The importance of leaf rolling in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has been widely recognized. Although several studies have investigated rice leaf rolling and identified some related genes, knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying rice leaf rolling, especially outward leaf rolling, is limited. Therefore, in this study, differential proteomics and gene expression profiling were used to analyze rol...

Rolling is a movement pattern seldom used by physical therapists for assessment and intervention with adult clientele with normal neurologic function. Rolling, as an adult motor skill, combines the use of the upper extremities, core, and lower extremities in a coordinated manner to move from one posture to another. Rolling is accomplished from prone to supine and supine to prone, although the m...

A central issue for operators of passenger railways is providing sufficient number of seats for passengers while at the same time minimising operating costs. This is the task of rolling stock planning. Due to the large number of practical, railway specific requirements that a rolling stock plan has to take into account, rolling stock plans are often constructed in a step-by-step manner, taking ...

In the face of global competition, the requirement for dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties and surface properties has become a major challenge on aluminum manufacturing industries. Conventional rolling force formulas, however, provide not more than reasonably exact approximations. The mathematical modeling of the hot rolling process has long been recognized to be a desirable approach to...

Leukocyte rolling in postcapillary venules of inflamed tissues is reduced in L-selectin-deficient mice and mice treated with L-selectin blocking antibodies, but the glycoprotein ligand for L-selectin in inflamed venules is unknown. Here, we show that L-selectin-dependent rolling after P-selectin blockade is completely absent in P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1)-/- mice or wild-type mice...

In the manufacturing sector and engineering, the system need for image processing with high performance capability is further increased every day. Image processing functions are used in many areas of medical and industry for product inspection, classification and also estimation of weather and agricultural productivity. Thus saving time and money in the development process and the introduction ...

The Interstitial Free (IF) grade steel sheets are used for auto body applications where these sheets require good formability/drawability property. To achieve this property the cold rolled sheets are annealed to obtain desirable texture in the recrystallised grains to avoid material failure during forming operation. The paper deals with an ultrasonic technique to determine the condition of the ...

Specific arrest of neutrophils in venules is central to their rapid accumulation during local inflammatory responses. Initial neutrophil rolling on endothelium is mediated by leukocyte L-selectin and the inducible vascular adhesion proteins P- and E-selectin. This rolling is a prerequisite for endothelial-dependent neutrophil arrest. Here we describe rolling of neutrophils on the surface of pre...

The paper addresses dynamic and control issues related to a dynamical model called the classical shimmying wheel. The classical shimmying wheel models the rolling dynamics of many physical rolling systems such as aircraft nose wheels, motorcycles, automotive systems and tractor{ trailer systems. Such system can exhibit undesirable unstable rolling motion, i.e. shimmying, which can often lead to...

Production of thin steel strips with 0.18-0.26 mm thickness is about 0.75 of annual production of the two stand reversing cold mill, while its efficiency is 60%. This is due to the fact that after montaging the grinded work rolls, rolling thin steel strips (with thicknesses less than 0.18 millimeters) is unavailable. Initially, unsuitable surface roughness, the friction between rolls and the st...
