Diverse molecular networks underlying plant growth and development are rapidly being uncovered. Integrating these data into the spatial and temporal context of dynamic organ growth remains a technical challenge. We developed 3DCellAtlas, an integrative computational pipeline that semiautomatically identifies cell types and quantifies both 3D cellular anisotropy and reporter abundance at single-...

ABSTRACT To investigate disease resistance gene analogs (RGAs) encoding coiled-coil-nucelotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeats (CC-NBS-LRR) proteins in western white pine, degenerate primers targeting the conserved motifs in the NBS domain were designed to amplify RGAs from genomic DNA and cDNA. Sixty-one distinct RGAs were identified with identities to well-known R proteins of the CC-NBS-LRR...

To improve the energy efficiency of an industrial process thermochemical storage (TCES) can be used to store excess or typically wasted thermal for utilisation later. Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) has a turning temperature 396 °C, theoretical potential 1387 J/g and is low cost (~GBP 400/1000 kg). Research studies that assess MgCO3 use as medium TCES material are lacking, and, given its potential,...

This paper investigates the ability of different strategies of Differential Evolutionary (DE) Algorithm in dealing with optimal placement of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) in a power system. The primary function of an SVC is to improve transmission system voltage, thereby enhancing the maximum power transfer limit. To enhance voltage stability, the planning problem is formulated as a multi-object...

In this paper the optimal design for maximum sidelobe level (SLL) reduction of three-ring concentric circular antenna array (CCAA) is determined using a novel Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique namely Craziness based Particle Swarm Optimization (CRPSO). Real coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA) is adopted for the comparative optimization. The present text assumes nonuniformly excited array an...
