The term stress is an important but vague term in plant biology.We show situations in which thinking in terms of stress is profitably replaced by quantifying distance from functionally optimal scaling relationships between plant parts.These relationships include, for example, the often-cited one between leaf area and sapwood area, which presumably
The notion of subtyping has gained an important role both in theoretical and applicative domains: in lambda and concurrent calculi as well as in programming languages.The soundness and the completeness, together referred to as the preciseness of subtyping, can be considered from two different points of view: operational and denotational.The former
Omental infarction is a rare but a sinister cause of acute abdomen.Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its rare nature.It poses nonspecific abdominal signs that can be easily mistaken with other more common intra-abdominal pathologies.We report a case of a 37-year-old male patient ashy bines protein powder presented with right lower quadra
Infrared (IR) and passive microwave (PMW) satellite sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals are valuable to assimilate into high-resolution regional ocean forecast models.Still, there are issues related to these SSTs that need to be addressed to achieve improved ocean forecasts.Firstly, satellite SST products tend to be biased.Assimilating SSTs fr
