Multi-element, or “ionomic” studies, which is a concept introduced more than 10 years ago, combines high-throughput element profiling of biological tissues with genetic mapping. In plants, this work was pioneered by Lahner et al. [4], who utilized high-throughput ICP-MS analyses of leaves...
This paper presents a holistic view of identity management domain: a brief introduction about the evolution of IDMSs followed by identity lifecycle management, categories of IDMSs, list of attacks that can be launched against an IDMS, features pertaining to the security of IDMSs in the form of we...
In this article, we jointly consider the problem of efficient power control and coverage (PCC) management over an integrated two-tier macrocell/femtocell network towards maximizing the expected throughput of the system subject to appropriate power constraints, under the existence of both co-tier and ...
Metasurfaces, artificial 2D structures, have been widely used for the design of various functionalities in optics. Jones matrix, a 2×2 matrix with eight parameters, provides the most complete characterization of the metasurface structures in linear opti
1A), and we measured pH, conductivity, mineral content by ICP-MS and total C and N levels (Supplementary Data S1). We used hierarchical clustering to group soil edaphic factors according to their profile, finding 6 clusters of nutrients amongst all soil samples (Fig. 1B). The SP soil ...
compaction furnace (EHA 12/300B, Carbolite Gero GmbH.) equipped with a ceramic tube set to 900 °C in order to compact the produced nanoaggregates. It has been confirmed via ICP-MS analysis that the compaction did not change the average composition of the generated particles collected on a ...
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometry (MS) has become a routine method for the accurate determination of the elemental composition of complex samples [1]. In combination with laser ablation (LA), surfaces can be sampled with high lateral resolution, to generate ‘elemental maps’. LA...
Ginkgo bilobais collected in the form of a dried leaf from a plant of the Ginkgoaceae family. The effect ofG. bilobaextract was evaluated in a post-TBI rat model caused by CCI. The oral administration ofG. bilobaextract after injury in rats remarkably improved NSS and reduced brain edema...
The MamX protein plays an important role in controlling magnetosome size, maturation, and crystal form. The four MamXY proteins appear to have redundant functions involved in magnetosome formation. Our findings provide new insights into the coordinated function of MAI genes and operons in magnetoso...
It can be solved by using iterative methods or closed form solutions. In our case the latter are considered, because they always guarantee convergence. A typical approach involves the root mean square deviation (RMSD), which must be minimized. Using least square optimization the objective function...
