Study on the biomass change derived from the hyperspectral data of cotton leaves in canopy under moisture stress
In this study, an ASD spectrometer made in USA is used to derive the hyperspectral data of cotton leaves in canopy in north **njiang. The integral area variables of red edge are used to estimate the total nitr...

Quantitative assessment and analysis on the dynamic change of ecological capital in arid areas
Ecological capital is the summation of the direct value of biological resources and the ecological service function value of ecosystems. Under the support of RS, GPS and GIS, in this paper the RS-based quantit...

The cost of feedback control
Noise in biochemical processes can compromise precision in cellular functions. An analysis involving information theory suggests that there is a strict limit to how far noise can be suppressed by feedback.

Metal-enhanced fluorescence of lanthanide chelates near silver nanostructured films
Metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) from lanthanide chelates in close proximity to silver films was studied. Different thicknesses of silver films (20 and 50 nm) were deposited onto quartz substrates using magne...

Open AccessAkt signaling-associated metabolic effects of dietary gold nanoparticles in Drosophila
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are often used as vehicles to deliver drugs or biomolecules, due to their mild effect on cell survival and proliferation. However, little is known about their effect on cellular meta...

Photochemical alteration of biogenic particles in wastewater effluents
Biogenic particles discharged by wastewater treatment plants play important roles in receiving water because of the large specific surface area and good mobility of the particles. In this study, the changes in...

Open AccessThe first report of a Pelecaniformes defensin cluster: Characterization of β-defensin genes in the crested ibis based on BAC libraries
Defensins play a key role in the innate immunity of various organisms. Detailed genomic studies of the defensin cluster have only been reported in a limited number of birds. Herein, we present the first charac...

Open AccessUtilization of different waste proteins to create a novel PGPR-containing bio-organic fertilizer
High-quality bio-organic fertilizers (BIOs) cannot be produced without the addition of some proteins, while many waste proteins are haphazardly disposed, causing serious environmental pollution. In this study,...

Open AccessGenomic organization of the crested ibis MHC provides new insight into ancestral avian MHC structure
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays an important role in immune response. Avian MHCs are not well characterized, only reporting highly compact Galliformes MHCs and extensively fragmented zebra fin...

Genomic structure and evolution of beta-defensin genes in the golden pheasant and hwamei
Defensins play a vital role in the early stage of infection before adaptive immune responses are generated. Thus far, only limited detailed genomic data for avian defensin genes have been described. Here, usin...

Open AccessAuditory sequence processing reveals evolutionarily conserved regions of frontal cortex in macaques and humans
An evolutionary account of human language as a neurobiological system must distinguish between human-unique neurocognitive processes supporting language and evolutionarily conserved, domain-general processes t...

Open AccessNonvolatile modulation of electronic structure and correlative magnetism of L10-FePt films using significant strain induced by shape memory substrates
Tuning the lattice strain (εL) is a novel approach to manipulate the magnetic, electronic and transport properties of spintronic materials. Achievable εL in thin film samples induced by traditional ferroelectric ...

Open AccessRational design of a protein that binds integrin αvβ3 outside the ligand binding site
Integrin αvβ3 expression is altered in various diseases and has been proposed as a drug target. Here we use a rational design approach to develop a therapeutic protein, which we call ProAgio, that binds to integr...

Open AccessIdentification of a 5-Methylcytosine Site that may Regulate C/EBPβ Binding and Determine Tissue-Specific Expression of the BPI Gene in Piglets
Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) plays an important role in innate immune defense in mammals. A previous study showed that BPI gene expression correlates to gram-negative bacteria resistance. Ho...
