The influence of genotype and panicle position on sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] kernel growth is poorly understood. In the present study, sorghum kernel weight (KW) differences during grain filling were analyzed ...

We analyze reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of positive definite kernels on a topological space X being either first countable or locally compact. The results include versions of Mercer's theorem and theorems on the ...

We prove that any continuous function with domain {z ∈ C: |z| ≤ 1} that generates a bizonal positive definite kernel on the unit sphere in 'C POT.Q' , q ⩾ 3, is continuously differentiable in {z ∈ C: |z| < 1} up to order ...

Convolution is an important tool in the construction of positive definite kernels on a manifold. This contribution provides conditions on an 'L POT.2'-positive definite and zonal kernel on the unit sphere of 'C POT.Q' in ...

Influence of kernel position on zeaxanthin, lutein, total carotenoid (TC) and quality parameters was evaluated in a zeaxanthin-biofortified and a commercial yellow sweet-corn. Cobs were harvested at six different maturity ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) grain is an important feed- stock for the ethanol-producing industry. However, little is known about the optimum grain quality for optimizing ethanol yielding efficiencies. We specifically investigated ...

Kernel methods are a class of statistical machine learning models based on positive semidefinite kernels, which serve as a measure of similarity between data features. Examples of kernel methods include kernel ridge ...

Understanding source or sink limitations on crop yield is critical for the rational design of agricultural practices as well as breeding strategies. In the present article, we studied sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] ...

A positive summability trigonometric kernel {K(n)(theta)}(infinity)(n=1) is generated through a sequence of univalent polynomials constructed by Suffridge. We prove that the convolution {K(n) * f} approximates every ...
