High Temperature Effect

Thirteen measurements were obtained from 59 successive sowings of three cultivars of sorghum. Principal component analyses showed that growth could be regarded as consisting of three largely independent components: crop density, total photosynthate, and extension. The correlations of these components with environmental measurements are examined. There is a high negative correlation between grains per head and heads per plot; grain weight is independent of crop density or spacing; the relationship between grain weight and number varies with the cultivar, attaining a high negative value for the hybrid RS610. Compared with sorghum grown elsewhere in the world, grain weights in the Ord are normal, but the number of grains per head is unusually low. This does not appear to be a high temperature effect, since in the dwarf cultivars higher maximum temperatures resulted in an increased number of smaller grains. It is suggested that African dwarf cultivars sensitive to day length might be more appropriate for the Ord than the American cultivars currently grown.

Phenological development of 16 cultivars from four Vigna species (V. radiata, green gram; V. mungo, black gram; V. angularis, adzuki bean; V. umbellata, rice bean) was studied over a range of 17 weekly sowing dates at Lawes in south-eastern Queensland. Cultivar and sowing date effects on phenology were large. In all cultivars, the rate of development during pre-flowering was associated negatively with mean day length and positively with mean maximum and/or mean minimum temperature. Cultivars differed in sensitivity to both photoperiod and temperature. Genetic lateness of flowering among cultivars was associated positively with increasing sensitivity to day length and negatively with the latitude of cultivar source. In the grams, early-flowering cultivars showed response to maximum temperatures, while the later-flowering lines responded to minimum temperatures. Rate of development in all four species during the reproductive phase was largely independent of cultivar and sowing date, per se, but rather appeared to depend on the day length and temperature regimes prevailing subsequent to the onset of flowering. The reproductive period in all species was shortest for those cultivar x sowing date combinations which commenced flowering in early autumn. Where flowering occurred in midsummer, i.e. for early sowings and for early cultivars, the reproductive period was extended as a consequence of prolonged flowering in response to the longer prevailing day lengths. As the date of flowering was delayed into mid or late autumn, the reproductive phase was extended owing to slower pod maturation rates in response to cooler prevailing temperatures. The implications of these responses on adaptation and agronomic utilization of these species are discussed.

The main aim of the experiment was to elucidate the causes of low sorghum grain yield in the Ord River valley. Three cultivars were studied: two dwarf, insensitive to day length (the hybrid RS610 and the inbred Meloland) and the day length-sensitive Q7844. The dwarf cultivars showed seasonal changes in time to maturity, but no seasonal changes in grain yield; sowing times need therefore depend only on mechanical difficulties of planting or harvesting in the wet season. Q7844 failed to initiate when the day length was longer than c. 12 hr 10 min, but the yield began to fall well before this day length was attained; a high stable yield was obtained only for sowings between about mid January and mid July. Overall mean yields were: RS610, 4694 kg/ha; Meloland, 4406 kg/ha; Q7844 (stable period only), 5074 kg/ha. Contrary to expectation, the yield of RS610 apparently increased with increase in maximum temperature. Meloland was less sensitive to temperature and to adverse environmental conditions. The causes of occasional yield failures are examined. It is suggested that Meloland deserves more attention than it has hitherto received, and that a dwarf photosensitive line might provide an acceptable 'wet season sorghum' for the Ord.

The Relationship

The authors explore an alternative way of analyzing the relationship between human development and individualism. The method is based on the first principal component of Hofstede's individualism index in the Human Development Index rating domain. Results suggest that the general idea that greater wealth brings more individualism is only true for countries with high levels of development, while for middle or low levels of development the inverse is true.

Assessment of semantic processing capacities often relies on verbal tasks which are, however, sensitive to impairments at several language processing levels. Especially for persons with aphasia there is a strong need for a tool that measures semantic processing skills independent of verbal abilities. Furthermore, in order to assess a patient’s potential for using alternative means of communication in cases of severe aphasia, semantic processing should be assessed in different nonverbal conditions. The Nonverbal Semantics Test (NVST) is a tool that captures semantic processing capacities through three tasks—Semantic Sorting, Drawing, and Pantomime. The main aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between the NVST and measures of standard neurolinguistic assessment. Fifty-one persons with aphasia caused by left hemisphere brain damage were administered the NVST as well as the Aachen Aphasia Test (AAT). A principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted across all AAT and NVST subtests. The analysis resulted in a two-factor model that captured 69% of the variance of the original data, with all linguistic tasks loading high on one factor and the NVST subtests loading high on the other. These findings suggest that nonverbal tasks assessing semantic processing capacities should be administered alongside standard neurolinguistic aphasia tests.

The paper considers a new approach to modeling the relationship between the increase in woody phytomass in the pine forest and satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) (MODIS/AQUA) data. The developed model combines the phenological and forest growth processes. For the analysis, NDVI and LST (MODIS) satellite data were used together with the measurements of tree-ring widths (TRW). NDVI data contain features of each growing season. The models include parameters of parabolic approximation of NDVI and LST time series transformed using principal component analysis. The study shows that the current rate of TRW is determined by the total values of principal components of the satellite indices over the season and the rate of tree increment in the preceding year.

Observation Results

Coal macrolithotypes control the reservoir heterogeneity, which plays a significant role in the exploration and development of coalbed methane. Traditional methods for coal macrolithotype evaluation often rely on core observation, but these techniques are non-economical and insufficient. The geophysical logging data are easily available for coalbed methane exploration; thus, it is necessary to find a relationship between core observation results and wireline logging data, and then to provide a new method to quantify coal macrolithotypes of a whole coal seam. In this study, we propose a L-Index model by combing the multiple geophysical logging data with principal component analysis, and we use the L-Index model to quantitatively evaluate the vertical and regional distributions of the macrolithotypes of No. 3 coal seam in Zhengzhuang field, southern Qinshui basin. Moreover, we also proposed a S-Index model to quantitatively evaluate the general brightness of a whole coal seam: the increase of the S-Index from 1 to 3.7, indicates decreasing brightness, i.e., from bright coal to dull coal. Finally, we discussed the relationship between S-Index and the hydro-fracturing effect. It was found that the coal seam with low S-Index values can easily form long extending fractures during hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, the lower S-Index values indicate much more favorable gas production potential in the Zhengzhuang field. This study provides a new methodology to evaluate coal macrolithotypes by using geophysical logging data.

To predict the consequences of environmental change on the biodiversity of alpine wetlands, it is necessary to understand the relationship between soil properties and vegetation biodiversity. In this study, we investigated spatial patterns of aboveground vegetation biomass, cover, species diversity, and their relationships with soil properties in the alpine wetlands of the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. Furthermore, the relative contribution of soil properties to vegetation biomass, cover, and species diversity were compared using principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis. Generally, the relationship between plant biomass, coverage, diversity, and soil nutrients was linear or unimodal. Soil pH, bulk density and organic carbon were also significantly correlated to plant diversity. The soil attributes differed in their relative contribution to changes in plant productivity and diversity. pH had the highest contribution to vegetation biomass and species richness, while total nitrogen was the highest contributor to vegetation cover and nitrogen–phosphorus ratio (N:P) was the highest contributor to diversity. Both vegetation productivity and diversity were closely related to soil properties, and soil pH and the N:P ratio play particularly important roles in wetland vegetation biomass, cover, and diversity.

This paper establishes a relationship (Theorem 4.1) between the approaches of A. C. Thompson [8, 9] and E. G. Effros [2] to the representation of simplex algebras, that is, real unital Banach algebras that are simplex spaces with the unit for order identity. It proves that the (nonempty) interior of the associated cone is contained in the principal component of the set of all regular elements of the algebra. It also conjectures that each maximal ideal (in the order sense—see below) of a simplex algebra contains a maximal left ideal of the algebra. This conjecture and other aspects of the relationship are illustrated by considering algebras of n × n real matrices.
