An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

The Prediction of Abrasion Resistance of Mortars Modified with Granite Powder and Fly Ash Using Artificial Neural Networks

Applied Sciences, 2023
This paper predicts the abrasion resistance of a cementitious composite containing granite powder and fly ash replacing up to 30% of the cement weight. For this purpose, intelligent artificial neural network (ANN) models were used and compared.

Geotechnical Engineering Properties of Fly Ash and Bottom Ash: Use as Civil Engineering Construction Material

Engineer: Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka, 2018
Norochcholai coal power plant is the largest coal power plant in Sri Lanka and during the combustion of coalit annually generates about 250,000 metric tons of coal ash which consists of fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA). Almost all the generated ash is disposed into ash dumps except a small quantity of FA (30%) that is effectively utilized.
