Roughing disorder (RD) is a significant quality barrier in citrus fruit, prevalent on easy-peeling mandarins. As RD is not yet well-understood, this study aimed to examine the changes and synergic molecular processes involved in peel RD. Peel with RD was induced by severely defruiting Satsuma mandarin trees. Morphology observations, RNA-sequencing, and targeted and untargeted metabolic analyses...

Electroacupuncture (EA) has been shown to improve impaired gastric motility and slow waves in both humans and animals. However, its effects on colonic motility have rarely been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of EA on impaired colonic motility induced by rectal distension (RD)in dogs. Colon contractions and transit were measured in va...

Consider the Langevin process, described by a vector (positions and momenta) in Rd×Rd. Let O be C2 open bounded connected set of Rd. Recent works showed existence unique quasi-stationary distribution (QSD) process on domain D:=O×Rd. In this article, we study overdamped limit QSD, i.e. when friction coefficient goes to infinity. particular, show that marginal law position is QSD O.
