Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphism mapping data from nine populations (Glycine max × G. soja and max) of the Glycine subgenus genome led to identification many duplicated segments genome. Linkage groups contained up 33 markers that were on other linkage groups. The size homoeologous regions ranged 1.5 106.4 cM, with an average 45.3 cM. We observed in soybean present as six copies 2.55 duplications per segment. presence nested suggests at least one original genomes may have...
Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds contain high levels of protein and oil useful for human consumption. Increasing emphasis in breeding programs to produce soybeans with specific or content specialty markets demands that more efficient manipulation these traits be achieved. The objective this study was evaluate eight different soybean populations from the midwestern USA genetic markers linked seed content. were derived at Univ. Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue Univ.‐USDA‐ARS. Each population...
This essay outlines focus groups as a relatively new method of research for the communication and organizational researcher. The needs this type research, essential ingredients quality group session, advantages anddisadvantages are discussed. A theoretical framework is established andspecific instances application in recent researchare given. Finally, suggested methods analyzing data presented.
Bone scintigraphy was used to evaluate 34 patients with the physical findings and history of stress fracture lower extremity. Of 34, 21 had abnormal studies, 11 involving femoral neck, 9 tibia, 1 femur. All these scintiscans prior or at time appearance radiographic changes. tibial changes never evolved in 3. No false negatives were found among 13 normal scintiscans.
Abstract We have designed, fabricated, and tested a small, integrated photovoltaic module comprised of two separately‐contacted, high efficiency, multijunction solar cells non‐imaging optics that both concentrate spectrally split the incoming light. This hybrid design allows us to individually optimize tandem optical elements. The system has measured including packaging losses but not power combination losses, 38.5 ± 1.9% under AM1.5 direct terrestrial spectrum. internal light by factor...
Abstract During the last 15 years, hybridization and induced mutation breeding of soybeans have been successful in producing an altered fatty acid composition extracted oil. The objective those investigations was to produce a low‐linolenic soybena Crude oils from seeds three such genotypes were processed laboratory simulations commercial procedures finished deodorized oils. Analysis showed linolenic content be 3.3%, 4.2% 4.8%. stability these compared that oil soybean variety having 7.7%...
Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Century) seeds were treated with ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) and the M 2 progeny evaluated for fatty acid composition of oil. Treatment EMS significantly increased variability in content each acids comparison those Century control. There was a strong inverse relationship between oleic linoleic among from plants. This supports hypothesis sequential desaturation as method formation unsaturated soybean A genetically stable mutant 3.4% linolenic...
Indeterminate, semideterminate, and determinate soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] strains in maturity groups I, II, III, IV were grown to examine relationships among actual harvest index (seed yleld/above‐ground bicmass), apparent yield/above‐ground mature plant weight), seed yield, height, maturity, other characteristics. Highly significant correlations between the means indicated that adequately reflected of a genotype. Therefore, measurement should permit valid comparison relative...
Five group II and five III soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars released over a 50‐year period were grown at 12 location‐year combinations in the Midwest to evaluate genetic changes for seed yield, plant height, lodging, protein, oil content phenotypic stability yield. Current yielded 25% more than original introductions both maturity groups. Changes other characteristics not consistent, however. Regression of cultivar means on environmental indices showed linear increase yield across...
The commercial popularity of smart home (SH) technology has broadened the scope aging-in-place and health occupational therapy. objective this article is to examine ownership SH by older adults, their readiness adopt technology, identify client factors relating adoption. A survey adults aged 60 above living in community was conducted. Respondents ( N = 445) who were women; age group 70 years; a two-level home, with body function impairment; fall history; experienced information communication...
This study addresses the pivotal role of family and friends in supporting individuals experiencing suicidal distress. The research draws insights from a workshop at an Australian Lived Experience Suicide Summit (2023) to explore how information peer support should be presented used programs resources for someone engaged 52 delegates interactive workshop, comprising with lived experience distress (30%), those bereaved by suicide (27%), members or (20%), sector representatives (16%) others...

Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed phosphorus is stored primarily as phytic acid, a form in which it unavailable to monogastric mammals and birds. Because of the nutritional environmental problems caused by development cultivars with low acid ( lpa ) mutations has become an important objective many soybean breeding programs. Information about inheritance phytate trait would facilitate these efforts. The objectives current research were (i) map loci populations derived from mutant line...
Seventy‐eight F 2 ‐derived 4 lines from each of six soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] populations were evaluated to determine which population had the best potential for improving yield, protein, and yield protein in combination. The populations, one high ✕ four derived diallel crosses among two adapted high‐protein (P 1 P ) high‐yield parents (Y Y ). contained more percent per hectare, that combined with showed greatest expected advances was exceeded only by predicted progress advance...

Smart home (SH) internet of things can promote safety, health monitoring and independence older adults to age-in-place. Despite its commercial growth, low adoption rates the technology among aging consumers remain a major barrier. The purpose this study is examine SH ownership causal pathways with demographics, functioning, safety information communication (ICT) use.
Abstract Three soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] strains were evaluated in approximately equidistant spacings at 14 population densities ranging from 25,000 to 582,000 plants/ha (10,000 236,000 plants/acre) over a 2‐year period. The objective was determine the response of wide range populations spacings. Plant height, height lowest pod, and lodging increased with increasing plant population. Mature weight, seed weight per plant, ratio mature as decreased. three differed their density when...
