Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is an ammonium preferring plant species. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying this preference. Herein, a chloroplastic glutamine synthetase gene (CsGS2), which is vital for nitrogen assimilation in mesophyll tissue, was isolated from tea cultivar C. sinensis cv. ‘Longjing43’. The full length cDNA of…[Read more]

BPQ-SNEDDS and their hydrogels demonstrated linear flux across non-infected CD-1 mouse skin ex vivo of 182.4 ± 63.0 μg cm-2 h-1 and 57.6 ± 10.8 μg cm-2 h-1 respectively localising BPQ within the skin in clinically effective concentrations (227.0 ± 45.9 μg and 103.8 ± 33.8 μg) respectively. These levels are therapeutic as BPQ-SNEDDS and their g…[Read more]

A new analytical procedure was developed for the determination of lead in human placental tissue by direct ultrasonic slurry sampling combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (SS-ET AAS). Samples of dried and crushed placental tissue were mixed with 10 mL of 0.20% (v/v) HNO3 and homogenised. The slurries were then transferred to…[Read more]

Differences in HRR parameters after 10 minutes of seated recovery were identified after submaximal versus maximal exercise (P < .001). In addition, although ANS was more suppressed after maximal exercise, HRV indicated incomplete recovery, and regardless of the test, recovery %MHR and lnRMSSD values did not return to pretest %MHR and lnRMSSD…[Read more]

Most trackers focus solely on robustness and accuracy. Visual tracking, however, is a long-term problem with a high time limitation. A tracker that is robust, accurate, with long-term sustainability and real-time processing, is of high research value and practical significance. In this paper, we comprehensively consider these requirements in order…[Read more]

Shelter and safe housing is a basic human need that brings about a sense of ownership, self-sufficiency, and citizenship. Millions of people around the world live in inadequate dwellings in unhealthy areas, such as urban slums. These dwellings may experience indoor temperatures that impact inhabitants’ health. Indoor dwelling temperatures vary…[Read more]

Changes in the soil radon concentration are treated anomalous for values exceeding one and two standard deviations (m±σ and m±2σ) from the mean value for the selected duration. Two nearby and the strongest events suggests pre-seismic variations which are related to the earthquake precursory signatures. The observed results are explained in the lig…[Read more]
