DEVELOPMENT OF A VIRTUAL FORCE SENSOR FOR A LOW-COST COLLABORATIVE ROBOT AND APPLICATIONS TO SAFETY CONTROL


microRNA as a potential vector for the propagation of robustness in protein expression and oscillatory dynamics within a ceRNA network.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression.miRNAs can induce thresholds in protein synthesis.Such thresholds in protein output can be also achieved by oligomerization of transcription factors (TF) for the control of gene expression.First, we propose a minimal model for protein e

In Dormant Red Rice Seeds, the Inhibition of Early Seedling Growth, but Not of Germination, Requires Extracellular ABA

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits seed germination and seedling growth and is required for the inception of dormancy.Xanthoxal (also known as xanthoxin) is the first specific biosynthetic precursor of Reversing Camera Accessory ABA.In this study, a modified method to produce xanthoxal is described.I tested the ability of either xanthoxa

The oropharyngeal morphology in the semiaquatic giant Asian pond turtle, Heosemys grandis, and its evolutionary implications.

The oropharynx as a functional entity plays a fundamental role in feeding.Transitions from aquatic to terrestrial lifestyles in vertebrates demanded major changes of the oropharynx for the required adaptations to a different feeding environment.Extant turtles evolved terrestrial feeding modes in three families (testudinids, emydids, geoemydids)-ind
