Effects of simultaneous Rubisco, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and triosephosphate isomerase overexpression on photosynthesis in rice (2023)

ABSTRACTRubisco overexpression does not lead to substantial photosynthesis improvement. One of the possible causes is the over-accumulation of 3-phosphoglycerate in the Calvin–Benson cycle. We have previously suggested that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and triosephosphate isomerase (TPI), involved in 3-phosphoglycerate metabolism, have control over the Calvin–Benson cycle metabolism and photosynthesis. In the present study, Rubisco, GADPH, and TPI were simultaneously overexpressed in rice plants through crossing to improve photosynthesis and its N use efficiency. The percentage of N allocated to Rubisco and GAPDH and TPI levels in the transgenic plant increased 1.1-, 4.9-, and 2.1-fold, respectively, compared to those in wild-type plants, showing overexpression of these enzymes. However, there were no marked increases in CO2 assimilation rates at different CO2 levels and capacities of Rubisco carboxylation, regeneration of Rubisco substrate, and triose phosphate use calculated using the CO2 assimilation rates in the transgenic plants. The ratios of these photosynthetic capacities to total leaf-N level tended to be slightly lower in the transgenic plants than those in the wild-type plants, implying a marginal decrease in photosynthetic N use efficiency. In the transgenic rice plants substantially overexpressing GAPDH and TPI, photosynthesis at elevated CO2 levels, which is assumed to be limited factors other than Rubisco, was only slightly improved. Therefore, it is suggested that simultaneous Rubisco, GAPDH, and TPI overexpression do not improve photosynthesis and its N use efficiency, as GAPDH and TPI overexpression do not improve the 3-phosphoglycerate metabolism sufficiently to alleviate its over-accumulation caused by Rubisco overexpression.KEYWORDS: CO2 assimilationglyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenasericeRubiscotriosephosphate isomerase AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Dr Uzuki Matsushima (Iwate University) for the aid in measurements of photosynthesis, and Editage for English editing.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency under CREST No. JPMJCR15O3 to Y.S. and C.M. and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science under Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Nos 18H02111 and 21H02084 to Y.S. and No. 16H06379 to A.M.

Experiment results are included to support the proposed theoretical models.
Organic Thin‐Film Transistors for Chemical and Biological Sensing (2011)

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) show promising applications in various chemical and biological sensors. The advantages of OTFT-based sensors include high sensitivity, low cost, easy fabrication, flexibility and biocompatibility. In this paper, we review the chemical sensors and biosensors based on two types of OTFTs, including organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), mainly focusing on the papers published in the past 10 years. Various types of OTFT-based sensors, including pH, ion, glucose, DNA, enzyme, antibody-antigen, cell-based sensors, dopamine sensor, etc., are classified and described in the paper in sequence. The sensing mechanisms and the detection limits of the devices are described in details. It is expected that OTFTs may have more important applications in chemical and biological sensing with the development of organic electronics.
Problemas de la medición estadística del fenómeno turístico (2023)

Para todas las medidas cualitativas del turismo y en la perspectiva de los estudios de mercado, todos los sondeos, incluso los muy modestos, efectuados en un medio homogéneo tienen un gran interés. En Francia, faltos de coordinación universitaria, muchos estudios se malogran desventuradamente. Por falta de coordinación administrativa, los estudios inútilmente inciden sobre el mismo tema; varios servicios realizan trabajos que de nada sirven por no saber lo que otros servicios vecinos han llevado a cabo. Es necesario establecer un Plan o programa de medición correcta del turismo
Association between cancer prevalence and use of thiazolidinediones: results from the Vermont Diabetes Information System (2007)

Blind adaptive multiuser CDMA detection based on a linear projection constraint (1997)

Minimum output energy (MOE) detection has recently been proposed for code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. The MOE detector can be blindly adapted with standard adaptive algorithms without the knowledge of interferer's parameters. But the performance of the MOE detector may degrade substantially if the multipath interference causes a signature mismatch. A projection-based blind adaptive multiuser detector is proposed. The proposed detector is motivated by the linearity of multipath interference. We construct a subspace that is orthogonal to the space spanned by the desired signature vector with different possible delays. If the steering vector is in the orthogonal subspace in each step of the adaptive algorithm, there is no cancellation of the desired signal. Thus better performance can be expected in the presence of linear multipath interferences.
Synthesis and characterization of solid single ion conductors based on poly[lithium tetrakis(ethyleneboryl)borate] (2008)

Main chain anionic polymers with lithium cations, which have tetrakis(ethyleneboryl)borate as repeating units, were prepared and their ionic conductivities were determined. The polyelectrolyte is characterized both as-synthesized and after annealing at 275 °C by means of impedance spectroscopy, direct current measurements, 11B, 13C, 1H, static 7Li solid state NMR and IR spectroscopies, and DT/TG/MS techniques. The important feature of this novel solid polyelectrolyte is that the anion is immobilized on the polymer chain. The single ionic conduction was confirmed by the observation of constant current under dc electric field with non-blocking electrodes. The material exhibits a high Li+ transference number. The annealed polymer has an ionic conductivity of 1.6 × 10−6 S cm−1 at 275 °C with an activation energy of 70 kJ mol−1.
Unconventional UHF RFID Tags with Sensing and Computing Capabilities (2014)

The design of fully-passive UHF RFID tags preserving cost-effectiveness, yet supplying augmented capabilities, represents an ambitious and stimulating challenge, as such devices would pave the way to a large class of applications where identification, computation, automatic cognition, and wireless sensing are required. In this work, two solutions are proposed. The former, named RAMSES, is optimized for RFID-based sensing and relies on a novel approach exploiting a new-generation I2C-UHF RFID chip. RAMSES is able to write sensor data into the EPC and communicate up to 5 m of distance from a conventional UHF RFID Class-1 Generation-2 (Gen2) reader. The latter solution, named SPARTACUS, renounces part of this long operating range in exchange for additional computing capabilities enabling an increased interaction with RFID readers. SPARTACUS represents the first example in literature of RFID device embedding sensing/actuation functionalities, distributed computation, and fully bidirectional communication with the reader. Satisfactory operating range, sensing, computation, data storage, and cost-effectiveness are the main strengths making the proposed devices definitely suitable for a wide array of novel and unconventional RFID applications.
MODULATION OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN IN SICKLE CELL ANEMIA (2001)

A partial understanding of the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease has suggested one means of treatment-increasing the distribution and concentration of fetal hemoglobin in sickle erythrocytes. Although this can be accomplished clinically with drugs like hydroxyurea, a complete understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of fetal hemoglobin regulation may suggest new and better ways of attaining this goal.
Auto-summarization of audio-video presentations (1999)

As streaming audio-video technology becomes widespread, there is a dramatic increase in the amount of multimedia content available on the net. Users face a new challenge: How to examine large amounts of multimedia content quickly. One technique that can enable quick overview of multimedia is video summaries; that is, a shorter version assembled by picking important segments from the original. We evaluate three techniques for automatic creation of summaries for online audio-video presentations. These techniques exploit information in the audio signal (e.g., pitch and pause information), knowledge of slide transition points in the presentation, and information about access patterns of previous users. We report a user study that compares automatically generated summaries that are 20%-25% the length of full presentations to author generated summaries. Users learn from the computer-generated summaries, although less than from authors' summaries. They initially find computer-generated summaries less coherent, but quickly grow accustomed to them.
Accuracy of NOAC Prescribing in Primary and Secondary Care: Retrospective Cohort Study (2019)

This retrospective multi-centred cohort study assessed non-vitamin K oral anticoagulation (NOAC) prescribing in
 4 separate general practices in the UK. Using NICE clinical knowledge skills (NICE-CKS) guidelines we assessed
 the accuracy and validity of NOAC prescribing. We identified 337 patients on NOACs. The most commonly
 prescribed NOAC was Apixaban (65.3%), followed by Rivaroxaban (20.5%), Dabigatran (10.4%) and Edoxaban
 (3.8%). Prescribing was predominantly carried out in secondary care (wards 51.9%, clinics 19.3%) with 28.8% of
 prescribing in general practice. The most common indication requiring anticoagulation was arrhythmias (80.1%),
 followed by venous thrombus embolus (VTE) (18.1%). The remaining indications were for unlicensed use (1.8%)
 including left ventricular thrombus, portal vein thrombus, and cardiac transplant. Furthermore, of the patients on
 a NOAC for an arrhythmia, 2.1% and 0.6% were for atrial tachycardia and recurrent sinus ventricular tachycardia
 respectively, also unlicensed indications. We found 80 patients (23.7%) on the incorrect NOAC dose with 62%
 under anti-coagulated 38% over anti-coagulated. Of the patients under anti-coagulated, one had subsequently had a
 stroke and one a transient ischaemic attack. Of the patients over anti-coagulated, one patient had a significant upper
 gastrointestinal bleed. The reasons for incorrect prescribing included worsening renal function (64%), deteriorating
 weight (24%), and increasing age (12%). We found only 30% of patients were followed up adequately at three and
 twelve months post NOAC prescribing. We found patients that had direct contraindications to NOACs. These
 contraindications included two patients with an abdominal aortic aneurism, two patients with active cancer and
 one with a recent haemorrhage.
We also found five patients with provoked VTEs still on a NOAC beyond 6 months treatment. Furthermore, in
 those patients with unprovoked VTEs requiring lifelong prophylaxis-treatment, we found three patients still on the
 higher treatment-dose NOAC.
CHARACTERIZATION OF A 3 - PHASE A. C. PLASMA PROCESS (2023)

A 3-phase plasma reactor has been developed in the frame of researches on Carbon Black production from hydrocarbon cracking. The process optimization has led us to characterize the pilot into two main directions : arc zone behavior and general flow field into the reactor. The arc zone analysis has been carried out using ultra high-speed cine-camera. The flow in the reactor has been modelled with a CFD code. Results have been compared with experimental measurements.
Optimization of beam orientations in radiation therapy: some theoretical considerations (1993)

The problem of optimizing beam orientations for irradiations with multiple fixed beams is investigated. It is shown that this is a complex, in mathematical terms 'non-convex', optimization problem, whose solution requires sophisticated techniques. In this work, the optimization is performed with the method of simulated annealing. In order to keep the calculation time within reasonable limits, the problem is expressed in the spatial frequency domain using Parseval's theorem. All calculations are then performed in the frequency domain. The algorithm is described in detail. Various treatment techniques, including intensity modulation, are considered. The results for various exemplary cases are presented. They are based on a simplified dose calculation model. A general conclusion is that the optimum beam configuration for multiple-beam irradiations (with more than three beams) tends to be an even distribution over an angular range of 0 to 2 pi.
Observation and Monitoring of Mangrove Forests Using Remote Sensing: Opportunities and Challenges (2016)

Mangrove forests, distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, are in a constant flux. They provide important ecosystem goods and services to nature and society. In recent years, the carbon sequestration potential and protective role of mangrove forests from natural disasters is being highlighted as an effective option for climate change adaptation and mitigation. The forests are under threat from both natural and anthropogenic forces. However, accurate, reliable, and timely information of the distribution and dynamics of mangrove forests of the world is not readily available. Recent developments in the availability and accessibility of remotely sensed data, advancement in image pre-processing and classification algorithms, significant improvement in computing, availability of expertise in handling remotely sensed data, and an increasing awareness of the applicability of remote sensing products has greatly improved our scientific understanding of changing mangrove forest cover attributes. As reported in this special issue, the use of both optical and radar satellite data at various spatial resolutions (i.e., 1 m to 30 m) to derive meaningful forest cover attributes (e.g., species discrimination, above ground biomass) is on the rise. This multi-sensor trend is likely to continue into the future providing a more complete inventory of global mangrove forest distributions and attribute inventories at enhanced temporal frequency. The papers presented in this “Special Issue” provide important remote sensing monitoring advancements needed to meet future scientific objectives for global mangrove forest monitoring from local to global scales.
A PROGRESSIVA VIOLÊNCIA URBANA ADSTRITO À CRIMINALIDADE (2018)

Com intuito de observar como a violencia urbanatorna-se uma motivacao para a criminalidade, um gradativo agravante para a sociedade, este trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar os aspectos que norteiam a crescente violencia urbana e criminalidade, com enfases em sua origem, nos reflexos perante a sociedade, apresentando uma perspectiva interiorana em conjunto com a totalidade de uma conjuntura, atraves de um estudo bibliografico documental. Procura-se destacar que o estudo da criminologia possui ligacao direta com o aumento da criminalidade que, por sua vez, e oriunda de uma violencia urbana acometida principalmente pela cultura de nosso pais, que cresce a medida que o tempo passa. Nesse contexto, ressalta-se que o tema possui uma problematica extremamente visada, ao ponto em que o trafico de drogas entra em cena incluso ao paulatino numero de jovens e adolescentes que se sentem atraidos para esse “mundo”, no qual ha como respostas homicidios e tentativas que perpetuam nas referidas regioes que estao a margem da sociedade. Nesse sentindo, se este problema nao for explanado de forma clara, e considerado pelos poderes competentes, continuara sendo apenas um estudo estatistico que nao possui tendencia para a seguranca publica.
Assessment of vascular maturation in non-small cell lung cancer using a novel basement membrane component, LH39: correlation with p53 and angiogenic factor expression. (1999)

Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels, has been demonstrated to be a potent and independent indicator of prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer patients. The extent of differentiation of the tumor vessels may affect access of peripheral white cells and egress or invasion of tumor cells. This has not been assessed in relation to tumor microvessel density or other variables and may be a marker of vascular remodeling. LH39 is a monoclonal antibody recognizing an epitope located at the lamina lucida of mature small veins and capillaries but not in newly formed vessels. We examined the ratio of mature:immature vessels in 81 non-small cell lung carcinomas and correlated the vascular maturation index (VMI) to different clinicopathological variables including angiogenesis. Mature vessels were defined by staining with antibodies to both LH39 and to CD31, using double immunohistochemistry, whereas immature vessels stained only for CD31. VMI was defined as the percentage fraction of mature vessels (LH39 positive)/total number of vessels (CD31 positive). The median VMI in lung carcinomas was 46% (range, 15-90%). There was a significant inverse correlation between high VMI and low thymidine phosphorylase expression (P = 0.0001), high VMI and nuclear p53 negativity (P = 0.01), high VMI and low angiogenesis (P = 0.0001), as well as between high VMI and absence of nodal involvement (P = 0.01). Low angiogenesis and high VMI were associated with a significantly better outcome (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively). These findings show that there is a wide variation in the differentiation of tumor vasculature in lung carcinomas, and VMI gives new information on the degree of active tumor vascular remodeling independently from microvessel quantitation.

This has made the design of a more interactive realistic world where the student can interact with other users and share his emotions.
Application of loop frame of reference to power flow tracing and loss allocation (2005)

This paper introduces a new power flow tracing and subsequently loss allocation method based on loop analysis. The knowledge of the loop paths aids in the visualisation of presumed transfer of power throughout the transmission network. A formalised process of loop identification, based on graph theory, is introduced to ensure that each loop contains at least one active source. This way, the system losses can be readily and justifiably allocated to the active sources in the network without involving any approximations. The proposed method is applied to both a small test system and the IEEE 14-bus test system, demonstrating the features and limitations of the proposed methodology
Wireless power transmission for medical applications (2009)

We studied the wireless power transmission capabilities of microwave through human skin-tissue. Microwave transmission through simulated human skins was tested with rectenna array as a power receiver located under the simulated human skin tissue. Most of transplanted medical devices and sensors require power to operate autonomously but currently by imbedded battery. Wireless power transmission alleviates the needs of imbedded power source and hard-wire power network. We used human skin-like materials, such as various polyurethanes and pork skin, under X-band microwave exposure. Transmission rate through various polyurethanes under the threshold limit value (TLV) and dielectric constant was measured in this experiment. It is also critical to measure specific absorption rates (SAR) of polyurethanes and transmission rates through polyurethanes as well as pork skin. This paper presents power transmission rates under varying thickness of polyurethanes, and effectiveness and efficiency of rectennas under the TLV of microwave power. In addition, we will discuss milimeter wave thermograph and hazards the absorption characteristics of human skin under 8-13 GHz using the results of polyurethanes and pork skin.
MONITORING RAPID VALVE FORMATION IN THE PENNATE DIATOM<i>NAVICULA SALINARUM</i>(BACILLARIOPHYCEAE)<sup>1</sup> (2005)

After each division of a diatom cell, a new siliceous hypovalve is formed inside the silica deposition vesicle (SDV). We present the sequence of this early formation of the new valve in the pennate marine diatom Navicula salinarum (Grunow) Hustedt, visualized by using the fluorescent probe 2‐(4‐pyridyl)‐5‐((4‐(2‐dimethylaminoethylamino‐carbamoyl)methoxy)phenyl)oxazole (PDMPO). Our observations confirm that two‐dimensional expansion of the growing valve is a rapid process of no more than 15 min; three‐dimensional completion of the valve appears to be slower, lasting most of the time valve formation takes. The results are relevant to studies of the timing of molecular processes involved in valve formation (i.e. the bio‐ and morphogenesis of the SDV) in relation to uptake and transport of silicic acid. Use of this probe helps us to identify specific developmental stages for further detail analysis of diatom basilica formation, which eventually could lead to obtaining enriched SDV fractions.
