IMPROVED TRANSFORMATION EFFICIENCY OF DEXTRAN GENE(S) IN Saccharomyces cerevisae USING THE COMBINED EFFECT OF TWO DIFFERENT DIRECT TRANSFORMATION METHODS

Intact yeast cells Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be efficiency transformed by combined effect of polyethylene glycol and CaCl 2 . This study had been undertaken to determine the effect of using 24% (PEG) in 0.4M manitol and 30 mM MgCl 2 , 0.3% CaCl 2 and the combination of the two individuals. The results showed that (PEG) or CaCl 2 alone caused a few transformants and a low of transformation percentage. In addition, (PEG) gave higher transformants and transformation percentages more than that of CaCl 2 as it facilitates the entrance of DNA into the yeast cell walls. In contrast, the combined effect of (PEG) and CaCl 2 in the same condition reproducibly yield the maximum number of transformants and transformation percentages. Data also revealed that the transformation percentage was 2.5 fold higher than values given in individual treatment. It is obvious that higher culture viscosity were produced by transformants isolates from combined effect and CaCl 2 experiments. This observation was due to Ca ++ activated dextran sucrose by increasing the V max and decrease the K m of sucrose polymerase. In this study, transformants isolates seem to been differ in their ability to express dextran gene(s). This means that the events at one molecule can affect event at a distant location by different ways on the same molecule.
DO EXOGENOUS APPLICATION OF THIAMINE MITIGATES LOW SOIL BASE SATURATION EFFECTS ON BELL PEPPER PLANTS?

The intensive use of land to produce vegetables results in high soil degradation and cultivated area. The use of techniques and resources that make production possible under unfavorable conditions can be decisive for agriculture. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the isolated and joint effects of liming and thiamine application on the development of bell pepper plants. The treatments consisted of three different soil base saturation (36, 60, and 80%), combined with foliar application of thiamine (with and without) at a concentration of 100 mg L-1. It was found that thiamine mitigates the effects of low base saturation on the physiological traits of bell pepper plants. The increments related to the water use efficiency and instantaneous carboxylation efficiency allowed greater development of plants treated with thiamine. In addition, the application of thiamine is advantageous in cases where planting is carried out under conditions of low base saturation, followed by an adequate supply of nutrients or systems in which there is a partial or total correction of the soil chemical characteristics, promoting the development of plants and increased physiological activity.
Study of the Physical and Physiological Response of the Madura as a Breeding Source (Case Study in Waru Sub-District, Pamekasan District)

The study aimed to determine the physical and physiological response of the Madura bull as a breeding source. This study used 30 Madura bulls aged >12-24 months at Waru Sub District, Pamekasan District. The physical evaluation was performed including qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Physiological response was evaluated based on rectal temperature, respiration rate, and pulse rate. Physiological status measurements were carried out in the morning, day, and afternoon. This study used descriptive methods and direct observation. The results showed that qualitative characteristics of Madura bulls including color, ear shape, horn, tail tip warrants, back shape, leg shape and muzzle color already followed the SNI standards for the Madura beef cattle. According to quantitative characteristics, Madura bulls have 157 cm ± 12,6 chest circumference, 121 cm ± 10,8 body length, and 118,83 cm ± 7,21 height on average. These measurements were above the minimum standards set by SNI for the Madura beef cattle. The average temperature rectal of Madura Bull in the morning, day and afternoon were 37. 5⁰ C ± 0,46, 38. 6⁰ C ± 0,49 and 38. 2⁰C ± 0,42 respectively. The average pulse rate of Madura Bull in the morning, day and afternoon were 60.8 ± 0,37, 68.6 ± 4,01, and 65.6 ± 0,67 times per minute respectively. Respiration rate of Madura Bull in the morning, day and afternoon were 19 ± 0,25, 35.6 ± 2,11 and 25.7 ± 0,67 times per minute. Generally, the physiological status of Madura Bull including temperature rectal, pulse rate, and respiration rate were in normal conditions.

Componentwise linear ideals

Abstract A componentwise linear ideal is a graded ideal I of a polynomial ring such that, for each degree q, the ideal generated by all homogeneous polynomials of degree q belonging to I has a linear resolution. Examples of componentwise linear ideals include stable monomial ideals and Gotzmann ideals. The graded Betti numbers of a componentwise linear ideal can be determined by the graded Betti numbers of its components. Combinatorics on squarefree componentwise linear ideals will be especially studied. It turns out that the Stanley-Reisner ideal I Δ arising from a simplicial complex Δ is componentwise linear if and only if the Alexander dual of Δ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. This result generalizes the theorem by Eagon and Reiner which says that the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex has a linear resolution if and only if its Alexander dual is Cohen-Macaulay.
An Image Tampering Detection Algorithm of Qualification Certificate Based on CNN and SVM

: With the high speed development of digital image processing technology, the phenomenon of malicious tampering with certificate images is rampant. Facing the problems of difficult human eye recognition of tampering traces and poor detection and classification effect of CNN model, a tampering detection algorithm based on CNN combined with SVM is proposed. The algorithm first performs data preprocessing of image compression, difference, resise, and normalization on the image. Then it uses the CNN model to extract the tamper feature, finally completes the calculation and classification of the fully connected layer feature data through SVM, and builds a certified image CNN+SVM model with tamper detection capability. Experimental results show that comparing with the traditional human eye recognition method and the existing deep learning CNN model, the algorithm can reach a detection accuracy of 48.09%, 91.79 %, and 98.67% under the self-built data set of tampering with certificate images. The detection accuracy rate is higher than the previous two detection accuracy rates.
Isoperimetric inequalities using Varopoulos transport

The main results in this paper provide upper bounds of the second order Dehn functions for three-dimensional groups Nil and Sol. These upper bounds are obtained by using the Varopoulos transport argument on dual graphs. The first step is to start with reduced handlebody diagrams of the three-dimensional balls either immersed or embedded in the universal covers of each group and then define dual graphs using the 0-handles as vertices, 1-handles as edges. The idea is to reduce the original isoperimetric problem involving volume of three-dimensional balls and areas of their boundary spheres to a problem involving Varopoulos' notion of volume and boundary of finite domains in dual graphs.
Maternal and Fetal PI3K-p110α Deficiency Induces Sex-Specific Changes in Conceptus Growth and Placental Mitochondrial Bioenergetic Reserve in Mice

Simple Summary The placenta is responsible for materno-fetal resource allocation. Placental insufficiency may disrupt fetal growth trajectory, with negative consequences for maternal and fetal health. By manipulating a growth-controlling protein named PI3K-p110α, this work, performed on mice, shows the relevance of the maternal environment and fetal genotype in determining the conceptus growth and mitochondria bioenergetic reserve in the placental transport zone. Interestingly, the disruption of maternal and/or fetal PI3K-p110α exerted these effects in a sex-specific manner, with male fetuses more affected than females. These data highlight the importance of the sex of the fetus and placental mitochondrial function in the regulation of fetal growth. Abstract Fetal growth is reliant on placental formation and function, which, in turn, requires the energy produced by the mitochondria. Prior work has shown that both mother and fetus operate via the phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-p110α signalling pathway to modify placental development, function, and fetal growth outcomes. This study in mice used genetic inactivation of PI3K-p110α (α/+) in mothers and fetuses and high resolution respirometry to investigate the influence of maternal and fetal PI3K-p110α deficiency on fetal and placental growth, in relation to placental mitochondrial bioenergetics, for each fetal sex. The effect of PI3K-p110α deficiency on maternal body composition was also determined to understand more about the maternal-driven changes in feto-placental development. These data show that male fetuses were more sensitive than females to fetal PI3K-p110α deficiency, as they had greater reductions in fetal and placental weight, when compared to their WT littermates. Placental weight was also altered in males only of α/+ dams. In addition, α/+ male, but not female, fetuses showed an increase in mitochondrial reserve capacity, when compared to their WT littermates in α/+ dams. Finally, α/+ dams exhibited reduced adipose depot masses, compared to wild-type dams. These findings, thus, demonstrate that maternal nutrient reserves and ability to apportion nutrients to the fetus are reduced in α/+ dams. Moreover, maternal and fetal PI3K-p110α deficiency impacts conceptus growth and placental mitochondrial bioenergetic function, in a manner dependent on fetal sex.
The Lacerta OB1 Association

Lac OB1 is a nearby OB association in its final stage of star formation. While the member stars suggest an expansion time scale of tens of Myr, the latest star formation episode, as manifested by the existence of massive and pre-main sequence stars, took place no more than a few Myr ago. The remnant molecular clouds in the region provide evidence of starbirth triggered by massive stars.
Branching Brownian motion with selection of the N right-most particles: An approximate model

We present an approximation to the Brunet--Derrida model of supercritical branching Brownian motion on the real line with selection of the $N$ right-most particles, valid when the population size $N$ is large. It consists of introducing a random space-time barrier at which particles are instantaneously killed in such a way that the population size stays almost constant over time. We prove that the suitably recentered position of this barrier converges at the $\log^3 N$ timescale to a L\'evy process, which we identify. This validates the physicists' predictions about the fluctuations in the Brunet--Derrida model.
Predictors of Supervisee Self-Disclosure Within the Supervisory Relationship

The present study investigates how the supervisory working alliance, supervisor’s style, and the supervisee’s level of self-efficacy are able to predict the supervisee’s level of self-disclosure to the supervisor. Forty-two supervisees completed the Working Alliance Inventory – Trainee (Bahrick, 1990), Trainee Disclosure Scale (Walker, Ladany, & Pate-Carolan, 2007), Supervisory Style Inventory (Friedlander & Ward, 1984), and Counseling Activity Self-Efficacy Scales (Lent, Hill, & Hoffman, 2003). The supervisee’s level of self-disclosure was statistically significantly predicted by the supervisory working alliance, supervisor’s style, and the supervisee’s counseling self-efficacy. Counseling self-efficacy was found to be a statistically significant predictor of supervisee self-disclosure.
Quantum computer of wire circuit architecture

First solid state quantum computer was built using transmons (cooper pair boxes). The operation of the computer is limited because of using a number of the rigit cooper boxes working with fixed frequency at temperatures of superconducting material. Here, we propose a novel architecture of quantum computer based on a flexible wire circuit of many coupled quantum nodes containing controlled atomic (molecular) ensembles. We demonstrate wide opportunities of the proposed computer. Firstly, we reveal a perfect storage of external photon qubits to multi-mode quantum memory node and demonstrate a reversible exchange of the qubits between any arbitrary nodes. We found optimal parameters of atoms in the circuit and self quantum modes for quantum processing. The predicted perfect storage has been observed experimentally for microwave radiation on the lithium phthalocyaninate molecule ensemble. Then also, for the first time we show a realization of the efficient basic two-qubit gate with direct coupling of two arbitrary nodes by using appropriate atomic frequency shifts in the circuit nodes. Proposed two-qubit gate runs with a speed drastically accelerated proportionally to the number of atoms in the node. The direct coupling and accelerated two-qubit gate can be realized for large number of the circuit nodes. Finally, we describe two and three-dimensional scalable architectures that pave the road to construction of universal multi-qubit quantum computer operating at room temperatures.
Design of a Memristor-Based 2-DOF PI Controller and Testing of Its Temperature Profile Tracking in a Heat Flow System

In this study, a memristor-based 2-DOF PI controller (2-DOF Mem-PI) was designed for the temperature profile tracking control of a model of heat flow experiment (HFE) setup. A simulation study is presented in which the performance of the designed controller is compared with a standard 2-DOF PI controller. Compared to 1-DOF control structures, 2-DOF controllers that include an extra adjustable parameter perform better in terms of response to disturbances and improving the transient response of the system. In addition, memristor-based controllers (Mem-PI and 2-DOF Mem-PI) and standard controllers (PI and 2-DOF PI) were compared and it was determined that because of the variable memristance value, the control structures containing memristors showed an adaptive feature. The simulation results demonstrated the success of the proposed controller in temperature profile reference tracking and showed the memristor to be applicable in nonlinear control structures.
An Improved Deep Residual Convolutional Neural Network for Plant Leaf Disease Detection

In this research, we proposed a novel deep residual convolutional neural network with 197 layers (ResNet197) for the detection of various plant leaf diseases. Six blocks of layers were used to develop ResNet197. ResNet197 was trained and tested using a combined plant leaf disease image dataset. Scaling, cropping, flipping, padding, rotation, affine transformation, saturation, and hue transformation techniques were used to create the augmentation data of the plant leaf disease image dataset. The dataset consisted of 103 diseased and healthy image classes of 22 plants and 154,500 images of healthy and diseased plant leaves. The evolutionary search technique was used to optimise the layers and hyperparameter values of ResNet197. ResNet197 was trained on the combined plant leaf disease image dataset using a graphics processing unit (GPU) environment for 1000 epochs. It produced a 99.58 percentage average classification accuracy on the test dataset. The experimental results were superior to existing ResNet architectures and recent transfer learning techniques.
A Riboswitch-Driven Era of New Antibacterials

Riboswitches are structured non-coding RNAs found in the 5′ UTR of important genes for bacterial metabolism, virulence and survival. Upon the binding of specific ligands that can vary from simple ions to complex molecules such as nucleotides and tRNAs, riboswitches change their local and global mRNA conformations to affect downstream transcription or translation. Due to their dynamic nature and central regulatory role in bacterial metabolism, riboswitches have been exploited as novel RNA-based targets for the development of new generation antibacterials that can overcome drug-resistance problems. During recent years, several important riboswitch structures from many bacterial representatives, including several prominent human pathogens, have shown that riboswitches are ideal RNA targets for new compounds that can interfere with their structure and function, exhibiting much reduced resistance over time. Most interestingly, mainstream antibiotics that target the ribosome have been shown to effectively modulate the regulatory behavior and capacity of several riboswitches, both in vivo and in vitro, emphasizing the need for more in-depth studies and biological evaluation of new antibiotics. Herein, we summarize the currently known compounds that target several main riboswitches and discuss the role of mainstream antibiotics as modulators of T-box riboswitches, in the dawn of an era of novel inhibitors that target important bacterial regulatory RNAs.
Observations of Waves and Oscillations in the Solar Magnetic Fine Structure

We study the oscillatory behaviour of small-scale magnetic flux-tube concentrations and their immediate surroundings by analysing high spatial resolution time series of spectra of four Zeeman sensitive lines (Fe I 5247.1, Cr I 5247.6, Fe I 5250.2, Fe I 5250.7) taken simultaneously in left-hand and right-hand circularly polarized light with the Echelle spectrograph at the Vacuum Tower Telescope in Izana, Tenerife. The velocity field inside the magnetic elements is dominated by the 5-min oscillations which also show up as periodic variations in the relative am plitude asymmetry of the Stokes V profiles. In other parameters as for instance the Stokes V peak separation we cannot detect an oscillatory component. Neither the magnetic line ratio nor the thermal line ratio is affected by the 5-min oscillations, although the latter reveals remarkable spatio-temporal variations.

Oligocene flora from Makum Coalfield, Assam, India

The coal bearing Oligocene sediments exposed in the Makum Coalfield, Assam contain rich assemblage of mega-plant remains. Out of a large number of leaves and fruits collected from the associated sediments at Baragolai. Ledo-Tirap and Tipongpani collieries of the Makum Coalfield, 24 species of dicotyledonous taxa have been identified. Of these, 22 are represented by leaves belonging to the genera Saccopetalum (Anonaceae); Calophyllum, Garcinia, Kayea (Clusiaceae); Pterygota (Sterculiaceae); Santiria (Burseraceae); Heynea (Meliaceae); Nephelium (Sapindaceae); Lannea, Mangifera, Parishia (Anacardiaceae); Rhizophora (Rhizophoraceae); Terminalia (Combretaceae); Memecylon (Memecylaceae); Avicennia (Avicenniaceae); Alstonia (Apocynaceae); Myristica (Myristicaceae), Apollonias (Lauraceae) and Bridelia (Euphorbiaceae). The remaining two taxa are based on fruit/seed comparable to those of Dalbergia and Entadu of Fabaceae. The distribution pattern of comparable modern taxa of fossils and keeping in view the great amount and variety of plants preserved in the sediments, it is inferred that thick tropical evergreen to moist deciduous forest existed in this part of northeast India during Oligocene. Occurrence of Avicennia, Rhizophora and Terminalia catappa suggests deltaic, mangrove or agoonal deposition of coalseams and associated sediments in the Makum Coalfield.
