Prevalence of Seed-Borne Fungi on Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) Seeds Stored Under Medium-Term Cold Room Facilities: Implications for Genebanks

Seeds
This study examined the prevalence of seed-borne fungi in polyethylene plastic-packaged soybean seeds stored in a genebank and identified factors influencing their incidence.

An Empirical Analysis of Energy Demand in Namibia [PDF]

Using a unique database of end-user local energy data and the recently developed Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration, we estimate the long-run elasticities of the Namibian energy demand function at both ...

A fast ethanol assay to detect seed deterioration [PDF]

, 2012
The most common way to test seed quality is to use a simple and reliable but time- and space-consuming germination test. In this paper we present a fast and simple method to analyse cabbage seed deterioration by measuring ethanol production from ...

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Curvature Analysis of Seed Silhouettes in the Euphorbiaceae

Seeds
The Euphorbiaceae is a large, diverse, and cosmopolitan family of monoecious or dioecious trees, shrubs, herbs, and lianas. Their name comes from Euphorbia, one of the largest genera in the Angiosperms, with close to 2000 species and a complex taxonomy ...

Estimating Underlying Energy Demand Trends using UK Annual Data [PDF]

Employing the Structural Time Series Model (STSM) approach suggested by Harvey (1989, 1997), and based on annual data for the UK from 1967-2002, this paper reiterates the importance of using a stochastic rather than a linear deterministic trend ...

Therapeutic strategies for MMAE‐resistant bladder cancer through DPP4 inhibition

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We established monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)‐resistant bladder cancer (BC) cell lines by exposure to progressively increasing concentrations of MMAE in vitro. RNA sequencing showed DPP4 expression was increased in MMAE‐resistant BC cells. Both si‐DPP4 and the DPP4 inhibitor sitagliptin suppressed the viability of MMAE‐resistant BC cells.

To what extent can non-price/income instruments influence the demand for energy? [PDF]

The demand for energy is not simply a function of price and income, but can be shown also to be a function also of the underlying energy demand trend (UEDT).

Fast tuneable InGaAsP DBR laser using quantum-confined stark-effect-induced refractive index change [PDF]

, 2007
We report a monolithically integrated InGaAsP DBR ridge waveguide laser that uses the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) to achieve fast tuning response.
