Recently, we derived an improved universal upper bound to the entropy of a charged system S ≤ π(2Eb − q 2)/¯ h. There was, however, some uncertainty in the value of the numerical factor which multiplies the q 2 term. In this paper we remove this uncertainty; we rederive this upper bound from an application of the generalized second law of thermodynamics to a gedanken experiment in which an entr...

Breeding at both interspecific and intergeneric levels is an effective method for expanding genetic variation of cruciferous crops; however, few commercially accepted varieties have been released because difficulties in generating fertile progenies. We employed backcross strategy to introduce Eruca vesicaria-specific characteristics into Brassica rapa successfully obtained four BC1F1 lines that...

BACKGROUND GM1-gangliosidosis is a glycosphingolipid (GSL) lysosomal storage disease caused by a genetic deficiency of acid β-galactosidase (βgal), which results in the accumulation of GM1-ganglioside and its asialo-form (GA1) primarily in the CNS. Age of onset ranges from infancy to adulthood, and excessive ganglioside accumulation produces progressive neurodegeneration and psychomotor retarda...

We use standard general relativity to clarify common misconceptions about fundamental aspects of the expansion of the Universe. In the context of the new standard ΛCDM cosmology we resolve conflicts in the literature regarding cosmic horizons and the Hubble sphere (distance at which recession velocity = c) and we link these concepts to observational tests. We derive the dynamics of a non-comovi...

Forward and reverse modes of algorithmic differentiation (AD) transform implementations of multivariate vector functions F : IR → IR as computer programs into tangent and adjoint code, respectively. The adjoint mode is of particular interest in large-scale functions due to the independence of its computational cost on the number of free variables. The additional memory requirement for the compu...

Cholesterol depletion by methyl-b-cyclodextrin, which Biology NCI-FCRDC presumably disrupts rafts, inhibits HIV-1 infection and syncytia formation (J. Hildreth, Johns Hopkins Univ., National Institutes of Health Building 469, Room 104 Baltimore, R. Blumenthal). A limit...

It is widely accepted that the distinctive aroma and flavour traits of Brassicaceae crops are produced by glucosinolate (GSL) hydrolysis products (GHPs) with other non-GSL derived compounds also reported to contribute significantly their aromas. This study investigated profile content four species (salad rocket, horseradish, wasabi, watercress). Solid-phase microextraction followed gas chromato...

The generative spatial layout design process can generate and optimize a wide range of responses by complying with all desired requirements criteria evaluating them based on one or more specific functions. Considering the complexities diversity responses, it is important to know various mechanisms product related them. Based this, aim this research provide mechanism for designing (GSL) housing ...
