Ripening-associated pectin disassembly in melon is characterized by a decrease in molecular mass and an increase in the solubilization of polyuronide, modifications that in other fruit have been attributed to the activity of polygalacturonase (PG). Although it has been reported that PG activity is absent during melon fruit ripening, a mechanism for PG-independent pectin disassembly has not been...

EOLib, the Earth Observation Image Librarian is an upcoming Image Information Mining (IIM) system for earth observation (EO) products. As integral part of a payload ground segment (PGS) it operates on the original EO products, metadata, and on computed higher level abstractions including basic features and semantic annotations of product tiles. The core goal of EOLib is to introduce mature info...

BACKGROUND Embryo biopsy is a new invasive procedure applied in ART for diagnostic purposes in preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) or to increase pregnancy rate in preimplantation genetic screening (PGS). The objective of this study is to assess mental and psychomotor developmental outcomes in 2-year-old children born after PGD/PGS, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and natural concep...

Polarized conceptual graphs (PGs) are simple conceptual graphs added with a restricted form of negation, namely negation on relations. Classical deduction with PGs (in short PG-Deduction) is highly intractable; it is indeed Π P complete. In [LM06] a brute-force algorithm for solving PG-Deduction was outlined. In the present paper, we extend previous work with two kinds of results. First, we exh...

PROSTAGLANDINS (PGs) are natural constituents of the brain and spinal cord. They are released from the central nervous system (CNS) spontaneously, in response to electrical and chemical stimulation and during fever. In addition to their action on brain-stem neurones when applied iontophoretically (Avanzino, Bradley and Wolstencroft, 1966) they have potent CNS effects which are now considered. B...

Metabolism of free (nonesteriRed) arachidonic acid (5,8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid) via the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway produces a cascade of biologically active compounds collectively known as prostaglandins (PGs). These include prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F2 (PGF2), prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) (Figure 1). The analysis of PGs and rela...

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the financial performances leading airline companies in Europe before during Covid-19 process. Design/methodology/approach  In study, 7 top 10 terms number passengers 2019, second quarter fourth 2019 2020 were taken into consideration. Financial ratios, which are frequently used literature, calculated through data obtained from rep...

Background: Pediatric gliomas (PGs) are highly aggressive and predominantly occur in young children. In pediatric gliomas, abnormal expression of Homeobox (HOX) family genes (HFGs) has been observed is associated with the development progression disease. Studies have found that overexpression or underexpression certain HOX linked to occurrence prognosis gliomas. This aberrant may contribute dys...

A snapshot imaging Mueller matrix polarimeter (SIMMP) is theoretically described and empirically demonstrated through simulation. Spatial polarization fringes are localized onto a sample by incorporating polarization gratings (PGs) into a polarization generator module. These fringes modulate the Mueller matrix (MM) components of the sample, which are subsequently isolated with PGs in an analyze...
