The present study aimed at establishing a complete plant regeneration protocol for Didymopanax morototoni (matchwood), a native Brazilian forest species. Four types of explants (root, shoot, node, and cotyledonary leaves) were obtained from in vitro germinated seeds. In the first step, woody plant medium (WPM) with casein hydrolysate (250 mgL-1 ) and 2,4-D (1.0 and 5.0 mgL-1) were used combined...

An efficient and highly reproducible protocol for micropropagation of bird eye chilli Capsicum frutescens was attempted. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.5-3.0 mgl(-1) of 6-benzyladenine (BA), 2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP), kinetin and 0.5-2.0 mg l(-1) of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) along with 1 gl(-1) activated charcoal (AC) were used for shoot regeneratio...

We propose module graphical lasso (MGL), an aggressive dimensionality reduction and network estimation technique for a highdimensional Gaussian graphical model (GGM). MGL achieves scalability, interpretability and robustness by exploiting the modularity property of many real-world networks. Variables are organized into tightly coupled modules and a graph structure is estimated to determine the ...

The fluorescence kinetics of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) dissolved in cyclohexane was investigated as a function of temperature, concentration and 355 nm excitation pulse energy. At concentrations above 2.5 μM and excitation energies above 1 mJ a long-lived, very intense emission, which appears within less than 5 ns and lasts up to 70 ns, is observed. During the first 50 ns the decay do...

Disolved oxygen plays an important role for fish living in its life environment. Information on the ammount of consumption a certain volume water is needed order to give balancing between disolved and it. The objective this research obtaining level juvenile brek (Puntius orphoides) 5-7 cm body length. Oxygen was measured using tube that equiped with DO tool (dissolved oxygent, DO), filled by fr...

The effect of dissolved oxygen concentrations on the behavior of Serratia marcescens and on yields of asparaginase and prodigiosin produced in shaken cultures and in a 55-liter stainless-steel fermentor was studied. A range of oxygen transfer rates was obtained in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks by using internal, stainless-steel baffles and by varying the volume of medium per flask, and in the fermen...

In cellular, tissue-level or whole organ bioreactors, the level of dissolved oxygen is one of the most important factors requiring control. Hypoxic environments may lead to cellular apoptosis, while hyperoxic environments may lead to cellular damage or dedifferentiation, both resulting in loss of overall tissue function. This manuscript describes the creation, characterization and validation of...
