Impact of drought on assimilates partitioning associated fruiting physiognomies...
Fiaz, Muhammad; Shareef, Muhammad; Gu, Dongwei; Zeng, Fanjiang; Ahmed, Zeeshan; Waqas, Muhammad; Zhang, Bo; Iqbal, HassanDeficit irrigation has great significance for sustainable cultivation of cotton in water scarce arid regions, but this technique creates drought situation that induces stress adaptive changes in cotton plants due to indeterminate growth habit. In the present experiment, the impact of drought stress on assimilates partitioning associated vegetative and reproductive development, and yield quality attributes of co...
Molecular characterization of free tropospheric aerosol collected at the Pico M...
Dzepina, Katja; Mazzoleni, Claudio; Fialho, Paulo; China, Swarup; Zhang, Bo; Owen, R. Chris; Helmig, Detlev; Hueber, Jacques; Kumar, SumitFree tropospheric aerosol was sampled at the Pico Mountain Observatory located at 2225 m above mean sea level on Pico Island of the Azores archipelago in the North Atlantic. The observatory is located ~ 3900 km east and downwind of North America, which enables studies of free tropospheric air transported over long distances. Aerosol samples collected on filters from June to October 2012 were analyzed to charact...
Morphology and Mixing State of Aged Soot Particles at a Remote Marine Free Trop...
China, Swarup; Scarnato, Barbara; Owen, Robert C.; Zhang, Bo; Ampadu, Marian T.; Kumar, Sumit; Dzepina, Katja; Dziobak, Michael P.; Fialho, PauloThe radiative properties of soot particles depend on their morphology and mixing state, but their evolution during transport is still elusive. Here we report observations from an electron microscopy analysis of individual particles transported in the free troposphere over long distances to the remote Pico Mountain Observatory in the Azores in the North Atlantic. Approximately 70% of the soot particles were high...
Preoperative imatinib for patients with primary unresectable or metastatic/recu...
Shen, Chaoyong; Chen, Haining; Yin, Yuan; Chen, Jiaju; Zhang, Bo; Chen, Zhixin; Chen, JiapingOBJECTIVES: Despite its rising popularity, reports on the use of preoperative imatinib mesylate (IM) in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) are limited. This study aims to explore the clinical efficacy of preoperative IM in patients with primarily unresectable or metastatic/recurrent GIST. METHODS: Between September 2009 and February 2014, patients with primarily unresectable or metasta...

Properties of Aerosol in the North Atlantic Free Troposphere at the Pico Mounta...
Mazzoleni, Claudio; Mazzoleni, Lynn R.; Fialho, Paulo; Kumar, Sumit; Dzepina, Katja; Dziobak, Michael P.; Kramer, Louisa; Olsen, Seth C.; Owen, RobertThe Pico Mountain Observatory is located at an altitude of 2225 meters above sea level in the summit caldera of the Pico volcano in the Azores, Portugal (38.47°N, 28.40°W). The scientific value of the station stems from the fact that this is the only permanent free-tropospheric monitoring station in the central North Atlantic, with negligible influence from local sources and that frequently samples air from the...
