In earlier time these genetic maps were constructed by conventional markers such as amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP), thus limiting the density of the maps. A high-density genetic map of S. japonica has ...
The pooled samples were analysed using Affymetrix exon arrays (Affymetrix, High Wycombe, UK). Background correction, quantile normalization, gene expression analysis and robust multiarray analysis (RMA) of the data were completed in Bioconductor (Bolstad et al., 2003). Technical quality control and...
maximum gaps, mean gaps<=5, integrity of individuals on the map and segregation distortion (P < 0.001). The haplotype maps and heat maps generated for each linkage group revealed SLAFs distributed in a regular manner on all 12 LGs and correctly ordered. Moreover, pair-wise recombination ...
Genomic distribution of SNPs and comparison of linkage maps. (A)Number of final QC-filtered SNPs per reference genome contig; Number of final QC-filtered SNPs contained per reference genome contig.(B)Scatterplot of number of SNPs per chromosome comparing the current study to the map of Lien et...
Uniaxial tensile tests were performed using an Instron 3382 testing machine (Instron, High Wycombe, UK). The tests were carried out at room temperature with an deformation rate of 1 mm/min. Flat samples (n= 3 per state) with a cross-section of 2 mm × 1 mm and a gauge length of 5.7...
The microstructure was examined by the Oxford Instruments AZtec software (version 3.1, Oxford Instruments, High Wycombe, UK). TEM and scanning TEM (STEM) investigations were conducted using the Philips CM-12 (FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR, USA) and JEOL JEM-2100 electron microscopes (JEOL Ltd., ...
mm2. The chemical compositions of the BMs were measured by optical emission spectroscopy (model: FOUNDRY-MASTER Pro, OXFORD INSTRUMENTS, High Wycombe, UK).Table 1illustrates the chemical compositions of the BMs and the filler metals that were utilized during the processing of the various weldments...
The microstructure was observed using light microscopy (LM, Nikon Eclipse MA 200, Yokohama, Japan) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Tescan Lyra 3, Brno, Czechia) equipped with an energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS Oxford Instruments, 80 mm2, High Wycombe, UK). The working parameters of ...
The film composition was measured by wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDX, INCA 5.05, Oxford Instruments, High Wycombe, UK) with a measuring field of 60 µm2 with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, Zeiss Gemini SEM 300, Oberkochen, Germany). The electron accelerati...
The scanning electron microscope was equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) with an X-max 20 mm2 detector (Oxford Instruments, High Wycombe, UK). In addition to the phase analysis and microstructure evaluation, the samples were characterized from the viewpoints of mechanical properties...
