A note on resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) [Diptera : Cecidomyidae] biotype L in tribe Triticeae
Quarante et une accessions de blés primitifs et indigènes (Triticum spp.), 16 accessions du genre Aegilops et 20 accessions ou cultivars du genre Agropyron ont été évaluées pour la première fois pour leur réaction au biotype L de la mouche de Hesse (Mayetiola destructor). Trois accessions du Triticum monococcum, 13 accessions du genre Aegilops et 13 accessions ou cultivars du genre Agropyron ont été trouvées résistantes de façon homogène. L'antibiose s'est manifestée dans certains cas mais dans certains autres, il est apparu une résistance physique attribuable à la présence de la pubescence foliaire ou de la ligule. La pubescence du Triticum boeoticum n'a pas été efficace afin de procurer de la résistance.Forty-one accessions of primitive and wild wheats (Triticum species), 16 accessions of Aegilops species, and 20 accessions or cultivars of Agropyron species were evaluated for the first time for reaction to biotype L of Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor). Three accessions of Triticum monococcum, 13 accessions of Aegilops species, and 13 accessions or cultivars of Agropyron species were found homogeneously resistant. Antibiosis was operative in some cases but in others there appeared to be physical resistance due to the presence of leaf pubescence or ligule. Pubescence of Triticum boeoticum was not effective in providing resistance
Genetics of resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) [Diptera : Cecidomyiida] biotype L in diploid wheat
La mouche de Hesse est un important ravageur de blé (Triticum spp.) et le biotype L de cette mouche est reconnu comme le plus virulent des biotypes connus. L'héritabilité de la résistance au biotype L de la mouche de Hesse a été étudiée à l'aide de croisements entre, d'une part, une lignée résistante de Triticum monococcum et, d'autre part, deux lignées sensibles de T. monococcum et une lignée sensible de T. boeoticum, tous des blés diploïdes. Les familles de plante F2 ou issues de rétrocroisements ont été évaluées au stade de semis par leur réaction à la mouche de Hesse et les ratios de ségrégation génétique des familles résistantes ou ségréguées par rapport aux familles sensibles ont été analysés par des tests d'ajustement du chi-carré. Il a été découvert que l'héritabilité est simple et sous le contrôle d'un ou deux gènes. Ceci est la première mention de l'héritabilité de la résistance à la mouche de Hesse chez les blés diploïdes de génome A et son contrôle génétique simple suggère la possibilité de transférer ce caractère aux blés cultivés.Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) is a serious pest of wheat (Triticum spp.) and of the reported biotypes of Hessian fly, biotype L is described as the most virulent. Inheritance of resistance to Hessian fly biotype L was investigated in crosses of a resistant accession of Triticum monococcum, and two susceptible accessions of T. monococcum and one susceptible accession of T. boeoticum, all diploid wheats. F2 and testeross (backeross) families were classified for reaction to Hessian fly in the seedling stage and analysed by Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests for genetic segregation ratios of resistant or segregating families to susceptible families. Resistance was found to be simply inherited, controlled by one or two genes. This is the first report on the inheritance of resistance to Hessian fly in A-genome diploid wheats, and simple genetic control indicates possibility of transfer of this trait to cultivated wheats

Thermal photons as a measure for the rapidity dependence of the temperature
The rapidity distribution of thermal photons produced in Pb+Pb collisions at
CERN-SPS energies is calculated within scaling and three-fluid hydrodynamics.
It is shown that these scenarios lead to very different rapidity spectra. A
measurement of the rapidity dependence of photon radiation can give cleaner
insight into the reaction dynamics than pion spectra, especially into the
rapidity dependence of the temperature.Comment: 3 Figure

A Systematic Literature Review of Emotion Regulation Measurement in Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder
DOI: 10.1002/aur.1426Emotion regulation (ER) difficulties are a potential common factor underlying the presentation of multiple emotional and behavioral problems in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To provide an overview of how ER has been studied in individuals with ASD, we conducted a systematic review of the past 20 years of ER research in the ASD population, using established keywords from the most comprehensive ER literature review of the typically developing population to date. Out of an initial sampling of 305 studies, 32 were eligible for review. We examined the types of methods (self-report, informant report, naturalistic observation/ behavior coding, physiological, and open-ended) and the ER constructs based on Gross and Thompson’s modal model (situation selection, situation modification, attention deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation). Studies most often assessed ER using one type of method and from a unidimensional perspective. Across the 32 studies, we documented the types of measures used and found that 38% of studies used self-report, 44% included an informant report measure, 31% included at least one naturalistic observation/behavior coding measure, 13% included at least one physiological measure, and 13% included at least one open-ended measure. Only 25% of studies used more than one method of measurement. The findings of the current review provide the field with an in-depth analysis of various ER measures and how each measure taps into an ER framework. Future research can use this model to examine ER in a multicomponent way and through multiple methods.Spectrum of Hope Autism Foundation, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, NeuroDevNet, Sinneave Family Foundation, CASDA, Autism Speaks Canada, Health Canad
Single Spin Asymmetry in Polarized Proton-Proton Elastic Scattering at GeV
We report a high precision measurement of the transverse single spin
asymmetry at the center of mass energy GeV in elastic
proton-proton scattering by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The was measured
in the four-momentum transfer squared range \GeVcSq, the region of a significant interference between the
electromagnetic and hadronic scattering amplitudes. The measured values of
and its -dependence are consistent with a vanishing hadronic spin-flip
amplitude, thus providing strong constraints on the ratio of the single
spin-flip to the non-flip amplitudes. Since the hadronic amplitude is dominated
by the Pomeron amplitude at this , we conclude that this measurement
addresses the question about the presence of a hadronic spin flip due to the
Pomeron exchange in polarized proton-proton elastic scattering.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Evolution of the differential transverse momentum correlation function with centrality in Au+Au collisions at GeV
We present first measurements of the evolution of the differential transverse
momentum correlation function, {\it C}, with collision centrality in Au+Au
interactions at GeV. {\it C} exhibits a strong dependence
on collision centrality that is qualitatively similar to that of number
correlations previously reported. We use the observed longitudinal broadening
of the near-side peak of {\it C} with increasing centrality to estimate the
ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density, , of the matter formed
in central Au+Au interactions. We obtain an upper limit estimate of
that suggests that the produced medium has a small viscosity per unit entropy.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, STAR paper published in Phys. Lett.
The inverse problem of determining the filtration function and permeability reduction in flow of water with particles in porous media
The original publication can be found at www.springerlink.comDeep bed filtration of particle suspensions in porous media occurs during water injection into oil reservoirs, drilling fluid invasion of reservoir production zones, fines migration in oil fields, industrial filtering, bacteria, viruses or contaminants transport in groundwater etc. The basic features of the process are particle capture by the porous medium and consequent permeability reduction. Models for deep bed filtration contain two quantities that represent rock and fluid properties: the filtration function, which is the fraction of particles captured per unit particle path length, and formation damage function, which is the ratio between reduced and initial permeabilities. These quantities cannot be measured directly in the laboratory or in the field; therefore, they must be calculated indirectly by solving inverse problems. The practical petroleum and environmental engineering purpose is to predict injectivity loss and particle penetration depth around wells. Reliable prediction requires precise knowledge of these two coefficients. In this work we determine these quantities from pressure drop and effluent concentration histories measured in one-dimensional laboratory experiments. The recovery method consists of optimizing deviation functionals in appropriate subdomains; if necessary, a Tikhonov regularization term is added to the functional. The filtration function is recovered by optimizing a non-linear functional with box constraints; this functional involves the effluent concentration history. The permeability reduction is recovered likewise, taking into account the filtration function already found, and the functional involves the pressure drop history. In both cases, the functionals are derived from least square formulations of the deviation between experimental data and quantities predicted by the model.Alvarez, A.
