A multispectral digital microscope (MDM) is designed and constructed as a tool to improve detection of oral neoplasia. The MDM acquires in vivo images of oral tissue in fluorescence, narrow-band (NB) reflectance, and orthogonal polarized reflectance (OPR) modes, to enable evaluation of lesions that may not exhibit high contrast under standard white light illumination. The device rapidly capture...

Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus sojae are two morphologically similar species belonging to the Aspergillus section flavi. A new method to distinguish the two species, the aflatoxin producer A. parasiticus and the koji mold A. sojae, was developed. Single primers with arbitrary sequences were used to generate random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers from strains of these two speci...

The 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are flavin mononucleotide-dependent oxidoreductases that catalyse the reduction of double bonds in α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and ketones and some of them are part of the octadecanoid pathway leading to jasmonic acid biosynthesis. In this paper, a member of the OPR gene family (HvOPR1) was isolated from barley, the full length cDNA of HvOPR1 was 1298 ...

12-Oxophytodienoate reductase (OPR) 3, a homologue of old yellow enzyme (OYE), catalyzes the reduction of 9S,13S-12-oxophytodienoate to the corresponding cyclopentanone, which is subsequently converted to the plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA). JA and JA derivatives, as well as 12-oxophytodienoate and related cyclopentenones, are known to regulate gene expression in plant development and defense....

Relationship studies have emerged tremendously as an important field of study in communication science, particularly the Public Relations. However, influence Organization-Public (OPR) attributes education industry remains understudied. The purpose this was to investigate relationship between OPR and image a Malaysian private university. A quantitative (survey) method employed using convenient s...

We propose a high-resolution and stable optical power measurement technique employing temperature controlled amplified-spontaneous-emission feedback circuit (ASEFC). evaluate the resolution (OPR) repeatability characteristics of ASEFC. The results show that small time variations in lights emitted from two types light sources used are accurately measured for one hour with improvement factors lar...

Community participation in an environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR) project can help business enterprises effectively develop projects that respond to the actual demands of community and utilize a firm’s resources. This study aims investigate factors affect each stage development. The explored this is sustainable mangrove forest management Pakprasae sub-district Rayong provi...

Abstract Combustion in aircraft engines results the formation of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), among other species. NO impacts air quality is an indirect contributor to radiative forcing, while CO a long-lived greenhouse gas. The International Civil Aviation Organization sets limits on emissions from commercial aircraft, where for with rated thrust greater than 89 kN allow...

Abstract Study question Can endometrial compaction (EC) predict live birth/ongoing pregnancy rates (LBR/OPR) in assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles? Summary answer Our meta-analysis shows that LBR/OPRs are similar cycles with or without EC. Analysis of studies euploid embryo transfers (ETs) also yield LBR/OPR. What is known already EC a novel concept, defined as change thickness (EMT)...

Smallholder oil palm plantations in Riau have reached their economic age (25 years), resulting decreased plantation productivity. One alternative to overcome this problem is rejuvenation (OPR). In implementing rejuvenation, there are two prominent partner institutions, the Village Unit Cooperative (VUC) and Nucleus Estate-Smallholding (NES). As main actors, farmers position choose institutions ...
