In animals, long-term feeding with peanut (Arachis hypogaea) seed coats causes hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the thyroid gland. However, to date there have been no detailed studies. Here, we explored the thyroidal effects of dietary peanut seed coats (PSC) in rats. The PSC has high levels of pro-goitrogenic substances including phenolic and other cyanogenic constituents. The PSC was mixed with...

Introduction Bacteria produce and then respond to signal molecules termed autoinducers (AI) in a process of cell-cell communication called quorum sensing (QS). Extracellular AI levels increase with increasing cell density, so AI detection allows bacteria to monitor their population numbers. When AIs reach a critical concentration, the bacteria in the group synchronize their gene expression to o...

  A theoretical density functional theory (DFT) study was performed on a series of the neutral N-phenylthiourea substituents (p-OC2H5, p-CH3, m-CH3, H, p-Cl, p-Br, m-Cl, and p-NO2) as the sensor of acetate and fluoride anions. The hydrogen bond character was analyzed as a scale ...

This paper proposes perceptual compressive sensing. The network is composed of a fully convolutional measurement and reconstruction network. For the following contributions, the proposed framework is a breakthrough work. Firstly, the fully-convolutional network measures the full image which preserves structure information of the image and removes the block effect. Secondly, with the employment ...

A method for online tensor dictionary learning is proposed. With the assumption of separable dictionaries, tensor contraction is used to diminish a N -way model ofO (

Quorum sensing is the regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density. To measure their cell density, bacterial populations produce and detect diffusible molecules called autoinducers. Individual bacteria internally represent the external concentration of autoinducers via the level of monitor proteins. In turn, these monitor proteins typically regulate both their own produc...
