The Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans is predicted to secrete hundreds of effector proteins. To address the challenge of assigning biological functions to computationally predicted effector genes, we combined allele mining with high-throughput in planta expression. We developed a library of 62 infection-ready P. infestans RXLR effector clones, obtained using primer pairs corre...

Tidal streams are complex watercourses that represent a transitional zone between riverine and marine systems; they occur where fresh and marine waters converge. Because tidal circulation processes cause substantial turbulence in these highly dynamic zones, tidal streams are the most productive of water bodies. Their rich biological diversity, combined with the convenience of land and water tra...

This paper presents linear models built for the purpose of investigating tempo-dependent interaction between two components of Polish speech rhythm, namely Rhythmic Prominence Intervals (RPI) and syllables, within the framework of coupled oscillator model ([1], [2], [3]). The relative coupling strength parameter (r) calculated from regression coefficients shows increasing strength of the lower-...

The aim of this study was to investigate the performance rapeseed protein isolate (RPI) or concentrate (RPC) as such and after lactic acid bacteria fermentation ingredients in composite wheat baking. Bread recipes were developed replacing flour with RPI (10%) RPC (20%) obtain a high bread. Fermentation Weissella confusa A16 enabling synthesis situ dextran contributed obtaining bread improved te...

The present study was conducted to obtain estimates of certain biological and economic indices of the trophic structure of the Omani landed fish catch, namely, the mean trophic level (MTL), the fishing-in-balance (FiB) index and the relative price index (RPI). The MTL generally decreased from 1995 to 2010, indicating a fishing-down of the marine trophic web. The FiB index increased, indicating ...

The study develops the displacement error recovery method in a mesh free environment for finite element solution employing radial point interpolation (RPI) technique. RPI technique uses basis functions (RBF), along with polynomials to interpolate fields node patch and recovers field. global local errors are quantified both energy L2 norms from post-processed considers multi-quadrics/gaussian/th...

The replacement of animal with plant proteins in human diets has been increasing recent years. impact blending milk protein concentrate (MPC) isolates from soy (SPI), rice (RPI) and pea (PPI) on the vitro digestibility antioxidant activity resultant blends was investigated. Different protein–MPC (i.e., SPI–MPC (25:75), RPI–MPC (50:50) PPI–MPC (25:75)) were analyzed. lowest corrected amino acid ...

Reference point indentation (RPI) is a novel experimental technique designed to evaluate bone quality. This study utilizes two RPI instruments, BioDent and Osteoprobe, investigate the mechanical responses of several 3D-printed polymers. We correlated properties from tensile test with parameters obtained OsteoProbe. In addition, we tested same polymers five years later (Age 5). The results show ...

Power is a central concept in relationships, yet existing self-report measures of relationship power are not well validated and do not assess all aspects of power. To address this, we developed the Relationship Power Inventory (RPI), a self-report measure of power for romantic partners. In Study 1, we identified the most important decision-making domains in romantic relationships. In Study 2, w...
