In breeding for plant disease resistance programs, a large number of new improved genotypes are tested over a range of test pathogens or environments and the underlying statistics used to model this system may be rather complicated. Due to ordinal nature of most measured traits of disease responses, some nonparametric methods used for analyzing genotype × environment (GE) interaction in two dat...

We propose that the indirect adatom-adatom interaction mediated by the conduction electrons of a metallic surface is responsible for the sqrt[3]xsqrt[3]<==>3x3 structural phase transitions observed in Sn/Ge (111) and Pb/Ge (111). When the indirect interaction overwhelms the local stress field imposed by the substrate registry, the system suffers a phonon instability, resulting in a structural p...

Epitaxially oriented wafer-scale graphene grown directly on semiconducting Ge substrates is of high interest for both fundamental science and electronic device applications. To date, however, this material system remains relatively unexplored structurally and electronically, particularly at the atomic scale. To further understand the nature of the interface between graphene and Ge, we utilize u...

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus. VZV infection of human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) xenografts in immunodeficient mice models the infection of sensory ganglia. We examined DRG infection with recombinant VZV (recombinant Oka [rOka]) and the following gE mutants: gEΔ27-90, gEΔCys, gE-AYRV, and gE-SSTT. gEΔ27-90, which lacks the gE domain that interacts with a putativ...

The mRNA processing body (P-body) is a cellular structure that regulates the stability of cytoplasmic mRNA. MARF1 is a murine oocyte RNA-binding protein that is associated with maintenance of mRNA homeostasis and genomic stability. In this study, autoantibodies were used to identify Limkain B (LMKB), the human orthologue of MARF1, as a P-body component. Indirect immunofluorescence demonstrated ...

The study describes a Grammatical Evolution (GE) system and applies it to establish the inflow prediction model of Der-Ji Reservoir in central Taiwan. GE is a new computing architecture in the area of optimization. It provides system identification in a transparent and structured way; a fittest function type of input-output relationship will be obtained automatically from this method. A multi-...
