FLO11, a Developmental Gene Conferring Impressive Adaptive Plasticity to the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Pathogens, 2021
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a remarkable ability to adapt its lifestyle to fluctuating or hostile environmental conditions. This adaptation most often involves morphological changes such as pseudofilaments, biofilm formation, or cell ...

Crack Severity Classification from Timber Cross-Sectional Images Using Convolutional Neural Network

Applied Sciences, 2023
Cedar and cypress used for wooden construction have high moisture content after harvesting. To be used as building materials, they must undergo high-temperature drying. However, this process causes internal cracks that are invisible on the outer surface.

Fast Number Theoretic Transform for Ring-LWE on 8-bit AVR Embedded Processor

Sensors, 2020
In this paper, we optimized Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) and random sampling operations on low-end 8-bit AVR microcontrollers. We focused on the optimized modular multiplication with secure countermeasure (i.e., constant timing), which ensures high ...

Precipitation and recovery of lysozyme denatured by urea and guanidine hydrochloride using anionic surfactant and acetone

Journal of Chemical Engineering of Japan, 2023
The surfactant precipitation and recovery method (SPR method) consist of a precipitation step, that is precipitation of protein-surfactant complex by the addition of aqueous surfactant solution to aqueous protein solution, and a recovery step, that is ...

Trehalose-6-phosphate promotes fermentation and glucose repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Microbial Cell, 2018
The yeast trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (Tps1) catalyzes the formation of trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) in trehalose synthesis. Besides, Tps1 plays a key role in carbon and energy homeostasis in this microbial cell, as shown by the well documented loss of

Automatic Classification of Crack Severity from Cross-Section Image of Timber Using Simple Convolutional Neural Network

Applied Sciences, 2022
Cedar and other timbers used for construction generally undergo a high-temperature drying process after being harvested to maintain their quality. However, internal cracks occur during this process. This is an issue because it deteriorates the structural

Snack Texture Estimation System Using a Simple Equipment and Neural Network Model

Future Internet, 2019
Texture evaluation is manually performed in general, and such analytical tasks can get cumbersome. In this regard, a neural network model is employed in this study. This paper describes a system that can estimate the food texture of snacks.

Conferring cellulose-degrading ability to Yarrowia lipolytica to facilitate a consolidated bioprocessing approach

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Background Yarrowia lipolytica, one of the most widely studied “nonconventional” oleaginous yeast species, is unable to grow on cellulose. Recently, we identified and overexpressed two endogenous β-glucosidases in Y.
