This study aimed to test the hypothesis that root morphology might be improved and consequently contributing to superior post-heading shoot growth and grain yield in late-stage vigor super rice. A pot experiment was carried out to compare yield attributes, shoot growth and physiological properties and root morphological traits between a late-stage vigor super rice cultivar (Y-liangyou 087) and ...

Dysregulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) signaling through amplifications, mutations, and gene fusions has been implicated in a broad array of cancers (e.g. liver, gastric, ovarian, endometrial, and bladder). ARQ 087 is a novel, ATP competitive, small molecule, multi-kinase inhibitor with potent in vitro and in vivo activity against FGFR addicted cell lines and tumors. Biochemi...

We report on preliminary results from our XMM-Newton observation of the Low Mass X-ray Binary 4U 1850-087, located in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6712. It is an ultracompact binary system, with an orbital period of 20.6 min. In previous low-resolution X-ray observations 4U 1850-087 displayed a soft excess residual around 0.7 keV, possibly indicative of the presence of a high Ne/O ratio, a...

ARQ 087 is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent activity against the FGFR receptor family, currently in Phase I clinical studies for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. The compound has a very safe profile and induces tumor regressions in FGFR-driven models. The feasibility of combining ARQ 087 with chemotherapy was investigated in FGFR deregulated human xenografts. Nude mice were ...

For most of the CMS ECAL, a 6 crystal by 6 crystal array of physical calorimeter towers is mapped into trigger towers. There is a 1:1 correspondence between the HCAL and ECAL trigger towers. The trigger tower size is equivalent to the HCAL physical towers, .087 x .087 in η x φ. The φ size remains constant in ∆φ and the η size remains constant in ∆η out to an η of 2.1, beyond which the η size do...

We present laser-induced fluorescence velocimetry measurements obtained using the Xe I 6s[3/2]2 → 6p[3/2]2 transition at 823.4 nm (vacuum) and the Xe I 6s’[1/2]1 → 6p’[3/2]2 transition at 834.9 nm (vacuum) from the inside and in the near-field plume of a 6-kW Hall thruster. The thruster is operated under seven conditions with discharge voltages ranging from 150 to 600 V, and anode mass flow rat...

Communication between persons who trust each other differs from that between those who do not. A new conceptualization of trust is offered, drawing from game theory, credibility research, sensitivity/ encounter groups, and studies of generalized expectations of trustworthiness, which makes an important distinction between the cognitive state of iiust and trusting behaviors. Trusting behavior oc...
