Growth rate rather than growth duration drives growth heterosis in maize B104 hybrids Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie Universiteit Gent
Major Changes in Growth Rate and Growth Variability of Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Related to Soil Alteration and Climate Change in Belgium KU Leuven
© 2016 by the authors. Global change-particularly climate change, forest management, and atmospheric deposition-has significantly altered forest growing conditions in Europe. The influences of these changes on beech growth (Fagus sylvatica L.) were investigated for the past 80 years in Belgium, using non-linear mixed effects models on ring-width chronologies of 149 mature and dominant beech trees (87-186 years old). The effects of the ...
Analysis of grain topology and volumetric growth rate relation in three-dimensional normal grain growth KU Leuven
© 2018 Acta Materialia Inc. The volumetric growth rate of individual grains as a function of their number of sides, as well as the average normalized volumetric growth rate for a given topological class are studied based on large-scale phase-field simulations of normal grain growth. For all cases, where different initial grain size distributions are considered, the same averaged normalized volumetric growth rate for a given topological class was ...
Pollen tube NAD(P)H oxidases act as a speed control to dampen growth rate oscillations during polarized cell growth Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NAD(P)H oxidases play a central role in plant stress responses and development. To better understand the function of NAD(P)H oxidases in plant development, we characterized the Arabidopsis thaliana NAD(P)H oxidases RBOHH and RBOHJ. Both proteins were specifically expressed in pollen and dynamically targeted to distinct and overlapping plasma membrane domains at the pollen tube tip. Functional loss of ...
Growth rate for the selective epitaxial growth of III-V compounds inside submicron shallow-trench-isolation trenches on Si (001) substrates by MOVPE: Modeling and experiments KU Leuven
A mathematical model was developed to examine the growth rate of III–V compounds inside sub-micron trenches by MOVPE. Based on this model, we theoretically analyzed the possible dependence of the growth rate on the trench width primarily from two aspects, i.e. Knudson diffusion and enhanced equilibrium vapor pressure due to the shrinking trench size. Then, associated with the experimental data from the growth of both InAlAs and InAs, we found ...
Defining the relationship between fetal Doppler indices, abdominal circumference and growth rate in severe fetal growth restriction using functional linear discriminant analysis KU Leuven
The relationship between Doppler measurements, size and growth rate in fetal growth restriction has not been defined. We used functional linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) to investigate these parameters taking account of the difficulties inherent in exploring relationships between repeated observations from a small number of cases. In 40 fetuses with severe growth restriction, serial abdominal circumference (AC), umbilical, middle cerebral ...

Rapid Growth Reduces Cold Resistance: Evidence from Latitudinal Variation in Growth Rate, Cold Resistance and Stress Proteins KU Leuven
Background: Physiological costs of rapid growth may contribute to the observation that organisms typically grow at submaximal rates. Although, it has been hypothesized that faster growing individuals would do worse in dealing with suboptimal temperatures, this type of cost has never been explored empirically. Furthermore, the mechanistic basis of the physiological costs of rapid growth is largely unexplored.
