Eremosparton songoricum (Litv.) Vass.is a rare and extremely drought-tolerant legume shrub that is distributed in Central Asia.E.songoricum naturally grows on bare sand and can tolerate multiple extreme environmental conditions.It is a valuable and important plant resource for desertification prevention and environmental protection, as well as a go
Electrotactile Feedback for the Discrimination of Different Surface Textures Using a Microphone
Most commercial prosthetic hands lack closed-loop feedback, thus, a lot of research has been focusing on implementing sensory feedback systems to provide the user with sensory information during activities of daily living.This study evaluates the possibilities of using a microphone and electrotactile feedback to identify different textures.A conden
Efficacy of l-cysteine in increasing circulatory hydrogen sulfide, nitrite, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in Zucker diabetic fatty rats and in vitro treatment of hydrogen sulfide and nitrite in upregulating vitamin D hydroxylase genes in monocytes
ABSTRACT: Dairy products, such as whey proteins, have been effectively used to enhance the effectiveness of vitamin D (VD) fortification and optimize circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)VD] levels.Whey protein is rich in l-cysteine (LC) which is the precursor of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), enhances glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis, and promotes positi
A potentially novel overlapping gene in the genomes of Israeli acute paralysis virus and its relatives
Abstract The Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) is a honeybee-infecting virus that was found to be associated with colony collapse Accessories disorder.The IAPV genome contains two genes encoding a structural and a nonstructural polyprotein.We applied a recently developed method for the estimation of selection in overlapping genes to detect purif
Online recognition method of partial discharge pattern for transformer bushings based on small sample ultra-micro-CNN network
Oil impregnated paper bushing is the key equipment connecting a transformer and a power grid.Insulation deterioration may cause partial discharge, which poses a Gym Mats great threat to the safe operation of power systems.In order to realize the online diagnosis for partial discharge and automatic identification of insulation defects of transformer
