Active zones are the sites of neurotransmitter release, but their assembly mechanisms are poorly understood. In this issue of Neuron, Graf et al. perform a genetic screen in Drosophila and uncover a novel role for the Rab3 GTPase in organizing the active zone at the neuromuscular junction.

Porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus L.) stands as a prominent agricultural product in Indonesia. As the demand for porang continues to grow, it becomes crucial balance with expansion of suitable land cultivation. The selection appropriate crop planting requires thorough analysis feasibility, commonly known suitability assessment. This study aims evaluate identify limiting factors, and explore po...

introduction: the modis facility for the earth observing system is a key element that supports ambitious goals related to studying the earth as a system. one of the modis products is high quality land surface temperature data that product in terra and aqua platforms. knowledge of the lst provides information on the temporal and spatial variations of the surface equilibrium state and is of funda...

loaded and a portion of the nitrate is absorbed by the blood stream as nitrate and nitrite. Some of the nitrate Nitrate contained in forage may pose performance and health risks that is absorbed recycles back to the rumen through to ruminants. With timely and accurate assessment of forage nitrate levels, steps to reduce the risks of excessive nitrate intake by livestock saliva thereby adding ag...

objective: to investigate the friction of rabbit’s knee joint with designed pendulum friction tester to diagnose and evaluate different pathological and therapeutic conditions following haemarthrosis, osteoarthritis, and other joint disorders. materials and methods: friction coefficient of 10 adult male albino rabbit’s joint (5 right and 5 left knees) weighted 1.59 ± 0.27 kg, after designing a...

in this paper, the effect of bedrock inclination on seismic performance of slopes is investigated. the study was conducted based on dynamic analysis of different slopes, evaluation of the earthquake acceleration in sliding mass, and calculating the permanent displacement of the slope, using newmark sliding block. the investigation indicates that variation of the bedrock inclination may cause th...

slope instability due to landslides is particularly common in iran. it is possible to fight against these hazards thanks to the roots of trees, which provide an important contribu-tion towards the stability of hillslopes. however, our knowledge of the effectiveness of roots for slope stability needs improvement. therefore this study was carried out on the effect of tree roots on slope stability...
