Abstract Cross-equatorial ocean heat transport (OHT) changes have been found to damp meridional shifts of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) induced by hemispheric asymmetries in radiative forcing. Zonal-mean energy theories and idealized model simulations suggested that these OHT occur primarily due wind-driven Indo-Pacific’s shallow subtropical cells (STCs) buoyancy-driven deep Atlanti...

Secure two-party computation (STC) is a computer security paradigm that enables two distrusting parties to jointly compute on sensitive input data. While both parties are interested in the outcome of the computation, they are not willing to share their data with each other. Until recently, STC was deemed theoretical and impractical. However, novel efficient cryptographic primitives bring STC we...

Sesquiterpenoid capsidiol, exhibiting antifungal activity against pathogenic fungus, is accumulated in infected ripe pepper fruits. In this study, we found a negative relation between the capsidiol level and lesion size in fruits infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, depending on the stage of ripening. To understand the developmental regulation of capsidiol biosynthesis, fungal-induced ...

Stanniocalcins are expressed in the pancreas tissue, and it was suggested a direct correlation between circulating insulin and STC2 concentrations in human. Here, we show a significant correlation between STC1 and both glycaemia and glycosylated haemoglobin among DM2 patients, while DM2 patients who present the greatest glycosylated haemoglobin values exhibited the lowest STC2 expression. Howev...

The karst landscapes of the Mediterranean are regarded as some most vulnerable, fragile, and complex systems in world. They hold a particularly interesting group small islands with distinctive, recognizable landscape. Republic Croatia (HR), which has one indented coasts world, is known for them. In this paper, we analyzed spatio-temporal changes (STCs) landscape Ošljak Island, smallest inhabite...

Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors usually localized within the tubular bones of the extremities. Soft tissue chondromas (STCs) are rare and only few cases have been reported in the oral cavity. The present case documents the exceptional finding of a 12-year-standing STC of the hard palate of a 63-year-old man. The tumor measured approximately 6 cm in its larger size and it was radicall...

Routing and data aggregation are two important techniques for reducing communication cost of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To minimize communication cost, routing methods can be merged with data aggregation techniques. Compressive sensing (CS) is one of the effective techniques for aggregating network data, which can reduce the cost of communication by reducing the amount of routed data to t...

Sustainable marine fishing practices are often hindered by local-level factors in areas with high fishery potentials, such as Odisha, India. Scientific services to fishing, Marine Fishery Advisories (MFAs) on the Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) and weather information form of Ocean State Forecast (OSF) advisories provided INCOIS, India, valuable knowledge products which can help fishers overcome s...

Solar thermochemical CO2-splitting (STCS) is a promising solution for solar energy harvesting and storage. However, practical fuel production by utilizing earth-abundant iron/iron oxides remains great challenge because of the formation passivation layers, resulting in slow reaction kinetics limited CO2 conversion. Here, we report novel material consisting an iron-nickel alloy embedded perovskit...

Recently a new strategy using BAC end sequences as sequence-tagged connectors (STCs) was proposed for whole-genome sequencing projects. In this study, we present the construction and detailed characterization of a 15.0 haploid genome equivalent BAC library for the cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Heinz 1706. The library contains 129,024 clones with an average insert size of 117.5 ...
