Rc is a domestication-related gene required for red pericarp in rice (Oryza sativa). The red grain color is ubiquitous among the wild ancestors of O. sativa, in which it is closely associated with seed shattering and dormancy. Rc encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein that was fine-mapped to an 18.5-kb region on rice chromosome 7 using a cross between Oryza rufipogon (red pericarp) and...

Maassen, N., M. Foerster, and H. Mairbäurl. Red blood cells do not contribute to removal of K1 released from exhaustively working forearm muscle. J. Appl. Physiol. 85(1): 326–332, 1998.—K1 released from exercising muscle via K1 channels needs to be removed from the interstitium into the blood to maintain high muscle cell membrane potential and allow normal muscle contractility. Uptake by red bl...

The ability of four different species of white rot fungi viz., Coriolus versicolor, Termetomyces sp, Pleurotus ostreatus and Schizophyllum commune to remove Azo dyes from aqueous solutions were evaluated in batch culture under laboratory conditions. C. versicolor was found to be the most efficient colour removing species for the three dyes investigated. Maximum removal capacity of C. versicolor...

the redeye effect is typically formed in consumer photos taken with a built-in camera flash. The paper presents a new algorithm of the automatic removal of redeye from digital photos. The proposed algorithm can remove red-eye automatically without manual intervention. First, Detecting faces by using the AdaBoost algorithm. Second, the red-eyes are located by using operations of segmentation, mo...

Adsorption studies are usually required to confirm or rule out the presence of underlying alloantibodies in samples containing warm autoantibody. Allogeneic adsorptions are necessary if the patient has been recently transfused. Most commonly, allogeneic adsorptions are performed using a trio of phenotyped reagent red blood cells to rule out clinically significant alloantibodies to common antige...

Quaternized palm kernel shell was successfully prepared by reacting with N-(3-chloro-2hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride in basic condition. Adsorption experiments of Reactive Red E (RRE) dye were carried out in single batch system studied at various initial concentration, contact time and pH at 25°C. It was found that at pH 4 quaternized palm kernel shell showed the highest dye removal p...

ABSTRACT: Activated carbon was developed from coconut shell, characterized and used for the removal of Rhodamine-B from wastewater successfully. The methylene blue number, iodine number and BET surface area of the prepared carbon were found to be 80 mg g, 600 mg g, and 1200 m g respectively. Rhodamine B is one of the water soluble, basic red cationic xanthene class dyes, a common water tracer f...
