines, and monosomic alien chromosome substitution lines. The goal is to provide useful materials to support practical breeding strategies and to study the genetic effects of individual chromosomes on plant traits, the number of genes that control a trait, their linkage relationships, and genetic improvement in Brassicaceae crops.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of lubricant viscosity on the temperature and thickness in oil film on a piston ring in a diesel engine was analyzed by using unsteady state thermohydrodynamic lubrication analysis.
Abstract: The effect of lubricant viscosity on the temperature and thickness in oil film on a piston ring in a diesel engine was analyzed by using unsteady state thermohydrodynamic lubrication analysis, that is Reynolds equation and an unsteady state two-dimensional (2-D) energy equation with heat generated from viscous dissipation. The oil film viscosity was then estimated by using the mean oil film temperature and the shear rate for multi grade oils. The shear rate between the ring and liner becomes higher, so that the viscosity for the multi grade oil is affected by the oil film temperature and shear rate, and the viscosity becomes lower. Under low temperature condition, the viscosity becomes lower due to viscous heating and shear rate and under higher temperature condition, the viscosity affected by the shear rate becomes lower. The oil film thickness between the ring and liner decreases with decrease of the oil viscosity, and it is the thinnest that the oil film thickness is calculated by using the viscosity estimated by both the shear rate and the oil film temperature. Moreover, the heat transfer at ring and liner surfaces was examined.Copyright © 2002 by ASME

TL;DR: In this paper, the OPERA detector at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (LNGS) was used to measure the atmospheric muon charge ratio in the TeV energy region.
Abstract: The OPERA detector at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (LNGS) was used to measure the atmospheric muon charge ratio \(R_{\mu}=N_{\mu^{+}}/N_{\mu^{-}}\) in the TeV energy region. We analyzed 403069 atmospheric muons corresponding to 113.4 days of livetime during the 2008 CNGS run. We computed separately the muon charge ratio for single and for multiple muon events in order to select different energy regions of the primary cosmic ray spectrum and to test the Rμ dependence on the primary composition. The measured Rμ values were corrected taking into account the charge-misidentification errors. Data have also been grouped in five bins of the “vertical surface energy” ℰμcos θ. A fit to a simplified model of muon production in the atmosphere allowed the determination of the pion and kaon charge ratios weighted by the cosmic ray energy spectrum.
