Introduction: Ubiquicidin 29-41 (UBI) is a fragment of the cationic antimicrobial peptide that is present in various species including humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate radiochemical and biological characteristics of [6-hydrazinopyridine3-carboxylic acid (HYNIC)]-UBI 29-41 designed for the labeling with Tc using tricine as coligand. Methods: Synthesis was preformed on a solid...

Developing transgenic resistance in monocotyledonous crops against pathogens remains a challenging area of research. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a serious pathogen of many monocotyledonous crops including sugarcane. The objective of present study was to analyze transgenic expression of hairpin RNA (hpRNA), targeting simultaneously CP (Coat Protein) and Hc-Pro (helper component-proteinase) ...

This work analyses the viability of a universal basic income (UBI) in Europe. To do it, we develop “state art” analysis covering main aspects this initiative, beginning with its possible formulation within European welfare systems. paper contributes to ongoing debate about controversial UBI, providing both evidences and arguments that support or undermine initiative. allows us conclude evidence...

Ubiquitous power includes one important factor that is the coordination among small instances of individualized smart programs. With the coordination, intelligent strategies can be established to realize computing topology and to serve different purposes of computing goals. With the development of cellular phones and internet, these individualized programs exist in the digital world where a new...

SUMMARY In this paper, we propose a framework that provides users with personalized interfaces by sharing user-centric context between real and virtual environments. The proposed framework consists of ubi-UCAM for generating user's contexts, NAVER for managing virtual environment, and rv-Interface for linking ubi-UCAM with NAVER. Firstly, personalized interface helps users to concentrate on the...

Entropy is a basic and important concept in information theory. It is also often used as a measure of the unpredictability of a cryptographic key in cryptography research areas. Ubiquitous computing (Ubi-comp) has emerged rapidly as an exciting new paradigm. In this special issue, we mainly selected and discussed papers related with ore theories based on the graph theory to solve computational ...

This special section is committed to capture the state-of-the-art and recent advances on various aspects of intelligent multimedia system and data management for ubiquitous computing (Ubi-Com). It aims to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of intelligent multimedia system ...

Sorghum serves as staple food for millions of people in Asia. It ranks as the sixth most planted crop and it is vulnerable to fungal diseases resulting in decreased grain quality and yield loss. Agrobacterium strains used were LBA4404 harbouring pcambia-ubi-chi11 (rice chitinase), EHA105 harbouring pcambia-ubi RC7 (rice chitinase) with bar gene and EHA105 harbouring pMKURF2 (rice chitinase gene...

Abstract We compare two welfare programs: the universal basic income (UBI) and negative tax (NIT). Under a linear system, we show that (i) NIT can replicate allocation of UBI exactly by providing an identical marginal effective schedule, (ii) budget is always smaller than UBI. According to our quantitative model, which calibrated approximate wealth distributions in United States, optimal pay ev...
