The Complex Story of Plant Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channels.
Plant cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are tetrameric cation channels which may be activated by the cyclic nucleotides (cNMPs) adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP)....

A project procurement method (PPM) defines the roles and responsibilities of the participates involved in the construction project. Selecting a suitable PPM is one of the critical issues to achieve the success of a construction...
Optofluidic microchannels in aerogel
Limin Xiao, Timothy A Birks
Aug 15, 2011
We report optofluidic waveguides made by filling microchannels in aerogel with water. The aerogel cladding is a nanoporous material with an extremely low refractive index of similar to 1.05, giving a large index step from the...

CT Image Detection of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Based on the Improved Strategy YOLOv5
The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is a complicated process with a long wait. According to the WS 288-2017 standard, PTB can be divided into five types of imaging. To date, no relevant studies on PTB CT images based on the...
High finesse microfiber knot resonators made from double-ended tapered fibers
Limin Xiao, Timothy A Birks
Apr 01, 2011
We fabricated optical microfiber knot resonators from thin tapered fibers (diameter down to 1 mu m) linked to untapered fiber at both ends. We demonstrated a finesse of about 100, over twice as high as previously reported for...

Hydrophobic photonic crystal fibers
We propose and demonstrate hydrophobic photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). A chemical surface treatment for making PCFs hydrophobic is introduced. This repels water from the holes of PCFs, so that their optical properties remain...

Early Extracellular ATP Signaling in Arabidopsis Root Epidermis
Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is an important extracellular signaling agent, operating in growth regulation, stomatal conductance, and wound response. With the first receptor for extracellular ATP now identified in plants...

The decrotonylase FoSir5 facilitates mitochondrial metabolic state switching in conidial germination of Fusarium oxysporum.
Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most important pathogenic fungi with a broad range of plant and animal hosts. The first key step of its infection cycle is conidial germination, but there is limited information available on the...

English listening multimedia teaching courseware has the characteristics of both illustration and text, sound, and shape and provides a variety of possibilities for modern English listening teaching methods. Considering...
A scaling law for distinct electrocaloric cooling performance in low-dimensional organic, relaxor and anti-ferroelectrics.
Electrocaloric (EC) materials show promise in eco-friendly solid-state refrigeration and integrable on-chip thermal management. While direct measurement of EC thin-films still remains challenging, a generic theoretical framework...

Modular forms and SL(2, ℤ)-covariance of type IIB superstring theory
Abstract: The local higher-derivative interactions that enter into the low-energy expansion of the effective action of type IIB superstring theory with constant complex modulus generally violate the U(1) R-symmetry of IIB...

Employees' Behavioral Intention to Adopt Facial Recognition Payment to Service Customers
Facial recognition payment (FRP) is a crucial technology for digital transformation among merchants. However, few studies have explored employees' adoption of FRP. This study combined the status quo bias theory and the...
Stable low-loss optical nanofibres embedded in hydrophobic aerogel
Nanofibres, optical fibres narrower than the wavelength of light, degrade in hours on exposure to air. We show that encapsulation in hydrophobic silica aerogel (refractive index 1.05) provides protection and stability (over 2...

Semi-parametric methods of handling missing data in mortal cohorts under non-ignorable missingness.
Lan Wen, Shaun R Seaman
Jul 03, 2018
We propose semi-parametric methods to model cohort data where repeated outcomes may be missing due to death and non-ignorable dropout. Our focus is to obtain inference about the cohort composed of those who are still alive at...

Superstring amplitudes, unitarily, and Hankel determinants of multiple zeta values
Abstract: The interplay of unitarity and analyticity has long been known to impose strong constraints on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory and string theory. This has been highlighted in recent times in a number of...

Viscoelastic embedment behaviour of dowels and screws in timber under in-service vibration
Dowel and screw connections in timber structures behave nonlinearly, even at loads which would be experienced in a structure in normal service. They exhibit hysteresis and creep as a result of both the viscoelastic behaviour of...
