Effects of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) on plant growth and its distribution in a controlled plant-soil system

Scientific Reports, 2017
To demonstrate the responses of plant (Pakchoi) and soil to poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is essential to better understand the pathways of the promotional effect of γ-PGA on plant growth. In this study, the effects of γ-PGA on soil nutrient availability,

Seismic Structural Reliability by Time‐Variant Fragility Functions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability of aging structures is often represented in the form of fragility curves that vary with time. On one hand, each of these functions is intended to apply if the earthquake hits at the time the fragility refers to. On the other hand, performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) resources to classical probabilistic ...

Diet analysis of Clithon retropictum in south coast of Korea using metabarcoding

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: This study focused on the diet of Clithon retropictum, level II endangered species in Korea. Since the development of brackish water zones has led to a decline in the population of this species, to obtain information on the ecology of C ...

Safety and efficacy of a new micronized formulation of the ALIAmide palmitoylglucosamine in preclinical models of inflammation and osteoarthritis pain

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Osteoarthritis is increasingly recognized as the result of a complex interplay between inflammation, chrondrodegeneration, and pain. Joint mast cells are considered to play a key role in orchestrating this detrimental triad.

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

A Resilience‐Based Reward‐Penalty Scheme for Hardening Electricity Distribution Assets Against High‐Impact, Low‐Probability Disasters

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a novel resilience‐based reward‐penalty scheme (RPS) for electricity grids facing high‐impact, low‐probability (HILP) disasters. By modeling the costs of proactive asset immunization against reactive RPS penalties, our analysis conclusively demonstrates that long‐term investment in grid resilience is the more economically rational

Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid Attenuates Angiogenesis and Inflammation in Experimental Colitis

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), naturally secreted from various strains of Bacillus, has anti-inflammatory activity. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), inflammation is promoted and sustained by angiogenesis; however, the role played by γ-PGA in this ...

Quantifying Effects of OM–Cation Interactions on Mid‐Infrared FTIR Absorption Spectra of Polygalacturonic Acid

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The composition of organic matter (OM) was explained by effects of OM–cation interactions using polygalacturonic acid (PGA) as model substance. These effects were analyzed by COO− absorption bands in mid‐FTIR spectra. The change in intensity and wavenumber ranges of COO− bands in FTIR was quantified.

Outcome of combined trabeculectomy with cataract surgery in patients on prostaglandin analogs and aqueous suppressants

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
Purpose: To compare the effect of prostaglandin analogs (PGA) against other glaucoma medications (non-PGA) on the intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes of combined trabeculectomy with phacoemulsification, and the conjunctival cell profile in persons with ...
