The design of a multipurpose sample cell holder for the high-throughput (HT) beamline B21 is presented. device compatible with robot bioSAXS changer currently installed on BM29, ESRF, and P12 Petra IV synchrotrons. This work presents an approach that uses 3D-printing to make hardware alterations which can expand versatility HT beamlines at low cost.

Hazel (Corylus avellana) is easily attacked by Curculio nucum L. To better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying different resistance of cultivars to C. nucum, we determined insect-resistant compounds, plant hormones contents, and enzyme activities in nutshells three hazel (DW, B21, MZ) before (preexisting defense) after (induced chewing. The findings demonstrated that differed sig...

The paper discusses a model of robot perceptual awareness based on a comparison process between the effective and the expected robot input sensory data generated by a 3D robot/environment simulator. The paper contributes to the machine consciousness research field by testing the added value of robot perceptual awareness on an effective robot architecture implemented on an operating autonomous r...

This paper presents a technique for incorporating delayed decision making into stochastic mapping algorithms for concurrent mapping and localization. The approach explicitly tracks the error correlations between current and previous vehicle states, enabling the initialization of map features using data from multiple time steps and improved data association decision-making. The method is illustr...

MaZda is a computer program for calculation of texture parameters (features) in digitized images. It has been under development since 1998, to satisfy the needs of the participants of COST B11 European project "Quantitative Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Image Texture" and the subsequent COST B21 "Physiological modelling of magnetic resonance image formation". The program code has been written ...

A parallel algorithm for the enumeration of isolated connected clusters on a regular lattice is presented. The algorithm has been implemented on 17 RISCbased workstations to calculate the perimeter polynomials for the plane triangular lattice up to clustersize s = 21. New data for perimeter polynomials D s up to D21, total number of clusters gs up to g22, and coefficients b~ in the low-density ...

The relationship between chromosome deletion in wheat and protein expression were investigated using Chinese Spring and fine deletion line 3BS-8. Through 2-DE (2-D electrophoresis) analysis, no differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in leaf samples; however, 47 DEPs showed at least two-fold abundance variation (p < 0.05) in matured wheat grains and 21 spots were identified by tande...

Ten inbred B-congenic Leghorn lines were challenged with two isolates of Staphylococcus aureus at 3 days and 6 wk of age. Significant differences in mortality were observed among such lines when challenged at 3 days with either S. aureus Isolate P4L (moderately pathogenic) or S. aureus Isolate 3727 (highly pathogenic). Line 331 (B2/B2 genotype) had lower mortality than either Line 004 (B17/B17,...
