Seed yield, a major determinant for the commercial success of grain crops, critically depends on pollen viability, which is Boot dramatically reduced by environmental stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.Salinity, in particular, is a major problem for crop yield known to affect about 20% of all arable land and cause huge ec
This paper provides an invitation to analytic abduction, an emerging approach to qualitative research.Like deduction and induction, abduction is a mode of inquiry.In a general sense, abduction forwards explanations for novel or surprising observations.In a more practical sense, abduction aims to combine the strengths of both inductive and deductive
Psycholinguistic research on the processing of morphologically complex words has largely focused on debates about how/if lexical stems are recognized, stored, and retrieved.Comparatively little processing research has investigated similar issues for functional affixes.In Word or Lexeme Based Morphology (Aronoff 1994), affixes are not representation
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are specially designed for parallel applications and perform parallel operations much faster than central processing units (CPUs).In this work, we focus on the performance of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) on GPUs.We present optimizations which remove Playstation Extension Lead bank conflicts in shared memor
Bacterial immune systems, such as CRISPR-Cas or restriction-modification (R-M) systems, affect bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance by modulating horizontal gene flow.A model system for CRISPR-Cas regulation, the Type I-E system from Escherichia coli, is silent under standard laboratory conditions and experimentally observing the dynam
