Organelle movement is essential for proper function of living cells. In plants, these movements generally depend on actin filaments, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, in Arabidopsis, we identify associations of short actin filaments along the chloroplast periphery on the plasma membrane side associated with chloroplast photorelocation and anchoring to the plasma membrane. We have t...

We have used fast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy to characterize a series of organometallic methane and ethane complexes in solution at room temperature: W(CO)5(CH4) and M(eta5-C5R5)(CO)2(L) [where M = Mn or Re, R = H or CH3 (Re only); and L = CH4 or C2H6]. In all cases, the methane complexes are found to be short-lived and significantly more reactive than the analogous n-heptane complexes...

Closed phase covariance (CP) analysis is a glottal inverse filtering method which estimates the vocal tract during the glottal closed phase. Since closed phase durations are typically short, the vocal tract computation with linear prediction is vulnerable to the covariance frame position. This study proposes a modified CP algorithm in which a DC-gain constraint is imposed in optimizing the line...

After a brief look at CP violation in kaon decays, a short overview of CP violation in the B-meson system and of strategies to determine the angles of the unitarity triangles of the CKM matrix is given. Both general aspects and some recent developments are discussed, including B c → D ± s D and B → πK decays, as well as the Bd → π +π−, Bs → K +K− system. Invited plenary talk given at the 6th In...

When dealing with the phenomenon of unexpected high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) caused by multicarrer techniques, it is rarely to find a proposed solution that addresses most important challenges together, are; reducing PAPR, achieving performance identical, mostly, theoretical curve and reasonable level computational complexity. This paper presents new proposal able achieve these three ...

New low-cost, high-power proton cyclotrons open the opportunity for a novel precision search for CP violation in the light neutrino sector. The accelerators can produce decay-at-rest neutrino beams located at multiple distances from a Gd-doped ultralarge water Cherenkov detector in order to search for CP violation in nu(mu)-->nu(e) oscillations at short baselines. This new type of search comple...

Rising BCR-ABL1 transcripts indicate potential loss of imatinib response in CML. We determined whether the BCR-ABL1 doubling time could distinguish nonadherence from resistance as the cause of lost response. Distinct groups were examined: (1) acquired clinical resistance because of blast crisis and/or BCR-ABL1 mutations; and (2) documented imatinib discontinuation/interruption. Short doubling t...

Cyclometallated complexes are well-known and have found many applications. This article provides a short review on the progress made in synthesis application to catalysis of cyclometallated half-sandwich Cp*Ir(III) (Cp*: pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) since 2017. Covered iridacycles featuring conventional C,N chelates less common metallocene carbene-derived C,C ligands. is followed by an overview...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Molecular mechanisms underlying the activated spinal microglia in association with the pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) remain unknown. We tested whether P2X7R on spinal microglia mediates the pathogenesis of visceral pain using a CP rat model. METHODS The CP model was induced via intraductal injection of 2% trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid into male Sprague-Dawley rats. Hyper...
