Transposable elements (TEs) account for more than 80% of the wheat genome. Although they represent a major obstacle for genomic studies, TEs are also a source of polymorphism and consequently of molecular markers such as insertion site-based polymorphism (ISBP) markers. Insertion site-based polymorphisms have been found to be a great source of genome-specific single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP...

Indoleninospirobenzopyrans (ISBP) undergo under ultraviolet irradiation ring opening with production of strongly coloured merocyanines, which can return thermally or photochemically to the colourless spirobenzopyrans. Their decolouration rate in stretched polymer matrices depends on their molar volume, the physical properties of the matrix and on the orientation of the polarized light with resp...

The rapid growth of social network data has given rise to high security awareness among users, especially when they exchange and share their personal information. However, because users have different feelings about sharing their information, they are often puzzled about who their partners for exchanging information can be and what information they can share. Is it possible to assist users in f...
