Solenostemma argel (Delile) Hayne is a desert plant that survives harsh environmental conditions with several vital medicinal properties.Salt stress is a major constraint limiting agricultural production around the globe.However, response mechanisms behind the adaptation of S.argel plants to salt stress are still poorly understood.In the current st
Randomly polarised beam produced by magnetooptically Q-switched laser
Abstract Diode-pumped solid-state micro case of whispering angel lasers are compact (centimetre-scale), highly stable, and efficient.Previously, we reported Q-switched lasers incorporating rare-earth substituted iron garnet (RIG) film.Here, the first demonstration of the magnetooptical (MO) Q-switch in an Nd:YAG laser cavity is performed.We fabrica
Development of a porcine skeletal muscle cDNA microarray: analysis of differential transcript expression in phenotypically distinct muscles
Abstract Background Microarray profiling has the potential to illuminate the molecular processes that govern the phenotypic characteristics of porcine skeletal muscles, such as hypertrophy or atrophy, and the expression of specific fibre types.This information is not only important for understanding basic muscle biology but also provides underpinni
Advanced Integrated Driver Information Systems
Future driver information systems will consist of a plurality of information components containing the classic instrumentation like instrument cluster, radio and trip computers, but also new components like car telephones, navigation systems and even TV.This development leads firstly to a new kind of instrument cluster design and secondly to a rath
Two-stimuli manipulation of a biological motor
Abstract F1-ATPase is an enzyme acting as a rotary nano-motor.During catalysis subunits of this enzyme complex rotate amundsen field slacks herre relative to other parts of the enzyme.Here we demonstrate that the combination of two input ludwig modular hardware stimuli causes stop of motor rotation.Application of either individual stimulus did not
