NUCLEAR FACTOR Y, subunit A (NF-YA) proteins positively regulate flowering and act through FLOWERING LOCUS T
(2016-12-15)
Photoperiod dependent flowering is one of several mechanisms used by plants to initiate the developmental transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. The NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) transcription factors are ...
GDTN: Genome-Based Delay Tolerant Network Formation in Heterogeneous 5G Using Inter-UA Collaboration
(PLos One, 2016-12-14)
With a more Internet-savvy and sophisticated user base, there are more demands for interactive applications and services. However, it is a challenge for existing radio access networks (e.g. 3G and 4G) to cope with the ...
Large Scale Research Data Archiving: Training for an Inconvenient Technology
(2016-08-03)
ABSTRACT:
At small scales, storage is straightforward to afford and to use, but at large scales – from several Terabytes (TB) to many Petabytes (PB) and soon Exabytes (EB) – tradeoffs must be made between cost and ...
Performance of Glass Woven Fabric Composites with Admicellar-Coated Thin Elastomeric Interphase
(2016-05)
Adequate stress transfer between the inorganic reinforcement and surrounding polymeric matrix is essential for achieving enhanced structural integrity and extended lifetime performance of fiber-reinforced composites. The ...
NUCLEAR FACTOR Y, Subunit C (NF-YC) Transcription Factors Are Positive Regulators of Photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
(PLos Genetics, 2016-09-29)
Author Summary Light perception is critically important for the fitness of plants in both natural and agricultural settings. Plants not only use light for photosynthesis, but also as a cue for proper development. As a ...
Confined Mobility of TonB and FepA in Escherichia coli Membranes
(PLos One, 2016-12-09)
The important process of nutrient uptake in Escherichia coli, in many cases, involves transit of the nutrient through a class of beta-barrel proteins in the outer membrane known as TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) and ...
Modeling and Experimental Validation of Anomalous Moisture Absorption of Micro and Nanocomposite Laminates
(2016)
Susceptibility of polymeric composites to moisture has been well known for several decades. Most high performance epoxy or bismaleimide (BMI) resins and their fiber-reinforced composites may absorb up to 5 wt% moisture ...
The role of Rnf in ion gradient formation in Desulfovibrio alaskensis
(2016-04-14)
Rnf is a membrane protein complex that has been shown to be important in energy conservation. Here, Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20 and Rnf mutants of G20 were grown with different electron donor and acceptor combinations to ...
Productivity and offshoring innovative activities
(2016-03-24)
Recent studies suggest that firms may gain from global sourcing of innovative activities. Yet, only a small number of firms offshore their R&D, design, and engineering tasks. To explain this selection pattern, this paper ...
Differences in the Control of Secondary Peristalsis in the Human Esophagus: Influence of the 5-HT4 Receptor versus the TRPV1 Receptor
(PLos One, 2016-07-20)
Objective Acute administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine4 (5-HT4) receptor agonist, mosapride or esophageal infusion of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) agonist capsaicin promotes secondary ...
