Isolation of Nuclei Tagged in Specific Cell Types (INTACT) in Arabidopsis
Many functionally distinct plant tissues have relatively low numbers of cells that are embedded within complex tissues. For example, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) consists of a small population of pluripoten...

Open AccessThe eINTACT system dissects bacterial exploitation of plant osmosignalling to enhance virulence
Bacteria inject effector proteins into host cells to manipulate cellular processes that promote disease. Since bacteria deliver minuscule amounts of effectors only into targeted host cells, it is technically c...

A single-mode wavelength-selectable erbium laser based on multiple-fiber-ring design
In this study, an erbium fiber ring laser is demonstrated by using multiple-fiber-ring (MFR) scheme to reach single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) operation. The proposed MFR architecture can not only mitigate the mu...

Effect of Mg addition on TiN inclusions in GCr15 bearing steel
Compared with the original GCr15 bearing steel, TiN inclusions are greatly reduced by the effect of Mg addition, and many different types of non-metallic Mg-containing inclusions were observed in Mg-treated GC...

Formation and Precipitation Mechanism of TiN Inclusion in Mg-Treated GCr15 Bearing Steel
TiN inclusions in both original and Mg-treated GCr15 bearing steels have been observed. The results of the observation show that most of the TiN inclusions observed in original the GCr15 bearing steel are sing...

Open AccessInsight-HXMT observations of jet-like corona in a black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
A black hole X-ray binary produces hard X-ray radiation from its corona and disk when the accreting matter heats up. During an outburst, the disk and corona co-evolves with each other. However, such an evoluti...
