Ant13 Encodes Regulatory Factor WD40 Controlling Anthocyanin and Proanthocyanidin Synthesis in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Flavonoid compounds like anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins are important plant secondary metabolites having wide biological activities for humans. In this study, the molecular function of the Ant13 locus, which is one of the key loci governing flavonoid synthesis in barley, was determined. It was found that Ant13 encodes a WD40-type regulatory protein, which is required for transcriptional activa

The genome sequence of the high brown fritillary, Fabriciana adippe (Dennis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Fabriciana adippe (the high brown fritillary; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 485 megabases in span. Most of the assembly (99.98%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules with the Z sex chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.1 kilobases in length. Ge

Evaluation of Klystron Modulator Performance in Interleaved Pulsing Schemes for the ESS Neutrino Super Beam Project

It has been proposed that the relatively low duty cycle of the European Spallation Source (ESS) linac allows acceleration of additional mathbfH^- ion pulses interleaved with the baseline proton pulses, representing a unique opportunity to construct a neutrino super beam (ESSnuSB) facility of unparalleled luminosity. Coupled with a distant Cherenkov detector, it is believed that evidence of CP viol

Delineating Health and Health System : Mechanistic Insights into Covid 19 Complications

This book discusses the organ-specific systemic manifestations of COVID-19. The initial chapters of the book review the origin and evolution of the coronaviruses, followed by pathogenesis and immune response during COVID-19 infection. The book also provides insight into the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in the onset of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogen

Outcomes Following Exenteration for Gynecological Neoplasms

The primary treatment of gynecological malignancies has considerably evolved over the last century, with a move to less aggressive procedures when appropriate. However, gynecological malignancies comprise a heterogeneous group, with varying treatment options. The choice of reconstructive method for urinary and fecal diversion is crucial, as most patients have been irradiated with high doses or had

Prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among migrant and refugee groups : A systematic review and meta-analysis

Objectives: Understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among migrant and refugee groups is critical for achieving vaccine equity. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among migrant and refugee populations. Methods: A systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42022333337) was conducted (December 2019–July 2022) using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest and Google S

Long-term Impact of Immediate Versus Delayed Treatment of Early Glaucoma : Results From the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial

PURPOSE: To compare long-term visual outcomes in the 2 arms of the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT) and determine if delayed treatment was associated with a penalty in terms of visual function. DESIGN: Long-term follow-up of a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. METHODS: EMGT was carried out at 2 centers in Sweden; 255 subjects with newly detected, untreated glaucoma were random

PrSLoc : Sybil attack detection for localization with private observers using differential privacy

During the localization process in wireless networks, risks such as Sybil attacks and nodes’ location privacy leakage can exist due to the open and shared nature of wireless networks. However, it is challenging to obtain accurate location for sensor nodes while preserving the privacy of observer nodes who assist in sensor node localization while in the presence of Sybil attacks. Therefore, in this

Symptoms of depression and anxiety among elite high school student-athletes in Sweden during the COVID-19 pandemic: A repeated cross-sectional study

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated numerous changes in daily life, including the cancellation and restriction of sports globally. Because sports participation contributes positively to the development of student-athletes, restricting these activities may have led to long-term mental health changes in this population. Using a repeated cross-sectional study design, we measured rates of depression us

High Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Antibody Responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine-an Observational Study in Adults from Ronneby, Sweden

BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used, environmentally ubiquitous, and stable chemicals that have been associated with lower vaccine-induced antibody responses in children; however, data on adults are limited. The drinking water from one of the two waterworks in Ronneby, Sweden, was heavily contaminated for decades with PFAS from firefighting foams, primarily perfl

A BIM-based approach to design a lifecycle 3D property formation process : A Swedish case study

3D property formation has become an important solution to provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the property's physical characteristics than traditional 2D property formation. Despite the numerous benefits of the 3D property formation, there is a need for more detailed descriptions of 3D cadastral data delivery between the involved actors to ensure efficient and effective col

The Smart Predicting of Algal Concentration for Safer Drinking Water Production with Sensor Data

To better predict the timely variation of algal blooms and other vital factors for safer drinking water production, a new AI scanning–focusing process was investigated for improving the simulation and prediction of algae counts. With a feedforward neural network (FNN) as a base, nerve cell numbers in the hidden layer and the permutation and combination of factors, etc., were fully scanned to selec

Plasma levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are associated with altered levels of proteins previously linked to inflammation, metabolism and cardiovascular disease

Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been linked to immunotoxic and cardiometabolic effects in both experimental and epidemiological studies, but with conflicting results. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate potential associations between plasma PFAS levels and plasma levels of preselected proteomic biomarkers previously linked to inflammation, metabolism an
